It's Halloween

It's Halloween again, and the kids had a blast. They almost didn't though. It rained today...it rained a lot today. To the point that I wasn't sure that I was trusting enough of my car to drive them out for trick or treat. Luckily, it slowed down and we rushed out the door and headed off to the mall. One of the few that were actually open for trick or treat. A bunch of the malls here decided this year that, and I quote, "Due to the current climate, it seems inadvisable to hold this kind of celebration this year?" WTF??? Kind of weird if you ask me. Anyway...onward.

Eily was really into the whole idea of Halloween this year...she's been thinking about her costume for months and she wanted to be...Princess Aurora (that's Sleeping Beauty to those of you that haven't watched that movie a thousand times in the last year...)...for Cavan, we broke out Eilish's old Nemo costume. It just seemed appropriate that they both wear it.

And now...on with the pics...

Daddy's little Princess...

Cavy's first Halloween Candy...ever.

Eily grows up a little bit more...

First things first...

I attempted to turn Dancing Eily into a weekly feature...until the evil dance instructor said no-no to the picture taking. So sorry, I tried...but I can't. Oh well...

Anyway...after months and months (and months...and email requests...and Better Business Bureau complaints, etc.) of waiting Eilish finally got her all new big girl bed!!!! (She actually got a whole bedroom set, but the dresser and nightstand got here 8 weeks ago...mattress too...it's been living in my closet...ugh.)

Anyway, she was utterly and completly thrilled and even helped Dad put it together. Below are some pictures of just how much she loved it.
