Happy Halloween

Well it wasn't our first Halloween with the babies, but it was our first where they did more than sleep. We started off the day with a visit to Mimi & Buppy's house to show off our costumes and visit with our cousins.

Maddie refused to wear her bunny ears, but didn't seem to mind Buppy's sailor hat:

Aidan was initially annoyed, but eventually became resigned to his monkey hood:

Later that afternoon we attended the neighborhood parade. Maddie & Aidan preferred to be strolled, but we fully expect them to walk it next year :) Post-parade was a pizza party. We were adventurous and decided to feed them pizza at the neighbors. It wasn't their first time having pizza, but it was our first time feeding them w/out any high chairs. Needless to say, we abandoned the endeavor mid-way (and mid-meltdown) and ran home to feed them. We have the youngest kids in the neighborhood, so I think most of the parents were watching us leave and feeling grateful that they are beyond the toddler phase!

We ended the day with some musings from Daddy about the inappropriateness of all of the princess and ballerina costumes he was seeing. Apparently Halloween costumes are supposed to be SCARY. (Pssst...Daddy, a bunny and a monkey aren't exactly the stuff of horror movies).

Anyhow, we're looking forward to next year and perhaps a bit of actual trick or treating!
