Happy 1st Halloween!

This is when I can see Lily in Reese. Right? This is Reese.
No, Lily is not doing her impression of a dead ladybug. She just wouldn't wake up. And check out the ghost in the graveyard pumpkin (left) and the pirate ship pumpkin (right). We both have a bad case of carpel tunnel syndrome now.
Apparently, Lily loves Butterfingers.
Happy Bug. Check out the teeth. Hello Milltown! Come to our house and check me out.

We were worried. We had some big plans for Halloween for the ladies and for most of the day they were just the CRANKIEST. That was until we pulled up to Kindercare for thier Halloween Parade. It wasn't their day to go there, but we figured we would bring them in to see all of thier friends and they just had a blast. In fact I think it was the first time all day they both smiled. Well other than when we put them in thier costumes. When they were all both dressed up there was a minute where they looked at each other and started laughing. Like, oh my god, what did they dress you up in? Me, what did they put YOU in? Are they crazy? It was downright adorable.

So then we came home, after they got to march in the parade, and we sat on the front steps like lots of other Milltowners. Its funny, lots of the people sit on thier steps waiting for the trick-or-treaters. Then when there is a lul, the neighbors go next-door and chit chat and then wait for the next swarm of kids. And when I say there are swarms, there are huge swarms. Every year we end up with only a couple of pieces of candy left. And this year we had 15+ pounds of candy, plus some skull rings, tombstone and eyeball erasers, plastic spiders, and oh yeah, halloween stickers (I try to do a nice spread for the kiddies).

Ok, back to the babies. So we are sitting on the steps and they are just waiting for the kids to come. Everytime some kids come, the kids come over to them and say things like, wow, you have TWO BABIES, and pat their heads and stuff like that. Then there was the little girl that said, Two Babies is too Much! Ha, if she only knew. So at some point I suggest we give them some downtime and try to feed them. The problem? Well everytime they see me or Rich go to the front door for trick-or-treaters, they follow us, like, HEY, I want to see the kids too! So we had to just keep them on the porch so they could squeal everytime some kids came by. It was pretty cute.

Needless to say, we think they had a blast on their first Halloween. Even though we missed the library party, I think they didn't feel like they missed out.
