HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween!

It's so much fun!

We had a great time

With Thing2 and Thing1!

 Our cousin, Brady, was The Cat in The Hat.  So of course, we had to take some photos.  As he hugged them for the pic he said, "Come here, my little helpers!" 

 Reagan's BFF from school, Amory.  Little 50's diner waitress!

 Outside at the carnival, they had this long, bouncy, obstacle race thing.  Reagan eagerly hopped in line, and I wasn't real sure how it was gonna go over... she was the smallest kid doing it.

 And this is at the very end... climbing the wall to slide down.  Notice, she is totally kicking the hiney of that other big boy she raced against.  Now, OF COURSE it is not all about winning... but wow. :)

 BIG HUGS for Melissa.  Brooklyn LOOOOOOVES Melissa.  :)  I'm sure Melissa equally loved getting up close and personal with Brooklyn's cotton candy mouth...

 One of Brooklyn's other favorite people ever... her teacher, Mrs. Allison.  She would gladly trade me in for either of these ladies, for sure.  :)

 This was the Mad Scientist show at the carnival.  B was a little freaked out at first, so I was talking her into how "silly" it was.  I personally love Reagan and Brady in the top left... Brady thinks it's hilarious and Reagan is trying not to freak out.  :)

 This was Thursday at preschool for their party and costume parade.  Brooklyn was WOWed by Nathaniel's Thomas costume, and Nathaniel didn't really recognize Brooklyn at all.  :)

 I loved just seeing her at play in her classroom!

 My baby girl and me.

 I put this one not because it is a great picture, per se, but because a few months ago Brooklyn could not sit herself in a chair like this!  Now, no sweat.  Again, TAKE THAT Spina Bifida!

 Getting ready to decorate pumpkins.

 Yummy SPOOKY breakfast food!

 Her sweet friends Batgirl and Leo.  :)

 Goober.

 Best shot of Brooklyn EVER.

There, that's better.

 Her brave teacher gave her glitter...

 This one makes me happy because of the look of PURE JOY and AWE Brooklyn has for Mrs. Allison.

 Her class!  Minus one girl that was sick....  Brooklyn LOVED the Leo costume the most.  Still talking about it.

 Brook's other teacher extraordinaire... Mrs. Kristen.  Whose head I accidentally cut off in this picture..... sorry!

 Natalie and Nathaniel in the parade

 Check out Brook's excitement over this trick or treat stop in the parade!

Yesterday while R was at school, Brooklyn got her turn to paint a pumpkin.  She still shows ambidexterity... not sure which hand will prevail.

 She was SO into her painting.  Kept telling me "I gonna paint circles round and round and round, K?!"  But the entire thing was covered in these lines when finished... so pretty.  :)

 Trick or Treating!

Ran out of blue spray, so we just went with the feathers.  Made for MUCH easier clean up last night... bonus.  Good times for this Momma: one of the men that came to the door with candy asked them to wait so he could get his wife to come see how cute they were.  :)

 Caught Reagan mid BUST on these steps!  :) :) :)  She was fine.

 Brooklyn didn't bust... they were just too steep with no rail to hold, so crawling up was necessary.  Who woulda thought my little SB kiddo would be climbing steps to front porches and trick or treating at 2 years old?!  God is so good.

 Pat the pumpkin before we go...

 And random... last night, B was drinking some juice while I changed her diaper and dropped the cup on her right eye.  Tried to get a pic of her first semi-black eye, but you can't really see it.  It definitely looks nice and purple today! 

Hope everyone enjoyed the festivities as much as we did!!
How in the WORLD is it November already?!
Reagan asked me this morning, "Why did October leave so fast?!"
