that this party Sarah is attending tonight runs until 11:00PM? I've had a difficult time staying up late enough to go get her. Thankfully, it's almost time to leave.
I should be able to get in bed within the hour. Wish me luck!

All Hallows Eve
What an eventful All Hallows Eve we've had so far! Katie was too excited about Halloween today to take her nap, so by the time we needed to get her dressed in her costume, she was all out of sorts and refusing to get dressed while screaming that she didn't want to go Trick-or-Treating.
Sarah had a Halloween party to attend at her friend Rowan's house, so I went ahead and took her there while Phil stayed home to fight with Katie. Sarah let me put make-up on her for the party since it was Halloween. She was so beautiful and mature looking with it on, I had to take several pics of her before we left. Here are just a few.
While I was dropping Sarah of at her friend's house, Phil called me to say that Katie had changed her mind and was now ready to go Trick-or-Treating. So, I had to rush back to the house so I could go with Phil and the girls. Because it was a bit chillier than we had expected it to be, we had to put long sleeves on Katie under her costume.
The second house we went to had this really cool, yet really scary, animatronic monster at the front door. Katie did not like that, and got scared that there was going to be a monster at every door we went to. Once we got through a couple more with no scary monsters, she was finally fearless enough to get really excited again. Of course, when we finally got home, Katie got SUPER excited about digging into her bucket of candy.
Emily dressed up in her Groovy 60s costume. It's actually a lot cuter than it looks in these next two photos. For some reason, Emily was in her "pose like a complete dork" mode when I snapped these pics of her.
Emily has a costume party to attend tomorrow afternoon, so she'll get another chance to wear her costume. Hopefully, I can get some better photos of her in her costume. Oh, and she WILL be getting her hair cut tomorrow. I've had enough of her not taking care of it.

Ghosts of Halloween Past
Since today is Halloween, and I've only been blogging for about a year and a half, I thought I'd go back into my photo files and share some pics from Halloweens past.
Halloween 2003: These photos were taken during the Halloween Horribles Parade at one of our local libraries. Sarah was a cat, and Emily was a lady bug.
Halloween 2004: Sarah and Emily were both cute little witches.
Halloween 2005: For some reason, I don't have any photos of the girls in their costumes this year, but I do have some cute photos of them at Sea World's Halloween Spooktacular to share with you.
Halloween 2006: This was Katie's first Halloween. I wasn't planning to dress her up, but then I found an adorable flower costume for her at Walmart for $10, and I was sold. Sarah went as a pirate and Emily was some sore of Angel-Devil hybrid. Oh, and don't blame me for their skimpy costumes - their grandparents took them shopping for them.
Halloween 2007: Sarah dressed up as a pirate again (though she didn't ToT), and Emily borrowed a Little Red Riding Hood costume from my mother. Katie dressed up as Tinkerbell. Sarah and Emily had both dressed up as Tinkerbell when they were Katie's age, so I thought it only appropriate that Katie should do the same thing. I also bought a hot dog costume for Maggie, and my mother tried to dress Bella up in a Halloween sweater, but it didn't last long.
I can't wait to snap some new shots of my girls all dressed up for Halloween tonight!

BOO!
So, I was going through my usual blog reads last night, when I happened to notice that lovely little Kelsey "Boo-ed" me. No, she didn't "Boo" me in a nasty, "You Suck" sort of way, but in a "Happy Halloween" sort of way. And now, it's my turn to pass the "Boo" along to some of my favorite bloggers.
AFRo, Ashley, Kaycee, Anna, and Melody, to you ladies, I say, "Boo!"
