Halloween and other goings on...

I have referred to scouting in the Wood household as an elephant I have to eat... Well, here's another bite. Taylor has achieved his 1st and 2nd class scout and several of his badges towards his Eagle Scout- including the "big 3"- which according to Jeremy is a BIG deal! His badges are the big long column. I have to give a shout out to his leaders. They make it all easy for the mother-(I hope they can all stay in their callings for the next 15 years till I don't need them anymore:) Congrats buddy, I'm proud of you and your example for your 5 younger brothers:)

Halloween was fun this year. We had a ward Halloween party put on by the youth. Taylor got to help put on the party for the Primary and the 4 others got to enjoy:)

Jeffrey was an army man, Michael a "cereal killer", Easton a lion, and Bretty was a bunny. I don't have my sister or mother's creative genes. I do ,however, have my mother in law and the ability to "borrow" her creative genes. Ilene made the lion- in fact 3 children have now worn that costume:). She also made the bunny, which my father in law says Jeremy wore way back when!

Halloween and in fact this whole Fall has been so nice. Notice Easton's bare feet. I'm going to go into shock when the "white stuff" comes in just a few weeks:(

Your title made me think of Grandma Carol! And I know you are more creative than you think. Plus it takes a real man to pull off a bunny costume with pink ears. Maybe could I borrow that for Suzie next year!;)

CONGRATS to Taylor!!! What a huge accomplishment and he's only 12! Well done Taylor! We are so proud of you!

Halloween looks like it was fun, but I can't stop laughing/chuckling at Brett in that bunny costume. So stinking cute!!!!!!!!

what is is with boys and no shoes? I put them on my 4th and as soon as I turn around they are off and no where to be found. We are just starting scouts and I am hoping for great leaders as well because I will be in over my head if not. That is awesome that he got that much done! (by the way I like your hair in the picture)

Congrats to Taylor! I feel the same way about scouting... ;0). It cracks me up that Braden and Michael are getting to the age where they are too cool to actually dress up in costume- so funny! Your boys are our favorites! (And your hair is getting really long- it looks great!)
