Today was Halloween, bet you didn't already know that!
Both of the kids have the croup (sp?) and I seriously debated on even taking them out. We already had plans to hook up with Alaska and Diana (Buffalo friends) and eat pizza and trick or treat. This was Abygail's first Halloween, I know she is 19 months old tomorrow but last year the city was recovering from the October storm and it was just too dangerous to get out and trick or treat, so I decided that we had to go anyway. The kids and I went and then I had to go back and pick Jason up from work since his class didn't end until 6:30. Abygail was a duck/chicken and Jackson a pumpkin. Abygail did really well the first several houses and then she got tired. She carried her own treat bag and even said 'twik twet' towards the end. Her duck feet that I made were very cute but they kept spinning around and were backwards and then we would step on them and it would trip her so we took them off after just a few houses. Jason the kids and I went back to the house early since Jackson was coughing up a lung and Abygail was pretty much over the walking and getting candy scene.
We enjoyed the homemade pizzas and hanging out with friends. All the kids looked so cute! We even got some real doctor advice from Alaska's hubby and I got some advice from the girls about sick babies (much needed advice too, I still feel so new at this whole being a mom thing).
We didn't have our camera (It was enough to just get everyone ready and get out the door) but Alaska took some pics for us. As soon as I get those I'll update this post.
Sounds like you had such a great time. Ours sounded similar with Daisy being so tired. We almost forgot our camera too!
