halloween

 

tonight our neighborhood hosted a gathering (that's where we are above)...the kids all wore their halloween costumes - which was nice. b/c they certainly didn't much use out of them last night due to the rain. we made it to 3 houses & had to call it quits.

as you can see, garrett was his favorite character...ELMO (or 'Melmo' as he said in the beginning). lucy was our little sweet pea! last night i took next to no pics b/c we were ToT'ing w/ a few families & it was mass chaos, plus the rain, plus B had to stay w/ L in the stroller while i chased G. apparently we had not explained ToT'ing very well to G...b/c he RAN INTO everyone's house! i chased him all the way back into one neighbor's kitchen. he didn't get the whole "ding dong, i'm elmo, drop the candy!" thing. :-)

we've really enjoyed our w/e, though. brian's on paternity leave last thurs - this wed, so it's been great to just sort of celebrate every day & be together as a family. all holidays have certainly taken on new meaning w/ little ones. it's so. much. fun.

Cute! I love the story of G; so stinkin' cute! This AM @ church I passed by his room after dropping off A nearby and I'm sorry to say he was standing at the door with another little boy, crying. A nice lady was talking to him, but I'm not sure it was working. :)

Yes, Halloween was much too cold and wet for my liking too! xoxo

Lee also attempted to enter a home, and hugged one little boy who gave him candy at another. Love little boys!

2 cuties you have there!! we don't participate in halloween over here in the UK as it is all about the scary things of halloween and not all about being young and innocent cute little animals and stuff. so maybe one day we'll just dress up for fun!
