Halloween 2011

We survived Halloween!  Ha!

Today I was invited to help with Lilly's Halloween party at school.  Her class is wonderful and her teacher is sweet.  I was very impressed with the kids' behavior on such an exciting day!  Lilly dressed as 'Barbie Fairy Secret Princess' for her party.  That was her first costume of the day...

Lilly with her teacher, Ms. Francolino.

  The Barbie costume gave Lilly a rash on her arm so she moved on to costume #2 which was a 'Fairy Princess' outfit which was my favorite.  Ella was also a 'Fairy Princess' and was so very excited to dress up like her sister.  After school we went out frantically looking for a way to make the boys' hats for their costume and then went back to Bret Harte for Lilly's school parade.

 

 Today was a beautiful fall day.  We walked to school for the parade.

 Ella waited with her friend Stephen.  Stephen's dad is a police officer.  They are too adorable together.

 "Hi Lilly!!!!!"

 Andy was kind enough to take the day off so I could go to Lilly's Halloween party and the parade while the boys napped. 

Me and my girls.

 After the parade I went home to try to make the boys' hats.  Nothing like last minute costume making...

 My babies.  

Fairy Mickey Princess (costume change #3), Fairy Light Up Princess, Thing 1 and Thing 2.

 Baby boy (Thing 2/Baby B) walked yesterday!  

Here he is standing like a big boy.

 My sweet baby boys.  They kept their hats on for 3 hours.

 Luke walked up to a few houses.  He was adorable. He carried his pumpkin bucket and grabbed his blanket out of the back of the stroller.  He was so proud to get his candy.

 Two thirds of my boys.  This melts my heart.

Gabe wasn't feeling well tonight.  I love this picture because he is smiling.  He loves the dog.  Sweet baby boys and little precious Ella.  Lilly was ahead collecting more candy!

We had a terrific full day.  Happy Halloween!
