Happy Halloween!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. R had a great time trick-or-treating. The kids both got decked out right after dinner for a photo shoot--it's harder than you might think to get two kids to look at the camera and smile!I was all set to delete this picture from the camera--R is getting upset with RUS because he was grabbing at her wings--except for the fact that I fell in love with RUS's smile in it. I have a hard time getting pictures of him with this smile, and he smiles so much you wouldn't think it'd be that hard!All along she's been adamant that she wanted to be a butterfly for Halloween, and because J and I like to get the kids involved in "making" their own costumes, we had her make her wings. J cut out the shape from foam board and R decorated them herself with markers and glittery glue. Here's a video of her decorating them! For awhile she also wanted her BLUE butterfly to have an orange mask, so J made one for her out of orange felt and pipe cleaners, but all 3 times we got decked out in the costume, when it came down to it she didn't want to wear the mask. I wrapped pipe cleaners around one of her headbands to make antennae, and the tutu I ordered online, I just love it! It's going to be a great addition to the dress-up box post-Halloween.
