Halloween

Andrew eating - and wearing- his food

So let's get started on catching up over the last two weeks.

On Thursday October 29th Evyn got to wear her Halloween costume to dance class.
Here she is, modeling her new fairy tutu, wings, and ankle cuffs (made by her Mom!).





After that trial run she was ready for the real deal - Trick or Treating with cousins Emily and Elisabeth on Friday night.






Andrew didn't dress up for his first Halloween. He did get a treat, though- fresh mashed banana!
Here he is sitting in his cozy Totseat:



Halloween wasn't all about the kids. The grown-ups enjoyed awesome cheesesteak sandwiches and lots of other good food at the C.'s house.




Grandma and Grandpa watched Andrew while Julie caught up with the Trick-or-Treaters:





Along the way we saw this clever use for old plastic gallon drink jugs (sorry for the bad picture quality!).
I took a picture so we could steal the idea and remember to give it a try here at our house next year.

We got home too tired for bath, so some of the fairy makeup went to bed with Evyn that night.
She wasn't too tired to count her loot, though!

on strike

Andrew has been on a nap strike for the last week or so. He is doing great at night, though, so I am hoping it will balance out soon. In the meantime, I am not finding moments with two hands free to sort through our pictures and compose a decent update post. Keep your fingers crossed, maybe today will be the day that he decides to nap!

out to lunch

Up until Evyn started kindergarten, we would often go out for lunch, usually just the two of us. We don't get to do that very often anymore, so last weekend the four of us went to Applebee's.



Andrew loves shoes. Any kind of shoes. I've found him chomping on Evyn's muddy Croc's more than once. Where there is a will, there's a way....
