At first he determined to be the world's most fierce and celebrated ninja.
This came as no surprise to us or to anyone who knows Brock.
Then, one day, quite suddenly, Brock changed his mind about shopping for a ninja Halloween costume and announced that he was going to be Kellen Moore this year.
(For those not in "the know," Kellen Moore is the QB for the Boise State Broncos).
We were surprised and delighted!
Clarke and I shopped for the perfect jersey. Brock already had the socks and the football cleats.
All that was missing was the pants, the shoulder pads and the helmet.
This is where I give a very gracious shout out to Clarke's sister, April--who came to the rescue when she sent us her son's used football gear. Thanks a million, April!!
Clarke and Brock spray painted the helmet and we added the Bronco stickers and extra pads.
We also attached a face mask to the helmet, BUT it added about 10 extra pounds and was way too heavy for Brock, so we took it off and B went maskless on Halloween.
This was the perfect costume for our rough and tumble boy!
We spent Halloween with Nanay, Alison, Jamin, Travis & Libby.
Brock and Jamin could hardly contain their trick or treating excitement!
Grrrrr....
Jamin made an awesome Ninja Turtle:
Travis was the cutest Spider man, ever!
The boys...
The cousins...

...and we all fall down!
Libby was the most elusive (and adorable) witch! She was so crafty that she managed to outwit my lightening fast shutter speed and I wasn't able to capture as many pictures as I wanted!
Alison stepped in and helped contain Halloween's most flighty, little witch for this cute,
mother-daughter gem:
Hope your Halloween was as fun and spooky as ours!
