trick or treat

halloween was a success! Ava, Nathan, and I took my sister with us and went around her neighborhood. there were TONS of kiddos. i asked one lady if she had been keeping count and she said she had a little over 300 before having to go to the store for more candy. most people started around 6, and by 8 almost all the houses were dark. i am thinking either because it was sunday, or people simply ran out of candy!

Nathan did really well for his first Halloween. he wore his costume like a champ until he ate.. and i made the mistake of not burping him and he puked all over me. don't worry, i didnt let that stop us! a little baby puke couldn't damper our evening.

Ava had a blast and did so well. She only got scared one time, and it was at a house that had a person jump out from the bushes once people walked away. cruel, if  you ask me.

anyway-- so i have two gripes about the evening.. One, why in the world do people think it's cool to drive your car to each house and follow your kids? How incredibly lazy does one have to be? mind you, most all of these people i witnessed were obese, and had obese children. what is this country coming to, really?!? holidays are days to be SOCIAL and have FUN. get your butt out of the car and walk around... talk to your neighbors... don't be such lazy, unsocial people!!!

two, if you are a smoker, PLEASE have some manners. there is nothing i hate more than to have to walk along side a group and breath in your toxic fumes. there were multiple occasions that i had to tell the girls that we had to change directions or stop altogether for a while so that we could get away from these inconsiderate people. Sure, it is a free country and we all have rights, but i would like to reserve my right to CLEAN AIR thankyouverymuch. take your terrible, death wish of a habit elsewhere where you wont be around children.

man.. i really dont mean to be so negative, but really!?? anyway, here are some photos. It was not the easiest task to take worthwhile shots while keeping my eyes on 2 crazy little girls as well as take care of a baby who was not interested in sleeping!



and, can i just say that my daughter is growing up WAY TOO QUICKLY???!
