Happy Halloween

The girls are very excited about Halloween. We had a dress rehersal last weekend at their friend Mia's Hallowen Party. Tinkerbelle (Linda) and Ariel (Elizabeth) we very excited to finally put on the costumes that were hanging in their closets for weeks. I do have some movies and photos from last week's party that I will get around to posting, and I'll get some images from Halloween posted as soon as I can.

Happy Halloween!

Moments before I was about to leave the house this morning I heard the distinct pitter patter of Linda's footsteps on the hardwood floors. She had woken up early and was making her way from her bedroom to the bathroom for an early morning tinkle. I snuck out of my bedroom just in time to see my 3 year old buck naked with her arms spread in the "pick me up" pose. After a few "what happened to you pajamas" type questions I realized that she couldn't figure out how pee without taking her one piece footie pajamas off.

After we were done in the bathroom, I wished her a Happy Halloween. She went from a mopey 1/2 asleep zombie to a full on tweaking junkie in about .5 seconds. "CANDY, HALLOWEEN, TRICK OR TREATING..." She almost didn't even have time to finish the first word as the next was ready to jump out of her mouth.

This should prove to be a fun day. The Phillies victory parade is today so there should be about a million and a half extra people in the city in a few hours. I am going to try and leave work early to see some of the celebration and then pick Linda up a bit early. Terry and Elizabeth promised to be home a bit early also so that we can enjoy the Trick or Treating a bit.

LOTS of new pictures to see on the Flickr page.

Halloween Costumes

Superwife answers the question, "What are the girls going to be for Halloween?"

Elizabeth is going to be Princess Leia since our trip to Puerto Rico really limited the use Linda was able to get out of it. Of course we haven't found it yet (I think it's in the back bedroom closet) or tried it on. But Henry and Ellie are having their annual Halloween party, so we've got to get it together by Saturday afternoon. I'm thinking of picking up some Yoda ears and brining Elizabeth to my office as my prop for our costume contest on Halloween. I bet she'd love to hold Steve's toy light saber.

Linda has requested a brown puppy costume with a purple leash. I've purchased the fabric (a nice chocolate velvet as I couldn't find any brown felt with much tooth in my 20 minutes on fabric row), but I'm still waiting for the patter to arrive (actually the pattern is for a leopard, cat, bunny, and bear, but I figure I can just adjust the bunny ears to be more rounded and use the cat/leopard tail). I guess if it's not here by tomorrow, I'm going to have to use some of Steve's trace paper and make my own pattern. Good help Linda! She wants Steve or I to be a "dog catcher" (now keep in mind she has no idea what a dog catcher actually does) and walk her on Halloween night. She better not crawl around on the sidewalk in that velvet costume if I ever get it made.

We'll take pictures on Saturday and post them (hopefully).
