Alert! Alert!

Ok, I know I'm behind in photos. Sometimes I just fall off the inspired bandwagon and can't get it together to post pictures, and then I wait a few more days and get some really good ones, and then I don't know which ones to choose and BLEH and such and then I end up posting not at all. And yes, I know that was a run-on and it was entirely necessary. In any case, I resolve to do better. (Sorry, grandparents.)
Halloween photos! Well, sort of. Our Halloween ended up being a stomach-bug laden occasion, so I'll spare the details of that. But I do have costume photos, decoration photos and pumpkin carving photos, so at least there's that.
Onward!

G as TinkerBell. Skirt by mama; shoes, wings and hair by daddy. Seriously. (Skills, I tell you. I bet you didn't know that Casey could do hair.) The skirt is a little wonky but I blame it on the pure polyester that was the fabric. G, of course, couldn't get enough of it. "It's so SPARKLY, mama!" Yes. I am still finding sparkles everywhere. This morning I saw some in my toothbrush. ANYWAY.

surprise!

Pumpkin carving... carried out mainly by Casey and Georgia. I photo'd and Adele cheered them on. She can clap now and it's her favorite thing. Pumpkin carving? A round of applause! Avocado for dinner? Allow me to cheer for that. Bathtime? A standing ovation! You get the idea.

Also, what is the point of having a spiderweb front door if you don't go all out on Halloween?

Happy Halloween! (Video of clapping/carving to follow. If I can ever get Vimeo to accept it.)
