Happy Halloween!

Awesome Halloween at the Bott house! 

Jake was Woody and Captain America

Anna was Jesse 

Ruth was....well i don't know

Emily was a skittle for the Halloween dance. 

 Can you tell that he lives with girls! Lipstick on the face and nails, how creative!

 I totally made this costume out of hot glue and an old t-shirt that was in our throw away bag. My talents are sometimes hard to find, but I must say I am thrifty in unique ways!

 The group made caramel apples at our house after. Here they are waiting for the caramel to cool.

Homecoming

Emily had such a fun time at homecoming this year. During the summer while Alan, Ruth and I were in Chicago Emily decided to purchase this super cheap not so cute homecoming dress. As homecoming drew closer Emily began to regret her choice so...once more we contacted our very amazingly talented neighbor and she helped us out. Meghan Parrish transformed a plain Jane nothing spectacular dress to the dress she is wearing! The dance was so fun! And the funnest part of the evening I was able to chaperon the dance with three of her close friends moms! What a fun night! P.S. modest is always the hottest!!!!!!

Water Grass

We had a heavy rainfall and....well this is what our grass looked like afterwards

Jake sure enjoyed it though!
