halloween and all the rest

The Halloween run-down:
Marshall was Theodore to Nate and Alec's Alvin and Simon.
Harley and Alison hung out together as Thing 1 and Thing 2.
Gracie let me doll her up up as our favorite storybook character,
"Fancy Nancy"...the butterfly version:)...thanks Nicole for
helping me curl up that hair!
With the first fistful of treats consumed on Halloween,
you know the holidays have officially begun.
So...

Here's to Harley's birthday,
just two weeks away.
Here's to turkey dinner,
done the vegetarian way.
Here's to endless baking,
and eating what you made,
Here's to all the shopping
and ignoring what you've paid.
Here's to decorations,
not seen since January 1.
Here's to my holiday planner,
helping me get it all done.
I vow to make it fun this year,
I promise not to stress.
And maybe, just maybe with any luck,
it'll all turn out a success:)

are you ready??

The kids look great! Gracie's hair is truly "fabulous". I did post a pic of my kids just a minute ago, I think you'll get a kick out of it. Anyway, we love you, and bring on the holidays!

So cute! What great costumes. I hope you all had a great time.

As soon as Caroline gets some hair you will have to teach me the tricks!

Great job!

Okay, so you and Hilarie had to notice the pumpkins...of all things. Anyway, we had to carve early because Paul left on a very long trip and just got back yesterday. We sacrificed nice pumpkins so that we could carve with dad. I am glad to see you have such an eye for detail. :)
