Dogs and Cats at Carnival

Jill and Cooper were a cat and dog for Halloween this year. They both seemed to have a lot of fun with their costumes. We did quite a few Halloween events this year, as usual. We kicked it all off by going to a carnival thrown by a group from Tuck's school.

Coop is still working on the smiling on command thing.

Jill loved her tail and her "make up."

She has always enjoyed posing.

We'll take what we can get for poses here.

I think Cooper won like 3 cupcakes here.

Sweet Kids. Happy Halloween!

Halloween Weekend

The weekend before Halloween was full of excitement for us. I had to throw together costumes kind of last minute. I had been dreaming of cute family coordinated outfits. i had all sorts of ideas but of course didn't get around to any of them. It wouldn't have really mattered anyways because at the last minute Jill refused to be anything other than a witch. I did not have the energy or time to put together anything for her so luckily we found costumes at Walmart and Toys r us at discount. Turns out sometimes it pays to be a slacker.

Jill was a witch and Cooper was a monster. At least that is what the label said. People were calling him all sorts of other things. We kicked off the weekend having a Halloween Party at Jill's preschool. Then trunk or treat at church.

Then Jill had two birthday parties from kids at her pre-school. One was at a horse stable. The other was at the little gym. Both were a huge hit. We also went to Boo at the Zoo but I did not get any pictures.

Jill, as tradition goes, trick or treated with Livvy and Violet Perkins. Some people called Cooper a drunk lizard when he was all delirous in his stroller.

Our pumpkin this year was kind of lack-luster... Jill insisted we just do a "mad face" pumpkin. I think we captured the mad.
