Happy Halloween!

It's the day after Halloween, and Ella is finally coming down from a sugar high...thank goodness! The Gooch is still too young for candy, but that didn't stop him from trying to mooch stuff from his big sister or his cousins...

Halloween morning started ok, Ella was dressed as a witch (sorry, correction, a "scary, scary witch"--her words) and we were on our way to the preschool Halloween party. On the way, Ella mentions that she fine to be a "scary, scary witch" for this morning, but as for trick-or-treating, she has now decided she wants to be a dinosaur. SAY WHAT? Since when? She's been set on this "scary, scary witch" idea for almost two months. Great, where in heaven's name am I gonna find a dinosaur costume on Halloween? Ella pipes in here "Don't worry mama, Auntie Tami has a dinosaur costume". Quick call to Auntie Tami and PHEW! we're good.

The Gooch, cooperative as ever, never complained once about his costume!

So here's Ella before the school party (obviously not so impressed with her costume choice)


And here she is ready to trick or treat...


The Gooch as my "little stinker" (how CUTE is HE?)


And the gang ready to go out and get high on sugar...
