{Halloween 2011}

This Halloween was rather easy for me.
About 6 weeks ago while browsing the costume racks at D.I. I spotted a bumble bee outfit for Taylor and there wasn't any convincing her to where it for Halloween. Score!
All I had to buy was the tights, wings & headband. I guess I bought a black long sleeve shirt to go under too :)

Then about 2 weeks later Parker told me he wanted to wear his monkey costume that we have owned for about a year now (picked up at a yard sale!) No convincing me!

Costumes done. :)



On Halloween day I made the kids a little 'spooky' lunch. Parker thought it was hilarious when I was putting the 'teeth' into his apples.

I don't think he really realized that the white 'noodle brains' were actually string cheese. His reaction to Taylor:


We went to our ward trunk or treat then to our good friends house to have homemade donuts and let the kids run around. I was a bad manager of time early in the afternoon.......
A nap for me & the kids trumped hauling the kids around to family before the trunk or treat. I blame it on being 9 months pregnant. :)
Regardless the kids that Halloween was awesome.
Taylor did inform me during the trunk or treat that I needed to make her & Parker bigger trick or treat bags for next year because her bucket filled up way too soon.......

Lion Vs. Monkey

Look out Lion Boy.....

Monkey Boy is in the house....

Or we could possibly have both in the house at the same time.....

Either way: Monkey or Lion it's not complete without a little blue blanket.

(I couldn't pass up the monkey outfit at a yard sale for $5. It was his size and it's his way of playing dress up. Plus Halloween costume for Parker? Check.)

Sunday Best

On Sunday Parker wore the cutest little Sweater vest outfit that I HAD to take a picture.


He absolutely refused to smile so this is the best I could get!

I also officially decided to grow Taylor's bangs out and so I am constantly trying to figure out new styles that involve them being pulled back and out of her eyes. On Sunday I flipped the ends out on her hair and thought she looked adorable.

She didn't want her cuteness pictured....

Dress Up

My sister Gina (the one in Canada) found this fairy costume for Taylor right after Halloween last year. We both forgot to get it safely packed into my suitcase before leaving Canada so she mailed it to us. We got it the other day so before putting it away until October we tried it on. It's a little big, but Taylor loved running around in it! She was being so funny with the wand too. She would go and swing it as hard as she could and yell "BAH!" It's funny because I have never waved the wand around her like that so she must have quite the imagination! :)
