My Two Little Pumpkins

We had a wonderful Halloween last week. My clever idea of dressing them as a monkey and banana did not go as planned. David had been resisting wearing his costume, but I thought I could be tricky that day. He took a late nap and it was time to get dressed when he woke up. So I changed his diaper and put on the monkey costume, just like it was a regular outfit. Everything seemed to be going fine - until David noticed that he had a tail. This really upset him and he started yelling Off! Off! Off! So rather than fighting with him, I just put on his pumpkin sweatsuit. Anna wore her sparkly pumpkin princess outfit and they looked cute. We went to a Halloween party at my friend Kathy's house. David had fun playing outside with other kids and then went trick-or-treating. At first he didn't really understand what we were doing, but once he realized people were giving him candy he thought it was great. We trick-or-treated til his little legs gave out (probably only about 10 houses, but it was fun for him). Anna was along for the ride, sleeping in my arms as we walked from house to house.
