Halloween 2012

First a few non-Halloween photos...

Finley is loving puzzles these days, especially this one because he's a big fan of fire trucks.

When Elise was born, her eyes were kind of a muddled navy blue.  Finley's had been pure navy blue before turning blue, so we thought maybe Elise would have brown.  But in the past few weeks, as the jaundice is slowly going away, Elise's eyes are looking more of a pure navy like Finley's.  So now we don't have any guesses!  Only time will tell.

 Look at all that hair!  


Getting in some "tummy time" and practicing lifting her head.

The beginning stage of trying to roll over.  

Pumpkin carving time for Finley!  He wasn't too sure about putting his hand inside...


The final product.

For Halloween, we had a potluck on the playground at the school with lots of other faculty and their kids.  Afterwards, the kids went trick-or-treating at the apartments above the school.

Our own little Peter Pan.

With his friend Jake/Superman.

The whole gang.

Kind of difficult to get a photo of this many excited little trick-or-treaters.

This was Finley's first year trick-or-treating, so we taught him how to knock on the door, say "trick-or-treat", take one piece of candy, and then say "thank you".  He loved it.

Mommy & Daddy's first time trick-or-treating at a high-rise.  Advantage: you burn calories walking up and down all the stairs so you can eat more candy!

Candy at Auntie Vero's house.

Winner of the best costume (at least in our opinion): adorable 1-year-old Joshua and his ice cream stand, made out of his push toy.  Yeah, I didn't have the time or brain power to be this creative!

The great thing about trick-or-treating with a toddler is that Finley completely forgot about his candy stash by the next day, so guess who's enjoying it now...  :)
