Halloween 2012

Happy 1st Halloween Maddie Girl!!

The day we moved into our new place was October 31st, and NJ wasn't feeling much Halloween spirit due to super storm Sandy.  The Governor of NJ officially re-scheduled Halloween until Monday, November 5th, so the girls had the opportunity to dress up twice! My Mom and Dad flew out that evening, so they got to see the girls all dressed up in their feathered finest.

Lulu the Peacock (2 years 8 months) and Maddie the Owl (8 months)

 Lindsay was the one who came up with the bird costume idea. We were in Party City looking at costumes, and I held up the Owl costume and Lindsay said, "Mommy! I want to be a bird too!!". I was fine with two Owls, but it didn't come in her size. Then Lulu spotted the Peacock costume and she got SO excited about the sparkles and the hat. We lucked out and the 24 months still fit her. Birds of a feather!

 We went trick-or-treating on November 5th, and we made it to a couple of houses. A lot of homes were still without power, and it was really dark and COLD!! We met some of our neighbors and they seemed great!

 

 Fall Fun! We cleaned up the yard one morning and Lindsay had fun playing in the leaves. Maddie had fun scooting along in her walker. Lovely shady trees = LOTS of leaves for raking. I am thinking of adding a leaf-blower to my Christmas list..lol.

Loving autumn on the East Coast!!
