Two little flowers

Ever since John and I moved into this house (5 yrs ago) we have spent Halloween with our neighbors, Matthew and Sherry. We sit out in lawn chairs on one of our driveways and hand out candy all night. The last two years we added a fire pit to the fun. Zoe spent Halloween day at a friend's birthday costume party and the evening handing out candy to all our neighbors.

We were surprised how well Zoe did in her costume and that she left her flower petal hat on almost all night. Once we showed her the basket of candy to hand out and gave her a bag to put some in, she forgot all about the costume. She did really well at handing out the candy as people came by. We kept waiting for her to start taking candy out of someone else's trick or treat bag, but she never did.

Sophia slept for part of the evening and spent the rest hanging out watching people.

All in all it was a fun-filled family day.

Taking after mom and dad ( a little too much)

Zoe has her first lasting fall. My dad's first words when he saw her were "Just like your mother". She is going to the dentist in the morning so we will see what they say. I suspect this is what her smile will look like for the next 6 or so years until her adult tooth comes in.
