HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

To say that Halloween was busy would be the understatement of the year...but we all had so much fun. Carving pumpkins, getting dressed up and scouring the neighborhood for candy are just a few things we did. Siena was her usual 'ham' self and would say 'trick or treat' in her most adorable voice. She'd wait patiently for the neighbors to fawn over her fairy costume and slowly lower their candy basket to within her reach. They never saw her coming...the flash of her hand grabbing as much candy as her tiny fist could muster, stuffing it into her overflowing candy basket, and saying thank you before the surprise had registered on their faces.

She was a pro.

We are so proud.

Poor Jack was just along for the ride. He rode around in his stroller, drinking his milk, and completely oblivious to the fact that we were riding around the neighborhood at an unusual hour. He stayed his normal, happy self for most of the way (until we ran out of milk...and I smashed his little hand in the stroller by accident...that could've had a *little* something to do with it... oops). We let him run around the streets and chased after him...his favorite game...so he was a happy little hotdog in no time ;-)

It was a great day and night. Check out the pics of our little fairy and hotdog ;-)

Halloween Cookies

While Daddy and Jack were in MA, Siena and I decided to be festive and make Halloween cookies. Here are some pictures from that day ;-)

Pumpkin Pickin'

We had a great time at the pumkpin farm this year! They had tons of things to do and the rain held off all morning until we left. It was perfect ;-) Check out the slide show to see all the fun that was had. Remember you can double click to see it larger in picasa photo's.

Jackson's 2nd week and HALLOWEEN!!

We have had lots going on in the last couple of weeks! Jackson is starting to fatten up ;-), we took Siena to the park for some alone 'big sister' time, we've had lots of visitors, AND it was Halloween today. As you all know, I have taken far too many pictures of this occasion (and every other) so proceed to the slide show with lots of time and patience!

So this was Siena's first Halloween where she got to go door to door and beg for candy. At first she was skeptical...not really wanting to say anything. As soon as she recieved her first piece of candy she was hooked. "House?" she would ask so we would take her to the next stop. "Treat!!" she would say to get her treats. As soon as the candy bowl was offered Siena would, at first, take only a piece, but by the last houses she would shove her hand in the bowl and grab as many pieces as her tiny fist would hold. She then would say a polite "thank you" and then "BYE!" We would be off and sprinting to the next house in the next second. It was really fun to watch and I do believe this was my favorite Halloween of all time. My new little man, who we dressed as a monkey, is here and my adorable little girl is growing up.

Time is flying! Enjoy the pictures and remember you can double click to view pictures larger.
