Just a photo so Dad can see Izzie enjoying her new chubby ears for the first time. They're a little big, but she'll grow into them!

Izzie is 22 months old.
It is hard to believe that they grow up so fast..JPG){kind=link}
Minnie Mouse and Happy Face Pumpkin
Unfortunately, we don't have very many great photos from Halloween. Instead of snapping photos, I found myself wrestling Isabelle, hosting a party, and trying to keep up with Madeleine. I'm having regrets that I don't have better photos. Better luck next year, and hopefully, a new camera!
Friday, Maddie had a party and parade at school. We got to the school just in time to help Maddie change into her costume. Then, Maddie marched and danced in the Lower School Halloween Parade - one of my favorite events at ASL.
As much as Izzie loves a happy face pumpkin, she was not thrilled about wearing her costume. Here she is, partially buckled in, on our way to the parade.
Maddie didn't have much time to pose for photos. She was too busy running around with her friends.

While Maddie was getting ready, Izzie was keeping busy in the Lego corner.
Saturday, we had a small Halloween Party. Maddie decided to invite her church friends, Annabelle, Colette, and Madeleine along with their families. We also invited our neighbors, Eric, Shannon, and Camille. We ate, played games, and went trick or treating together.
I knew Izzie wasn't going to be excited about wearing her costume, so I thought I'd wait until we went trick or treating to put the pumpkin part on her. During the party, she insisted on wearing her favorite Tumble Tots t-shirt and tolerated the black, fleece part of her costume. When it was time to go trick or treating, Dad decided not to torture her and let her head out the door sans pumpkin. I never had a chance to try again. Needless to say, Izzie was a little under dressed for trick or treating. She didn't seem to mind considering what she had on underneath her costume. She kept undoing the fleece in the front and showing people her t-shirt. Classy, huh?
Izzie would occasionally get out of the stroller to trick or treat, but for most of the night, was perfectly content to ride around and eat lollies.
By the time we got home, Maddie was exhausted. She and her friends had raced from house to house collecting candy.
Maddie wasn't the only tired one. Our Dad travelled over 50 hours to spend 36 hours with us at home. We were glad he was here for Halloween, but we'll be even happier when he finishes his work in Australia.
