My friend, Lisa has decided to try to post something on her blog everyday of November so I am going to join her in this quest... well, at least for the time I am actually home... I am vacationing this month so if I'm in my house I will post something that day. There are plenty of things that have happened this summer that I would like to document so this shouldn't be too difficult for me. But, since we just celebrated Halloween, it seems easy to start off with this rather than rack my brain remembering all the details of our summer. So let's show you our Halloween in pictures.
Avery was very firm on what she wanted to be for Halloween this year... Tinkerbell! The girl is a bit obsessed with this particular fairy and since she has a mother who can't sew, yet is more than happy to go to the local store and purchase her a Disney costume, the fulfillment of her wish was as easy as if she just sprinkled Tinkerbell's fairydust herself!
Hadleigh isn't that much of a talker yet so she got stuck with what her mommy chose for her. I really wanted her to be Thumbelina because really, what would be cuter to accompany Tinkerbell than Thumbelina? Obviously, Disney didn't get my request in time because it seems the only Thumbelina costume they make is for kids older than four. Oh, what to do? Simple, let Avery chose Hadleigh's costume. Avery wanted Hadleigh to dress up as Snow White and the costume was quite cute so I concurred. The only thing Hadleigh's costume was missing were the Seven Dwarfs, which I was really quite annoyed with because mommy could really use the help around here... but I digress. Either way, Hadleigh was the cutest Snow White you ever did see!
Avery was beyond excited to put on her costume and get going but since it was still broad daylight outside we had to hold her back from going to the neighbors' homes and begging for candy. What better way to kill time than taking more pictures? Avery is getting to that age where she gets annoyed being asked to smile for the camera but sometimes... especially if you bribe her with the hope of trick or treating, she'll amuse you and behave herself. Luckily, we were able to get these shots before her patience got the best of her... and before her sister fell asleep!
Okay, so that last shot wasn't exactly from Halloween but it was a cute "trial run" picture where the girls weren't fighting with me or eachother so it has to be included... for posterity and all.
After all the picture taking was said and done, we decided to get a move on and head out into the neighborhood. Avery was thrilled! Hadleigh? Well, she was asleep, at 6:45! Yeah, our girl can hang!
Oh! And we carved pumpkins! Usually, we wouldn't be so excited about this but Rob and I were very impressed with our carving skills this year. We'll let the picture of our pumpkins end this post. Bring on Thanksgiving!!!
