Halloween Fun

The monkey had skirt to wear but Jeff said monkey's don't wear skirts.












Just as I was getting on a roll on keeping the blog updated I am now behind again. I had to work part of last weekend and then with trick or treating last weekend too, I just haven't had the time. Emily did have her first night away from home on Friday night. She came with me to work and stayed with me and Jack and Mia and slept great. She didn't miss her crib at all. Stephanie had a fun Halloween and was able to go trick or treating twice. She knows about candy and chocolate now but she has the most fun putting her candy from one bag into another. Occasionally she will ask to open a piece that she has but if you tell her "no, put that in your pumpkin", she will. no questions asked. Stephanie had 2 costumes for Halloween this year. Mia had bought her a pumpkin costume and she looked adorable in it (and thankfully it was warm enough to wear it this year). Then my mom made a monkey costume for her too. It was a lot of work for her to make that and Emily's teddy bear costume since she had just gotten back from Williamsburg 12 days earlier. So it was very much appreicated. Thank you mom!! As much as my mom wasn't sure about the monkey costume it was perfect for Stephanie. She is my little monkey and looked so cute in it. They also went for their first picture together on Sunday and it went alright. The photographer was able to get 2 of them together before Stephanie realized she as next to Emily. Their individual ones turned out great though.
