Unfortunately his ears look like dog ears, but if they were standing right they would look like Dopey's big ears.
Wow who is that woman?! Are we really seeing pictures of Marlies on here? Only because I made Kent take the picture. I am tired of always being the one behind the camera! Besides I deserve the credit for the costume that I made!
You can get a little glimpse of his left ear, but funny how he hated the costume a few days ago.
Now you've got a look at the cute patches on the arms. See the picture of Dopey below and you will see I did my best to put in all the detail. Even Disney itself didn't do as well. (Please let me take pride in my work ok)
This is the picture that I used to get ideas from. 
This is a game I came up with for the kids to play at the ward party. It is actually quite fun because of the difficulty. Put it together yourself if you have some empty canning bottles and wiffle golf balls. You'll see it's not as easy as it looks.
Our Pumpkin won scariest pumpkin at the ward party.
Here is the scoop. The ward party went well with a few exceptions. First we didn't get the chili on soon enough (my fault) and so we had about thirty minutes of trying to entertain people while we got the chili heated up. It worked out ok though. Second we didn't get prizes out for costumes and pumpkin carving early enough and so some of the winners had left. Other than that and Kent having to go to Layton to get our five dozen free doughnuts from Krispy Kreme (all the Salt Lake locations closed and I am really annoyed) we had the party turn out ok.
Last night was very fun too. Kent, Braxton and I went to McDonald's for dinner. Braxton had the whole play area to his self almost. After that it was off to the mall to exchange some pants at Eddie Bauer and show off Braxton's costume. Once we were there and saw the crowds Kent and I had no desire to hang out with the mall trick-or-treaters. After that we went to our friends house and Kent hung out with them (party poo per) while I taught Braxton how to trick-or-treat. Braxton wasn't so sure, but after two houses of knocking on the door and getting candy he was all about this game. He loved it. Everyone told him he was cute and gave him candy and that was great fun. We ended up trick-or-treating eight houses when I had only intended on going to three. Had we not already had too much candy at home I would have gone to more.
Today Braxton already got mad at me because after two candies and a sucker before breakfast I won't let him have more candy right away. Poor kid with a mean mom. Anyway we had a great holiday and I am really looking forward to the upcoming holidays. Maybe tomorrow I will share my new ideas about the two holidays as one great holiday.

I am so happy that Braxton came to terms with his costume and was a happy camper while wearing it. He looked adorable! (Props to the professional who made the costume *wink*) Also great job on pulling off your ward party! Our ward did nothing! They are boring! Anyhow..You look so cute in the pictures with Braxton...I was VERY happy to see a front facing picture of your beautiful face! It's been a while!
Thank you, thank you! I too was happy with the costume and the party. I am also glad to have a current picture of myself that I actually don't want to burn (theoretically). I just decided that Kent always hands me the camera and so it was my turn for him to take a good picture of me, and I love my new shirt from Eddie Bauer. I didn't know how good it looked on me.
