A princess and a Ladybug!

Claire and her first "loot" of the night-cookies from the neighbors.
My beautiful Cinderella-much prettier then the orginal Cindrella I do believe!

My miserable ladybug and one excited Cinderella.

Get this hat off my head!

Halloween morning...pitiful! (If you know my Keeley you know how rare this is she never sits still for more than a minute or two.

This year for Halloween Claire dressed up as Cinderella and Keeley was a ladybug! I was really excited about Halloween and seeing the girls dressed up until that morning when Keeley woke up with a fever. (Keeley seems to have started a tradition I really hope she breaks. She spent her first Christmas sick, her first birthday sick, and now she has spent her second Halloween sick. I really hope the cycle ends here!) The poor thing looked just miserable all day. I felt so bad for her. Because she was sick I really didn't want her to be outside in the cool air aggravating her sore throat, cough and runny nose, but I didn't want Claire to miss the traditional trick or treating either. We were torn as to what to do, go to a fall carnival or trick or treat at just a few places. We decided to go eat at Chick-fil-A in the mall first and then make our decision based on how cool it had gotten after we ate. When we arrived at the mall we realized the mall was hosting trick or treaters! All the stores (it isn't a really big mall) were handing out candy to trick or treaters! We had our solution. Claire got to trick or treat and we were able to keep Keeley indoors. I will say it didn't take Keeley long to figure out they were putting something good in her basket. She seemed to perk up after the first few stores and then she got really excited with each stopped we made. (Too bad she is too little to eat candy...I guess mom and dad will have to sacrifice and eat it for her :))
