Happy Halloween!

 What an awesome day!  First, a fiesta at Dora's school:

 Complete with a paranda around the block:

 Boots got to come to the party too!

 Here is one of Stephie's teachers, Mrs. P.

 And more importantly, Pumpkin the guinea pig!

 Best buddy Noah:

 The girls went trick-or-treating at Bobo's house...

 ...before posing for a few pictures at home.

 And then it was off to trick-or-treat with Robert, Avery, and their new brother Harrison!

 YES!  More chocolate!

 Last stop of the night: Julie and Papa's house.

Happy Halloween!!!

Trick-or-Treating in downtown Glen Ellyn

Dora and Boots rode up into town for some trick-or-treating at the local shops.

This time we remembered Boots' boots!

 Dora was looking especially cute with 3 layers of clothes under her signature pink shirt and orange shorts (it was a little bit cold).

 Choose carefully, girls!

More Halloween fun to come tomorrow.

Halloween fun with Gigi and Roger

The girls are having a great weekend with Gigi and Roger in town.  Here is Stephie on the bike she got from them last Christmas.

 Stephie hard at work on an art project...

 ...while Haley and Grandpa Roger observed.

 Finally, the annual family pumpkin carving!  A scary face, Hello Kitty, a witch, Halloween, a dog/wolf, and a cat.  Nice job everyone!

Identity crisis

Is that Stephie???

No, just Stephie's backpack.

Is that Bobo???  No, just Bobo's shoes.

OH, it's Haley!!!  Mommy's little troublemaker.

Innocent by day, terror by night.

Pre-Halloween music party

Dora and Boots went to Stephie's first and Haleys' second annual Music Together Halloween party.  Miss Christy was Dorothy this year (much preferred to the suppository...err...maraca egg...of 2010).

Look, Boots remembered her red boots!

 Afterward, Dora went to ballet class which was again overrun by princess costumes.

 Finally, lunch with friends.

 Dora says, "Delicioso!"

Random recap

Sometimes it's fun to go play with someone else's toys for a while, even if their Cozy Coupe looks an awful lot like the one at Julie and Papa's house.

Way to trash the place, girls!

Don't worry, their friends reciprocated by leaving a nice patina of old food all over everything at our house.

Who, me?!?
