Halloween 2010

Halloween this year was, of course, very exciting as always. The kids all knew exactly what they wanted to be. James was set on the grim reaper, Mae just had to be a green witch, and Brooks was adamant about going as the Prince of Persia (even though you'll see in the pics below, he looks more like a Jedi--good thing he's too young to know;)). Porter was the exception ... he really didn't care what costume he wore so long as he came home with a bucket full of candy (I guess that means he's getting older).

As ridiculous as we probably look every year, Kevin and I just can't help but dress up in some shape or form. It's just too much fun. A couple of nights before Halloween we headed to the Spirit of Halloween store--along with James who "needed" a half axe for his costume--to scope out some costume ideas. After contemplating bacon and eggs, Avatars (that one looked pretty fun), and vampires (let's face it, Kevin's already got the hair for it), we decided just to scrimp around the house like we've done in previous years (oil riggers two years ago, pirates last year, etc.) and come up with something hodgepodge.

And so we ended up going as ... BYU super fans. I know, I know, very original!

Here's the whole clan.
And here are my terrifying cuties.
Oh, and this little cutie ... super fan baby (notice the duck-taped "Y").
Mae was determined to be a green witch, but wasn't so sure about it once Kevin got the paint on.
James held a mini grim reaper convention at the trunk-or-treat we attended with our church.
Prince of Persia meets ghoulish ghost .. but way cuter!
I guess I never mentioned that Porter ended up going as John Connor (Terminator Salvation).
Rise and Shout the Duecks are out.
So, the fun part was that my good friend came in her University of Utah sweatshirt. After a quick visit (for her) to the face painting station, we decided to have a little fun with our friendly rival (don't worry, no one was injured in the taking of this picture) ...
Oh, and what's Halloween without a picture of grandma in her traditional Pumpkin Fairy outfit.

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010
