Riding the "horse"
John's office goes over the top to organize a Halloween party for the children of those who work on his floor. This is our second year to attend the party and the boys love it. They get lots of candy and other treats and, of course, its another chance to wear our costumes. John's office area actually won the contest for best decorations, costumes, and theme with their rodeo/western attire and decor.
In other news, we took a break from the Halloween parties and the boys attended their first ever college football game. John took them to see the Minnesota Gophers play the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Minnesota actually pulled off a win! The weather was relatively nice (it was cold, but no rain and the sun was out) and John was able to find tickets for everyone at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from the big event because Finn and I watched (in between cleaning house and doing laundry) from home, but the boys loved it. John said they were speechless when they walked into the stadium. They had hot dogs, popcorn, and hot chocolate. While Aiden didn't really care too much for watching all of the game, Luke and Liam really got into it. Everyone enjoyed the fact that the Gopher Mascot dressed up in various costumes during the game. One of the costumes happened to be "Darth Maul" from Star Wars. Liam accurately pointed out that his costume was incorrect because Darth Maul has a double red sword and the gopher/Darth Maul had a blue sword.
The boys can't wait for annual Halloween parade and trick or treating in our neighborhood this Thursday. More to come! |
