Halloween 2011

First, let me say that I am very behind in my blogging. Grandmas Di & Peg visited last week, and the babies turned 19 months old, and our new nanny started two months ago, and I haven't blogged about any of it! I will take care of Halloween first, and then I'll get back on track the rest of this week.

We spent most of the day at home, hanging out in our pre-costume Halloween-themed outfits.

Oh the drama!


His shirt says "here comes trouble"






Late this afternoon we took the crew to UVa's Trick or Treating on the Lawn. It's a big community event each year. My parents came with us, which was helpful for wrangling our wayward fairies and dragon. (thanks to Grandma Di for the costumes!)

Trick or Treating!






Oh no - not enough candy!


Snack break!






Playing in the leaves






It all went much better than last year (when they screamed whenever anyone looked at them). They had a good time wandering around and looking at all the costumes (a duck! a dog! big bird! a cat!), and we snagged a little bit of candy. We also ran into lots of friends and their kids. And the best part was, they were exhausted and went to bed without any trouble tonight!
