Our Halloween...

... didn't quite go as planned.


We bought Avery's costume a couple of weeks before Halloween (I had hopes of making it, but with a newborn I had to be realistic).  She LOVED it and wore it every. single. day.


When Halloween actually came, Avery was sick with the croup.  It was awful.  We were all sleep-deprived and she was miserable.  It was the first time she's been really sick, and it was hard on my heart. :( The cold night air was supposed to be good for her, so we told her she could still trick-or-treat... and she was SO excited.


Until we got to trunk-or-treat at my family's church.  She refused to put on her costume and had a major meltdown...


We ended up at Bubba & Gpa's house... where she played happily (yet still refused to wear her costume).


So these pictures are actually from the week before Halloween - one of our neighbors had a mini-festival and Avery insisted on wearing her costume.  She wanted to be Tinkerbell, since Malachi was going to be Peter Pan... but I couldn't find a Tinkerbell costume in her size, so she's a pink Tinkerbell.  She told everyone that she was a "fairy princess". :)





Thank goodness I took those, because I didn't get any of her on Halloween.  Oh well.  I did take a few that night - one of Malachi, I mean Peter Pan... and my sweet little candy corn (can you tell it's Ezra?). :)





I was a bit annoyed that I didn't get "real" pictures for Halloween, but I let it go.  Well, kind of.

I decided to have a little photo session with Ezra in his costume when I had a spare minute... which didn't happen for a while.  So here are some of my sweet candy corn (at 2 months old rather than at 2 weeks old when Halloween was - ha ha).


Talking about it :)

Hi Mom!

Asher wanted in on the shoot :)

My sweet boy.

And we're done.

Happy (very late) Halloween! :)
