Happy Halloween!

Halloween this year was an EVENT.  It was really the first time Evelyn cared at all about the holiday and we really had fun with it.  When it came time to decide on a costume, we just couldn't decide.  At first she wanted to be a princess, but I have to admit, I steered her away from that.  Ultimately she decided she wanted to be a cowgirl and that was that.  She wore the costume a total of 4 times - Boo at the Zoo, the Latonia Halloween Block Party, Trick or Treat (Columbus had theirs on Oct. 28th) and a birthday party on Halloween.  She got to dress up for school too, but she chose to be Doc McStuffins for that (we already had the costume).  Evie loved being a cowgirl.  She loved all of the accessories and she loved the makeup.  All I did was add some brown freckles with an eyeliner pencil and my girl was in heaven!  We trick or treated with some of neighborhood kids for about half a block and then Evie announced that she had enough candy and she wanted to go home. She was more than thrilled to be able to give out candy to the other kids and I can't say I minded.  As for Mitch... well our little monkey just wanted to do whatever big sister did. He was so cute in his costume and he charmed the pants off of everyone.  Then he had two lollipops and then threw a mega-fit when we wouldn't give him the entire bowl of Halloween candy.  Our kiddos sure do keep us on our toes and we love it!
