Halloween

This year Anna went as Minnie Mouse and Madeleine was a pink poodle! Anna had originally wanted to be TinkerBell, but when we were looking at the costume online she saw a Minnie Mouse one and that was it, it was Minnie Mouse from then on. Although of course when we were putting it on to go tricker treating she said I want to be TinkerBell, too late for that dear... She was happy with Minnie Mouse once the costume was on, especially when we told her how cute she was! She just ate that up:)! We went to the church fall festival instead of walking to houses, she got plenty of candy and has been sneaking it ever since. This morning I got out of the shower to see that she had been working on a sucker for quit awhile... Just like her Daddy loves those sweets!!

Update on the girls: Anna is saying new words everyday even some she makes up! She knows A,B,C,D,E,and F and can point them out everywhere. Although they are not called by the actual letter name; A is Apple Annie, B is Benjamin Bunny, C is Cathy Cook, D is Daisy Doll, E is Elmo the Elephant, and F is Funny Fish! That is fine, we are just excited that she can point them out in real life situations!! She is also getting to be a better eater, maybe Madeleine being so easy has something to do with it. But hey we will take what we can get!

Madeleine has got her two bottom teeth and we think is cutting the top 4! Yes you heard right 4! Her nose is running the New York Marathon and making her have a cough, hurry up teeth and come in already!! She has started pulling up on everything she trusts to not slide out from her, and loves to walk holding onto one finger. She explores the whole house this way! Her crawling is still the sit and scoot very interesting to watch but I think it is because she always wants to be in the sitting position, here she is less vulnerable!

Here are some pictures from Halloween:
