Ummm... about Halloween....

We had every intention to get the babies dressed up for their first official Halloween. We had a stellar idea (Neapolitan ice cream) courtesy of their Aunt Jane, and most of the clothing assembled...

And then we were struck with another cold. Evelyn and I got it last night, and the boys started theirs over the weekend. We knew Evelyn was next because she was up needing comfort and rocking until past 3 am this morning. Needless to say, Edward and I are a little more tired than usual today. Happily, Nana was here as she is 6 out of 7 days of the week to help us out, and Opa also came by to lend a hand. We were really proactive with Colin's asthma medications, so hopefully it will spare us another trip to the hospital should the cold migrate to his chest.

We (ie. Edward) did carve a pumpkin and we did give out treats to over 40 kids, so it wasn't a total write-off. Evelyn thoroughly enjoyed catching a glimpse of a few ghosts and goblins at the front door, and they ALL got a huge kick out of Daddy's mustachioed masterpiece:



Although we are happy to share pictures of my adorable niece (Siobhan) and nephew (Liam), taken last night in Edmonton. According to my sister, they loved trick-or-treating, although Siobhan couldn't quite figure out why they were getting goodies from people's houses. Not like she was complaining!

Liam (3 years old) as Buzz Lightyear - he was so excited about his costume that he couldn't eat his dinner!


Siobhan (16 months old) as a Fairy Princess

We'll try again next year!
