Halloween 2012

Daniel wanted to be a fireman for Halloween this year.  He announced this decision in August, but I failed to get a costume put together until the day we went trick-or-treating.  However, there are some great ideas on the internet and I headed to the store to pick up some supplies.  After about two hours of work I was able to give him a pretty cool fireman coat.  I paired it with a helmet, rain boots, and black sweatpants to finish it off.  He loved it. 

 

Ellen had several costume choices but kept selecting Cinderella.  So, smiling all the way, Ellen dressed up as Cinderella.

We went trick-or-treating in a new home development about 1.5 miles from our home.  Our friends the Vizzos invited us to come to their neighborhood.  Their daughter Addison and her neighbor Brandon are the same age as Daniel.  Everyone had a great time.  Ellen really figured out what to do after the first home and wanted to go up to each home and get her candy too.  We all had a great time with the kids.

Kermit the Hermit Crab

This little guy was a present for Daniel from Grammie and Grampie's trip to the beach.  He's actually quite entertaining!  Daniel calls him a kermit crab.  So cute!

Safety Kids

We found these items at our home tonight and played "Poppy".

Innately a Girl

 Ellen is innately a girl.  She found this lunch bag last week and started cruising around the kitchen with it draped from her arm like a purse.  She also loves to put shoes on, not just her own.  Very cute.

Wall-E

I found this shirt for Daniel at a recent children's resale event.  Too bad we didn't have it for his party!

Little Lady

We purchased new Adirondack chairs for the family to use in the backyard.  There are two small ones for the kids and two large ones for Mom and Dad.  Both Daniel and Ellen love to have their own chairs just their size.  Here is Ellen enjoying her chair like a little lady.
