Happy Halloween

Yesterday was Ryan’s work Halloween party where all the employee’s kids are invited to go trick-or-treat at the office. It’s always lots of fun for the kids to see how Melaleuca has transformed their building and how their parents have dressed up. It also worked out great for Alex because her school had their Halloween party and let all the kids dress up as well.

The marketing department where Ry works decided on a jungle theme this year and had characters from Gilligan’s Island, cast aways or deserted island people and other jungle themed characters. Ryan chose Tom Hanks character from the movie Cast Away. He grew a beard out for about a week, got some ratty clothes and made a “Wilson” ball that he carried with him. He did a really good job.

Alex was a snow princess and Connor was a cowboy. Hayden was too small to fit into any costume so I just put him in a Halloween onesie and called it good.

I’m not sure that we will be doing any trick or treating tonight, but I know Alex is really going to want to dress up again. Maybe I can talk her into just staying home and handing out candy. That’s what she did last year and still had a lot of fun.
