As I said previously, we’ve had a few crazy weeks, and Halloween was no exception. I had all these great intentions of getting home early, dressing the kids up, taking some terrific photos, them toddling up the stairs to all the neighbors’ houses, etc. It didn’t turn out quite like that, but it was still fun, just like last year.
I ended up working later than expected and then when Eric and I attempted to rush home, we got stuck in traffic with all the other parents rushing home. When we finally arrived at the house, it was late, so we zoomed through dinner and costume changing. As you can see, Fletch was fine with it.
But this did.not.make.Piper.happy. I do believe that’s the stink eye that she’s giving me.
After everyone got in their costumes, we attempted a photo shoot on the front steps. Trying to wrangle two toddlers who only want to eat leaves and who haven’t quite learned how to walk is a lot like herding cats but cuter (because you know how I feel about cats).
After realizing we weren’t going to get the perfect picture on the front steps, we ToTed to a few neighbors’ houses. We live in such a great neighborhood and have wonderful neighbors.
Thinking that maybe a change of scene might encourage some better pictures, we tried to get some photos on the curb in front of our house. This only resulted in Piper trying to toddle away into the darkness and Fletch sitting on the street like a little lost boy.
Finally, we went and collected a few more pieces of candy. Piper picked out a KitKat because that girl loves anything in an orange/red/yellow wrapper.
While the evening wasn’t perfect, we still had fun, and Piper and Fletch were adorable.
