Comparo: Halloween Costume

Comparison of our kiddos at the same age, same place.

Snow White and the 2 Dwarves. With special guest,"Lion."

"Really. When she looks back on the effort you spent in making her the Snow White costume, she'll be so thankful that you did. You will, too."

I'd like to think my words of encouragement helped motivate her into finishing the Snow White costume, but really, it was Tracy's desire to see her little girl in a hand crafted princess outfit. Thus far Anna has been a Lady Bug, a Bee, and now a fictitious Disney princess with an affinity for small woodland man-creatures. With each, we have distinct memories, but this year would be different because of how aware she is of things, and (lets be frank) this year she'll actually eat the candy.

"As for Russell, just throw him in whatever fits. He wont care. He's a boy."

The first of the weekend's activities was going to our church's Harvest Party. If you haven't been to one or would like to attend our's some time, you should! A Trick-or-Treat alternative with lots of games, activities, bounce houses, food, and candy. Russell preferred riding on mommy's back instead of being in his warm Lion outfit.

Anna with some friends. (Love the matching black eye with the boxing outfit)

Snow White and the 2 Dwarves + Russell

By far, one of Anna's favorite carnival activities: The Bounce House!

Surprisingly, she didn't eat the whole thing.

We went for a run today and the kiddos managed to be nice to each other. We were pleasantly surprised to find they were asleep when we got home!
