Halloween 2008

Halloween was a success, that's for sure. The girls had a lot of different occasions to wear their costumes. On Thursday, we went to see Aunt Jackie and then went to Aunt Jodi's house. There are neighbors at Jodi's who we always go "Trick or Treat". They really like the girls, and it's turned into a sort of "tradition" now. We also went over to their daughters house. We had never been over there before. As we are standing in the entry, Allie looks at Jill and says, "Um Jill, where is your kitchen?" Just out of the blue. Why??!! So funny. Then on the way back to Jodi's as she stepped on the manhole covers, she would stop and say, "Oh, a placemat." She is one random little girl. Taylor was quite the hit with her "wig", which was almost as big as her. Halloween night was a blast! Our neighborhood was wall-to-wall kids. Incredible! We went out, hit a bunch of houses and came back and unloaded the buckets to go back out again. Allie decided to stay home and pass out candy with dad. After some kids came to the door and she gave them candy, she closed the door and goes, "wow, what a rush." Even Taylor laughed. Silly, silly. They were VERY tired and ready for bed. It was 10:30 before all was quiet. Then, lucky for us, about 4 a.m. Taylor came in our room and said she's ready to get up - she wasn't tired anymore. Whoa....I beg to differ! Chad brought her back to her room and they had a little "discussion" and it wasn't long before she was sleeping. Whew...until 8:15 a.m. Awesome for us!!
