Halloween 2009

So, first things first, we did make it to the Pumpkin Patch this year, but the kids were not particularly in the mood to have their pictures taken. These two are the best ones we got, and yes that is my hair blowing in Lily's face.

This picture is from the Fall Festival at church. Luke had a fabulous time but we were too busy playing to take many pictures. I did like this one of a happy ladybug though.

And here is my pride and joy - Luke in his Man with the Yellow Hat costume. I spent many, many hours working on this and I am so happy with how it turned out. Luke loved seeing himself in the mirror and he especially loved wearing the galoshes. In retrospect I would have made the hat lighter because it didn't really stay on all that well, but otherwise my first costume making experience was a success!

Me with my two sweet babies just before trick or treating!

And last but not least, a goofy shot of Lily with her animal crackers. Not sure why, but EVERY time she got ahold of this bag of animal crackers, she put the bag in her mouth and took off. I have numerous pictures of her roaming the house, animal crackers clenched betweeen her little teeth. She makes me smile!
