People that know me know that I love Thanksgiving, am getting back into Christmas and like birthdays ... but the rest of the holidays I've always had the "take 'em or leave 'em" type attitude. Bahumbug right? I know. Mike on the other hand, thinks all holidays should be celebrated ... especially where children are concerned. So it's safe to say that THIS YEAR it is b/c of my husband that Olivia and I went costume shopping and trick or treating. After seeing how much fun Olivia had being in costume and trick or treating I think I'm actually looking forward to all of the upcoming holidays! Just look at how happy our little buccaneer is!
I love the expression on Olivia's face in this next picture. Technically this jack-o-lantern could be considered her brother's first costume.
Mike says he's not artistic but I disagree.
One of our local libraries held a 'come in costume' storytime and Olivia didn't have to be asked twice to go! The binoculars and backpack are not technically part of her costume but she doesn't go many places without them.

After the children were read several Halloween books there was a craft. I love the googly eyes on Olivia's pumpkin .... almost as much as watching Savanah and Olivia working together.
Cousin Luca in his handsome pirate costume was the inspiration for Olivia being a buccaneer. What a great Halloween.

The kids had so much fun! And I am glad they got the extra dress up event at the library. That story time rocks ~ we've got to make it a weekly habit. If only S could always be there! Do you think her teachers would notice her always asking for a bathroom pass at 10 on Fridays?
The trick or treating was awesome ~ and forgetting to pack Luca's treat bag for our trip to FL was a blessing in disguise. He had a few pieces on Halloween and then forgot all about it. 143
