Alice in Wonderland is the new favorite in our household. I could recite it by heart when I was a kid and now I do it as a mom. Oh how time flies!
We have been extremely busy the past few days. Oh I wish I could post the pictures from trick or treating on here. My camera got lost while we were out and about, so I am in the process of filing an insurance claim. Ugh, what a mess. We had a blast! There is a neighborhood in Old Louisville that goes ALL OUT for Halloween. Decorations galore and is always packed with trick or treaters. Why we chose to go there this year, I am not really very sure. We are hectic as a group to begin with...add hundreds of thousands of people all around us, and it is chaos. We managed to come home with all 4 kids (whew!) and candy to last us the rest of the year. Ken (yes, I have adjusted the settings on privacy that I feel comfortable with names now again) and I went as Zach and Kelly from Saved By the Bell. Our friends Matt and Michael have been together for 15 years and celebrated their anniversary with us by going trick or treating with the kiddos. They went as Mac and PC and got soooo many laughs! Too cute!
Gia went as Alice from Alice in Wonderland (of course), complete with the dress and black bow. Everything. Was so cute! Jackson went as a baseball player. His new favorite is watching TV with daddy and his eyes get really big when he watches baseball and the bat cracks with a hit. So funny! PS. We hate the Yankees in this household, so for some Phillies fans out there...GO PHILLIES!
Noah and Violet went as 2 pea pods. 2 peas in a pod kind of idea. They were darling, and the 4 of them flirted with every single person that came up to oooo and ahhh at them. It was a lot of fun. Maybe I will try and keep all the kiddos awake for a session in their costumes. It just seems wrong to dress them up after Halloween in them. Is that weird?
On Saturday, we hired a sitter and had Katie on call and Ken and I went to a real grown up function with alcohol and everything. Been a long time. I certainly felt a little out of my league. This time, I put on the tightest corset I could find and a pencil skirt with some fish nets and some big time costume jewelery and went as a 40's pin up girl, and Ken went as a mobster. It's funny, because last year, when we went, people were there until 4 in the morning. This year, everyone started leaving about midnight. Oh how things change in a year and it was certainly comforting to see that we aren't the only parents who don't have any stamina left after 9 pm.
Gia had a Halloween parade at preschool and all the mom's walked around the playground holding their hands to model their costumes. Cute idea. I felt kind of ridiculous, but Gia was hamming it up, so it was totally worth it.
I hear some fussing from the twins room. Should prolly hit the sack here soon myself. Hope everyone had a safe Halloween weekend!
