happy halloween

Here's Cadie dressing up for dance class in the costume that Chelsea made her last year!





We had such a great Halloween! The girls enjoyed carving their pumpkins - they designed and named them themselves - Ella and Ellie. Very original. The pumpkins were both smiling :)




We also had a fun time trick-or-treating until the end when they both decided simultaneously that they were done and needed to go home. They proceeded to ask the house we were at to drive them home. Thank goodness we were at Kristin and Jake's and they said yes! Libby was Larry the cucumber and couldn't sit down in her costume. She also had no peripheral vision. Cadie was Bob the tomato and couldn't walk up or down steps as she couldn't lift her knees very high. Both girls, once toppled over (which happened often) could not stand back up on their own. I was sick of my double wide stroller (long story) so decided to carry David trick or treating. I had to put him down in order to pick up a toppled veggie. At one point Libby and Cadie ran into each other and were both down - it was so funny I didn't even pick them up right away - all the other trick or treaters were laughing and loving their costumes, too. I think next year practicality will win out, though! :)

  2. You did an awesome job on their costumes. They look great! And so funny they ran into each other...it must have been like a scene out of a movie. Ha ha! Oh, and Cadie's expression at her dance class - what a cutie!

  3. That was such a cute story of toppled over veggies! Are you trying to brain wash them to eat their veggies? Looks like you guys had a fun Halloween - thanks for letting me steal Chels, we had so much fun!
