Halloween!!

Hi everybody,
Another Halloween, come and gone. Papa sewed costumes for the girls this year: you can see that Miss Julia is a cheerleader, and Miss Mary is a homecoming football. We (she) trick-or-treated for a whole hour this year, and rah-rah-sis-boom-bah Julia made quite the killin. I forgot how much candy you can acquire in such a short time on Halloween. We had to dump her bag of candy into our pillowcase every twenty minutes because the candy was too heavy for her. After one short hour of trick-or-treating, Julia's toddler-time patience expired and she made her Grandma Beth carry her home. It wasn't all for naught, however....Papa, Grandma, and I had our Just Rewards....after Miss Julia went to bed, we made a raid on her loot.

Julia poses with Aidan and Sawyer, the Twinkies baseball hunks...

Julia expresses her displeasure. She was NOT interested in snapping a cutesy little pumpkin guts photo this year. This Halloween stuff is serious business! Why are we still in the house at 5:00?!?!?!?!? We should already be trick or treating!

Here, Julia is modeling her cameo "HAlloween Delightful Toddler's DIsposition..." (HAD IT). She was practicing for her future as a head cheerleader...and we were her tardy squad members. It was now 5:05 and we STILL hadn't left for trick-or-treating....
