Halloween and the Wii!


Out little cowboys and of course, the dashing Obi Wan. Don got the costume from a rental place nearby but it came with a mediocre lightsaber. Joe came to the rescue and lent Don one of his amazing lightsabers that was a big hit at Don's office.

I got Will's costume a few weeks early so he would get used to it before Halloween came. I asked him several times to try it on and he always either refused or hated every minute of it. We tried to prep him by talking up Halloween and told him he'd have to wear his costume to get candy, and lo and behold, the day of our ward party, he was really excited to put on his costume and gave us no problem at all. We got him to say "Howdy, pardner" when he went to the doors to trick or treat. It was pretty cute. He keeps asking if we can go to another party. He loved to share his candy with everyone, too. He'd always come up to me with his pumkin and say "What do you want, Mom?" Even when he only had 2 pieces left. Burke is still at the clueless age a little bit and I don't think he even knew he was dressed up, though he looked adorable.
Last week I turned on the bath water and Burke was standing at the edge of the bathtub. He started to lean over to touch the water and fell right in the tub in his pj's! After a little shocked look, he got all happy and started splashing around in the tub, pj's and all.
Don, Joe, David and my brother Alex playing tennis on Joe's Nintendo Wii. We've had a ton of fun playing with this system the last couple of months, thanks to Joe. I hear he's planning on bringing it to Wenatchee for Christmas, so everyone get prepared for the fun!

I heard nintendo Wii tennis can be a bit intense. I never played, but my friend strained his arm muscle playing Wii tennis.

At first when he told me he strained his muscle playing Wii, I didn't know what he was talking about; then I realized it was the video game. Pretty funny. Looks like fun from your picture there.
