Sylvania Halloween (Yes, we know it's November 3rd!!)

Well, believe it or not Halloween can be cancelled and rescheduled!  Thursday was rainy and windy, enough that they picked another day for trick or treating!  So tonight was the night........plenty cold, in the 40s, but clear :)
The elusive Evie witch, not all that happy to be dressing up (again).  That and the time change means it is almost time for BED!
Nat was a little disappointed that Tinkerbell needed a coat, but it worked out okay.  Always buy big!  Evie was starting to get excited after she saw all of the other kids come up to our door.  That and I told her she could go for a ride, she loves to do that........
Well, maybe we shouldn't have tried the hat on :)
This is the first year Nat has really gone charging up to the door.  She said it was the best Halloween ever!  She did want to know why it was "like the middle of the night" since it was so dark out.
Evie was content to hang in the stroller, people had no idea if she was a girl/boy or what she was dressed up as!
Mom took the first cul de sac and came back for the trade with Dad.
We also upped Evie's wardrobe, it's cold out and her hands were like popsicles!
M&Ms should keep her warm :)
This is the haul.  Needless to say, Nat is excited to "eat hundreds of candies."
You know a baby is tired when they don't finish all their M&Ms!  All in all a great success!  Guess we are done with Halloween 2013, loved it!

Dress Up!

Okay...so Natalie participated in a closet cleanse with me tonight.  Should it scare me that some of my clothes may have looked better on her than me???
A curtsy.  Kind of.
Serious. 
Sassy!

Halloween Preview...Sort Of!

After some shopping and lots of brainstorming Natalie has gone fairy for Halloween!  She's been into the tinker bell books from the library lately.  She wanted Evie to accessorize her, so rainbow fairy it was!
Nat's outfit is equipped with dress, wings, gloves, tights, and dad wanted the necklace too!
Front view.
Back view.
Side view, she's trying not to laugh!
Evie looked like rainbow brite!
The costume said 12 to 24 months, but it was very small....
Also, the Velcro wings and headband were not going to stay on!  My favorite part were the leg warmers!  Now we know what she will tolerate.....time to take this back and try again!

Evie 15 Month

Evie had her 15th month appt this past Tuesday.  She survived her 4 shots and is growing well!  The nurse marked her as 31" (highly doubt it!) and 21# 9 oz.  She ranks 50th percentile and is just getting into her 18 month clothes.
Here we are acting goofy, both Nat and Evie were taking turns wearing the hat and climbing on the ottoman.
It's impossible to get a picture where she is looking at you and not blurry!
Sister love...
She likes to pretend to sleep on the ottoman, cracks me up!

Lazy Sunday...


Everyone gets into the art action....and for the most part Evie doesn't eat the crayons!
Tents are always a favorite.  We had lots of shrieking with this one.
She climbs on EVERYTHING!
Digging into the old Halloween costume box today.
Does this make me look boney??
Anything with a cape is fun!
Dinosaur, she liked to swing her tail...
That is one wild wig!  Still no decision on costume 2013!!
