HALLOWEEN

Lex was so small last year that she didn't get to go trick or treating. In fact, she hated her costume so much that all she did was cry, and she never even made it out of the house. For a walk down memory lane, check out the archive on the right. This year was a whole other story!! Em showed her baby sister the ropes and Lex caught on very quickly. Run to house, climb up stairs, ring doorbell, wait, get candy. And while this wasn't entirely planned, you'll notice from the pics that we managed to have an insect theme for our costumes this year. Em was a bumble bee and Lex was a lady bug. Sure beats the rodent theme we somehow stumbled upon last year (yup, check archive - Em was Mickey Mouse and Lex was a skunk, lol).

Em has already hit our stash of candy and we haven't even left the house yet!

Em goes in for a kiss and Lex wails.

Look at Lex leading the crowd; you'd think she'd done this before!

When your legs aren't long enough, you get to that candy any way you can.

I'm pretty sure they would have just walked in the house to get it if the screen door weren't closed.

"I worked for it so I am entitled to another piece. Don't make me make my sister sting you."

Riley had a costume too but with the power outage and all the chaos, it just never made it on. He was going to be the sheriff of this wild town of insects.

It's ok Em, Halloween will come around again next year too. Now let's go watch "Dorothy Movie," aka the Wizard of Oz, at Wessy Wes' house.
