Meet the Flintstones!Fabric for a last-minute Wilma and Pebbles costume: $6.00A fabulous Wilma wig (since I just got my hair colored and was too afraid to spray color on my hair) : $5.00 (PS - McKinley wanted me to take this picture, she said 'Mom, take a picture of me and put it on your blog... haha!)Borrowed Fred costume, Bam-Bam costume, Betty costume, Barney costume, and VERY fancy Wilma pearls: $0.00 (thanks Amy and Chelsea!!!)Black spray-on hair color for an authentic Fred look: $1.08Riding with the family down the street: $0.00 (courtesy of Fred's two feet :)Having a Yabba-Dabba-do time with the Rubbles (and bringing back a time when the phrase 'we'll have a gay 'ole time' just meant good old fashioned fun - even though our husbands were wearing dresses!) : PRICELESS (yes, there really ARE some things that money can't buy!)The kiddos enjoying hot-dogs and candy at the ward party - (left to right) Mason as the Flintstone's pet saber-tooth tiger (did you know his name was Baby Puss? I couldn't call him that! I would have gone with the better-known Dino for Mason, but I couldn't dress my son as a pink dinosaur!), McKinley as the lovable Pebbles, and Carson as the 'spirited' :) Bam-Bam.My cute little Pebbles!Excuse me, your balls are showing :) Inside joke - please don't be offended :) Men really shouldn't wear dresses!

You guys look SO awesome! Halloween is so much more fun when you have cute little kids to dress up. I know this has been my favorite by far having Lily to put into ridiculous costumes.
When are you guys coming down here again? I'm going out to lunch with Natalie today and wish that you would be there too!
