We had a great Halloween and hope that everyone else did also! Avery has wanted to be a fireman forever now...and the day finally came. She kept asking me if she could fill up the fire extinguisher though and squirt people...we never quite got around to that. I originally was going to have Finley be a butterfly...I even have the costume still, but I toyed with the Dalmatian fire dog idea and Grandma O found this dalmatian outfit...with a little doctoring, our dalmatian doggie was born...it actually turned out pretty cute though at times it was a little toasty in the Arizona heat...she really loved it. Every time she saw it in the closet she would do the doggie sign frantically and chant "dag dag". It really fits her personality more than a butterfly anyway. She's our little chief hound:)
Daddy was able to stick around and help get the girls into their costumes...
So...we mean to ween Finley of her binkey...funny thing is she wouldn't even take one for the first 6 months of her life...now I usually limit it to bedtime, but she sneaks in and takes it from her crib all the time...so here she is with it in her mouth...and then we took it out...bad idea!

After getting ready we headed out to a little Halloween carnival. It was fun, but hot...the girls just wanted to hang out and eat some snacks and then leave. We went parading around the grocery store for a bit then headed home for naps before the big evening.

That night before trick-or-treating we went to a great party at Kristian's friends house. It was really fun!! The kids got to ride a little train, there was a hay maze, a graveyard and lots of yummy food and candy of course. We let Avery eat all she wanted and boy did she have fun! Check out these great "fingers"...the party was amazing with so many fun and creative things I wish I could post it all, but I thought these captured it well.
Finley loves, loves, loves, four things...bunny of course, trains, doggies, and sticks! Anything she can carry all around that have sticks she adores. So suckers...what better stick is there? Don't worry...she didn't actually eat them...her sister on the other hand opened just about every one at the party and took a lick...

Can a person get exhausted of hearing how CUTE their kids are? I hope not, because what else can I say? They're adorable, but that basically means the same thing. Nice pictures again Sweetie.
Hey, is there a week day evening that is generally available for you? I found some more potential scrappers and I want you in.
What a fun party! I love that Avery wanted to be a fireman and Finley is such a cute dalmation. When I first saw the picture of Finley in her costume I thought it was Avery, are they starting to look more alike?
very creative. Every little girl out there is a princess for halloween, it's refreshing to see something different! I remember you guys aer strict on Avery's sugar intake, but it sounds like not so strict on haloween? Those hotdog fingers- wow, I've never seen something like that before. I'll hvae to remember them if I ever throw a halloween party.
