Saturday Night at the Coe's

Sad to see Carrie & Taylor head back to Australia, we squeezed in one last dinner together (thanks to our matriarch - grammy) on Saturday evening.

Nobody can get enough of Taylor - we will all miss him!!



After dinner it was time to help each other get ready for our evening commitments! Pete & Heather & the kids were headed for a 'trunk or treat' at church...

So, Jed, the army-guy, needed his face paint, masterfully done by his make-up artist papa!



Henry, the Joker, needed HIS face paint done by his talented mama! (And he LOVED the outcome! Stared at himself in the mirror quietly smiling for quite a while!)


Harriet, the colorful girl, who made her OWN costume, appropriately, took care of herself! (what, no pic? sorry, harriet)



And here's chain-gang Jack, making some extra noise (do you think we needed any of that?!) on the recorder!!



After saying our sad goodbyes to Carrie & Taylor
(& his "bob-bob" balloon),
g'ma & g'pa headed off to the airport with them . . .



. . . . and the toothless hockey player with a black eye
& his ref headed off to their halloween party.
(See mom, we went!!)

In case you are wondering where Abbie & Kenzie were . . . Kenzie spent the day taking the ACT, and working at the Mission Viejo 'Fall Festival' and Abbie won a couple lacrosse games & then had a few friends over to help her "brother-sit."

Fun post Sue! Thanks for having us over, it was the highlight of a very busy day. And love yours and Dave's costumes - it's so nice when his missing front teeth can be useful...
and the second to top photo shows Harriet from the back, kind of a sneak peek at her costume..
See you on the 31st!

You must not have stayed at the party long! How did you have time to post this already! I love it :) It is always a great time when we all get together. Oh, and when I read the text before scrolling down to see the pic of you and Dave, I thought it said "red headed" and I stopped reading to look at the picture to see what you were! Lol. You guys look great. I hope you enjoyed yourselves.

The bob-bob balloon (da-da-duh) stayed with us throughout check in and security and all 3+ hours of waiting. Then we had to say good bye to bob-bob as we boarded the plane. It saved me! Thanks Dave!!! Tay took it all around our Gate, proudly showing it off! ONly a few crusty people wouldn't respond to his excitement, and it was those people who Taylor kept returning to. SO funny.

Oh ya, this is a comment not an email... It is more like one of mom's epic voice mails!!! (love ya mom :)

Finally getting time to look at blogs! What fun! So glad you made it, hockey guy and ref. I know Stephanie 's party was fun. OH-OH, an epic "email" post is happening.

Grandpa will love this in the morning! xox,
