Halloween Debrief...

Dave and I could not find our battery camera charger - and the camera was dead. Therefore, we could not download any photos - and that led to no blogging. So, everything is back to normal... and here is our Halloween update...

So, the girls are nearly 2.5 and man do they love trick-or-treating. They walked their little hearts out and had an absolute blast getting all the candy their hearts could desire. Of course being the cruel parents we are they were not allowed to eat 99% of it - and that all went to Dave's work.

Erin was a ladybug and Evelyn was a bumble bee. Erin really wanted to be a butterfly, but I could not find a costumer. She seemed pretty content to be a ladybug. Ev would not wear her costume for a long time and then got into it. They both wore their antennas the entire time!!

In our neighborhood we get about 450 trick-or-treaters. Yes, 450 - they come from near and far. The street is blanketed with mini-vans and the kids are everywhere. It is a really fun holiday and we are so lucky to have this experience to share with our kids. The girls were lucky to play with our little neighbor Jack. We don't see him much lately because it got so cold! But, Halloween was close to 70 - which is unheard of in Chicago!
