The real Halloween

I just thought I would post a few pictures of the girls on the actual Halloween. They had a good time trick-or-treating and really worked hard for their candy! They must have walked a mile or so ... and if you add up and down all the stairs everyone has up to their front doors in our neighborhood then probably more like two! They got lots and lots of candy so we have the "if you eat two more bites of healthy food, then you can have another piece of candy" conversation many, many times a day. Caroline went along for the ride and was really a trooper. She hung right in there and it made me laugh how weirded out she seemed to be to be out when it is dark outside. She kept reaching her hands in the air like she was trying to grab the light coming from streetlamps.

Here are the twins with "their" pumpkins

All ready! Do you like our Happy Halloween sign? It was hand decorated by the twins, their cousin Kate ... and hand crinkled and drooled on by Caroline ...
Until we have more holiday decorating money in the budget, we will stick to kid crafts =) ... they made these little cats at pre-school

Oh, if only ... I already have the twins pretty convinced that it stinks to be a baby (so they would stop wanting me to baby them all the time, too) but knowing that she was not allowed to have any candy sure drove that message home.

comparing candy ...

come on, Mommy, just one dum dum ...
