Boo.

I'm not that into celebrating Halloween...but this year we had several occasions to party. (Which, I was ok with-because I got lots of hand me down Nerds and Tootsie Rolls.)

We started things off a week or so early just giving the costumes a trial run.

The dog pushing the dog. Good thing for the trial run though, because the head didn't fit so we had to go to Plan B.
The hips on this thing crack me up. Especially because K is such a rail. I loved watching her waddle around!
We moved on to Tinkerbell. Unfortunately not even fairy dust can get you out of the occasional time-out.
My friend Meredith had a ridiculous Halloween party. Reese thought it was awesome to dress up.
Not in time-out this time. Just cute.
Pumpkin pinata! Since otherwise they might not have gotten enough candy.

Kaiya a day late and a dollar short. She is so cute-and always a little late on the big kid fun.
My sweet, wonderful, amazing friends whom I love so very much! Why these 3 cute, type A, got it together girls chose to be friends with me I don't know-but I'm grateful!!
The beautifully staged group picture.
Ava and Natalie in a fairly rough game of Ring around the Rosey.
On actual Halloween we went to my friend Kim's. Another fabulous get together. The cowboy below was not actually sharing his beer with my baby. It made me laugh though.
Little pumpkin sitting all alone dipping her tortilla chips in ketchup and wearing a hood. I can't hear the music her drum plays, but it certainly different and she definitely marches quite happily to it!
The benefits of having an ortho doc host the party: disgusting pictures of severed body parts shown via i-phone to keep my husband from getting a motorcycle.
I forgot at first that this was actually Reese she was holding. Yikes. Sorry sister!
A couple attempts.

Cuddle bunny. (cuddle giraffe just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.)
A bunch of cuties getting ready for a night on the town! (street)

The green beans on the left are ours. Ava was ALL over it. 90 mph an hour from house to house.
