Trick or Treat...

Another Halloween has come and gone. It is always amazing to me how much energy goes into planning for Halloween vs. the amount of time spent actually enjoying Halloween. Jon took all three kids out trick-or-treating this year. Emmy seemed to really enjoy herself. Of course, after the first few houses she came back home to help me hand out candy. We had a few more visitors this year, but not enough to make me happy. One would think that since we live in a neighborhood full of young families, we would see a lot of kids, but we do not. Jon has told me that the middle of the neighborhood is much more active, but I am not sure I believe him. I guess I should give him the benefit of the doubt.

I have to say, this is the first year I have been jealous of Jon being out with the kids. Normally I love to stay at home and hand out candy, but this year I found myself longing to be out with the rest of the family. Maybe next year I will just turn out the lights and enjoy the festivities (of course I won't because I would feel guilty the entire night and not enjoy myself at all).

Without further ado, the reason you all visit this blog, our beautiful children.

Isobel was a Mod Girl. It was much more difficult to get the eye liner on then I expected. She really didn't like having it applied, of course she didn't like the way it looked after it was on either. Jon had to bribe her to take off her sunglasses after it got dark with a glow stick. I think she looked fantastic.

It was difficult to find a costume for Eli this year. He really wanted to be a Super Spy (just like Pablo), but it is not easy to find a white tux jacket for a 3 year old. So, Jon took him to the Halloween store and he came back as a Storm Trooper. He was happy, so we were happy. Emmy was one of the cutest butterflies I have ever seen (Isobel being the other)...
