HERE COMES THE HOLIDAYS

Halloween Fun...

this halloween fell on a tuesday. I think we need to create a law that requires Halloween to fall on a Saturday each year...it would be a tremendous life saver! Anyhoo, this year's Halloween caused another dilemma - play practice at the high school. So, we had to be creative this year so Sophia could go trick-or-treating before play practice. The high school students were super sweet and set up a mock trick-or-treating session on the stage.

sophia wanted to be a cat this year for halloween 

meow!  

grumpy cat 

livia wanted to be michael jackson this year for halloween...however, we were unable to find her a michael jackson costume. I had a "50's" costume, so she decided it would be "okay" this year as long as she could go trick-or-treating again next year - right, Bobby? ;)

livia decided that since I supplied most of her costume, she wanted to purchase fake eyelashes.

halloween at our new house - we did not anticipate all of the trick or treaters in our neighborhood, so livia started giving away her own candy in the evening. Finally we had to turn off the lights because Livia would have run out of candy. We will be ready next year!

happy halloween
