I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

The Great Halloween Post of 2013

My baby bumblebee:

And Izzy the Pirate (from Jake and the Never Land Pirates…  She refused to wear the bandana and wanted a bow instead, like a proper pirate):

We went Trick-or-Treating with Darin and Kim.  Amelia daintily walked to each house, timidly rang the doorbells, and whispered “Thank you” to her kind benefactors.  She then took time to study each new piece of candy and show it to everybody present before making her way to the next house.  In the meantime, her cousins (Matthew and Jacob and their friends) had knocked on 5 houses.   After a couple blocks, Amelia declared that she thought she had enough candy and wanted to go home.

Lily procured a lollypop (her first ever) at the first house, and spent the rest of the evening sucking happily in her stroller.

You guys are adorable! We took our little guy for the his first trick or treating experience... He LOVED his candy loot! Everything is just SO MUCH BETTER in the eyes of our children! =)

Love their costumes...especially the pink pirate bow. If I'd known that was an option, I would have considered becoming a pirate.
