You all came up with so many good costume ideas for our Halloween party!! For awhile we were definitely taking the advice of Rebecca Melander who came up with the brilliance of Katy Perry and Elmo. I even went so far as to try on the corset I wore under my wedding dress back in 1937 in the attempt to put together a costume.
The corset still fit. Sort of. But some of my stomach now seems to be in different places. And my breathing was a bit labored. I considered going as Elmo.
But then a few days later, we saw friends who dressed up as characters from “Friday Night Lights” for a party. And it was like one of those Oprah aha moments except way more important and life changing.
I want to be married to Coach Taylor of “Friday Night Lights.”
And now I could be!
So we borrowed their costumes. Rick went as Coach Taylor and I went as a Panther cheerleader…
Rick is giving his best brooding Coach Taylor look.
And I clearly look EXACTLY like Minka Kelly.
You know, if she was blonde. And born ten years earlier. But whatever. We’re pretty much exactly the same.
Our Halloween party was super fun.We danced our asses off. And this is what Coach Taylor looks like after a few cocktails…
Trust me when I say… after a few drinks, I still looked like Minka Kelly.
And I almost forgot – I have kids! Who also dressed up for Halloween.
Here is super boy baby and super girl baby…
Dylan and Summer both planned on being pink haired super girls but then at the last minute, Summer decided to go cheerleader because who needs to fight evil when you can cheer for boys at a football game…
The girls trick or treated and ate candy until they cried.
It was perfect.

omg. Can the kids get any more adorable? I mean you and Rick. Oh and the little ones are pretty darn cute, too. GREAT photos!
You had a party and I wasn’t invited?boo hoo
SO adorable.
Super cute!
Can they be any cuter? And you two? Love it!! I *love* Friday Night Lights! Awesome show and what a great costume idea!!
Why didn’t I think of taking a photo of us after a few cocktails at our Halloween party? Oh wait. I know why! Cause we were the first ones to go home – apparently two glasses of vin and I am drunk.
loved the costumes of all of you! perfect. and those babies could not be cuter
Love how the babies look like they’re holding hands!
And, you’re rocking the outfit — I would be better fit to come as a puff-a-lump.
Gorgeous! love the pony tail!
PS: Your pony tail!
Why is everyone so adorable and photogenic? Why?!
Fabulous!
Such great costumes! And although everyone was fab THOSE BABIES! MY LOINS! TOO MUCH!!!
As soon as I saw the picture of you two I said, “Yesssss!”
What a great post! Between this one and Aunt Michelle’s, I can’t decide which is cuter!!! I ALSO ate candy ’til I cried!!! And when I got on my talking scale this morning it said, One at a time please”.
Girl, if there is ONE person who could have gone as Tami Taylor, it is you! A little cleavage, hair down, tight pants and a TX accent. Coach Taylor would not be caught dead with a cheerleader! But you are an adorable pair nonetheless.
Love it! Fabulous!
I want to eat candy until I cry. Maybe while the kids are at school?
I wish I were there because I could have joined you as Buddy Garrity.
Dear Minka, I mean Kelcey, you guys look amazing. And it’s nice to have some blue in the mix with all that pink, right?
I love the super girls and boy! And, please tell Summer that the cheerleader costume change was brilliant. Fletcher also pulled a last minute change to a dragon. (it turned out to be a very wise move because it slowed him down – unlike his sister who was so speedy and got so much candy that she made herself sick. . .twice).
You and Rick look fantastic – I am so glad that you figured out a way to marry coach Taylor without resorting to polygamy. xoxo
I have such a fricken headache from all the candy…I really need to start watching friday night lights…this post might have made more sense. :-} maybe Heidi and Tim for you next year?
Love your costumes!! Great idea! When I saw the photo before reading I was thinking, How did they get all that Panther stuff so fast? But I see u borrowed it! Even better! Kids all look adorable!
cute cute family, and how smiley is harlowe!!!
And you got all the kids smiling; both twins at the same time. Super Mom….where was the Party? A house? A bar? Public or private? How many people? Any celebrities? You used to see them all the time when you lived in Manhattan…
you guys look great. all of you. looks like you had a great halloween
What a SUPER family.
snork snork.
totally not fair that you are that skinny with four children. and you eat candy corn.
I LOVE the picture of the super twins. So cute! And of course the pink haired older sisters were pretty adorable as well.
