This picture says it all...Halloween was too much fun. Dressing up like Dory from finding Nemo, people giving away candy and Grandma Solano's package. If Ashlyn could do it all over again, she would. One triumphant moment was the king sized snickers that a neighbor was giving out. For my own health and waistline, I need to get rid of the candy loot soon. 
We went to a trunk or treat at our church building on Saturday night (since the BYU vs SDSU football game was postponed until Dec. 2nd), and Brock was a good sport and sweated it out in a full body wet suit in order to match Ashlyn and her friend Lizzy who were Nemo and Dory. Later that evening Brock and I went to one of his co-workers party, but nobody really got the Office reference. He went around conversing with it all evening forgeting that I was even there. I had to keep saying "Quiet YOU!" I can't believe there was a whole party of peers that were not office fans. Give me a break, Give me a break, Break me off a piece of that____ ____ ___
On Tuesday while Brock took a mid-term that had been postponed due to the fires I went to to another trunk-or-treat so Ashlyn could hang out with her cousins. She had a hard time taking her mind off the candy, but interacted a little and got the trick or treat, hold out bag, and thank you routine down really well. When Daniel had his batman mask down Ashlyn did not want to go near him. On Wednesday I went to a BBQ where Becca works and Brock did an internship over the summer. A Pirate Chicken kept trying to scare Claire, but it didn't even phase her. She is so easy going. Her bottom tooth is already coming in on her left side and now she decided to go out of order and grow a top tooth on her left side. She grinds the two teeth together and it is painful to listen to. When it comes in longer she'll look a little lopsided, but still too cute.

applesauce? Chrysler car? footbal cream (our personal favorite)? (btw we are at patandjen.blogspot.com)
Brock's costume was the best. We are driving to CA just to see it on him. Or maybe when you guys come to visit you should bring it.
Great Halloween costumes; however, I'm disappointed in your lame co-workers who aren't fans of The Office. Anyway -- thanks for the Brooklyn Sky(e) advice. We just might take it. As far as name origins, the "Sky" part is obvious enough with her father being named Skyler, but Brooklyn is just a favorite. The Baby Name Wizard lists is as a match to go with both Payton and Skyler. And maybe, just maybe, she was conceived while Kar and I were on vacation in NYC! Just kidding (but she really might have been -- we found out a few days after we got back from our week long trip). Hope all is well!
A full body wetsuit? That sounds comfortable! But it does complete the theme well.
At least while Brock was busy trying to find a fellow Office lover (strange that it was so difficult) you had another head to talk to! Emily, did you make that paper mache mate? You guys look great!
the chocolate fair is coming again, the chocolate fair is coming agin. i wish you were here. it was a fun day sampling chocolate and buying hot chocolate. i hope you are all doing well. toodles!!!
I'm not sure if it's a compliment or not, but Brock makes a great Michael Scott! Too bad he has such lame co-workers. Only a father would even consider wearing a full body wet suit as a costume option! :) Of course, we all know Brock is always looking for excuses to show off his figure...
