Happy Halloween!

Brace yourself for a lot of mediocre photos of some adorable children. I was really hoping for a great photo shoot, like I had last year. We got dressed, set out, the kids were in a GREAT mood, loving their costumes, their ears, and the fact that we were doting on their every move. I told them to hold hands and they were even doing that adorably. However, running in uncomfortable shoes, while holding hands leads to busted lips on poor Mickey, so all I got were these. You'll just have to imagine them being about 10 times cuter. I promise. At Nana's, pre-trick-or-treating (you can zoom in here for a shot of Ethan's lip). First (of 4) houses: I love their faces in the picture. Kate's like, "Ethan, don't look now, but there is a HUGE bowl of awesome candy right there, and I think she's going to let us take some of it!!!!!!!!" Ethan didn't really grasp the take-the-candy-with-you concept. He more got the eat-the-candy-they-just-gave-me-while-we're-still-standing-here concept. Good thing we only made 4 stops. One M&M here, a bite of Milky Way there never hurt anyone. Uncle Thrine (Matt) helping out T-o-t wrap-up:K: That was pretty awesome E: Yeah K: Everyone thinks we're pretty cute E: Yeah K: Do you think we can do this every night? E: I sure hope so **Once again, Nana came through with darling costumes. She made Kate's dress and almost everything else was purchased and since I couldn't take credit for a single thing last year, I will say that I made Ethan's shorts (okay, I took red shorts and sewed the buttons on them), spray painted his shoes, and made the sacrifice of going to Disneyland for the ears. Baby steps.
