Halloween Costumes, Cookie Monster’s Birthday, BYU “Milktoberfest”, McGoo U November, and a Preview of Arty’s Holiday Cookie Party

Our Halloween costumes were ROCKIN! I went as Star Lord and Arty went out as Gamora. Liz did all her make up and mine (I needed a little more color in my beard). Her make up included silver from PME. It was AWESOME! See… cookiers have ALL the tools! We had a great time walking around Paso Robles and enjoying the evening. In the middle of town, the streets were blocked off for trick-or-treating, and a dance stage area was set up… but COMPLETELY EMPTY! I took advantage of the situation, and the grand opportunity to embarrass my kids and stole the floor. Here’s a video that my kids asked me not to share…
