Ahhh . . . Halloween


This was the first year that Max dug in and carved his pumpkin all by himself--he even scooped out the guts! Yea, Max! He did a great job. Lily had help with her "cat" pumpkin, well, probably more help than she needed. I just can't help myself! That was a fun night.


We got this princess costume for Lily and once she saw the collar that stood up, she was inspired to be a Vampire Princess.



And lest you think I was a lazy costumer this year, when Max said he wanted to be Indiana Jones (about 8 months ago), I started looking for an appropriate Indy shirt. They don't exist. So I dyed one! AND I sewed the gun pouch out of felt, because those don't exist either. He had a whip too, a real one, but just didn't want to carry it around when I wasn't about to let him "use" it--not with all those kids around! All in all, we had a great Halloween. They gladly handed over their junk candy for some awesome Trader Joe's and Whole Foods confections, and each got to pick out a toy at Toys R Us. Now on to the next holiday!

Bethanie, every time I see little Lily I can't believe how much more she looks like you. So darling! Seriously, she is a little mini you! Love it!
