October 2008

Another busy October has come and gone. Time just seems to fly by. Sophie was pretty funny with her costume this year. I had all these great ideas, because she is only 2 and I should still be able to determine what she is going to dress up as, not the case. She was quite adamant about being a princess. She didn't necessarily care what kind, she just knew she wanted to be a princess and there was no changing her mind. On Halloween night she went as a princess for 1/2 the night and then put on a dinosaur costume that Abi wore when she was almost 2. I guess she got tired of the princess. Abi was going to be a football player, but changed her mind and went as a witch (a very cute witch). On Halloween day she switched things up and was a Genie for 1/2 the day, a witch for trick or treating. Although I always have great plans to do all the fun Halloween activities, we didn't quite make it to everything I wanted to. We did, however, make it to a few fun things; we went to Gardner Village the week before Halloween to see all the witches and the petting zoo (Sophie loved the baby pigs), Ken and Carol took Abi and Sophie to a pumpkin patch, and of course trick or treating on Halloween. This was the first year we actually stayed home and I can't believe how many trick or treaters we have in our neighborhood. Here are some random pictures from Halloween festivities in October.
The Dawes' came over on Halloween night....here's all the kids

Lily even dressed up as a witch, but we really wanted to find a devil costume, although she is that every day.

This is right before we went to Gardner Village...me and my girls'

She is such a pretty princess
