Halloween 2011

We had a great Halloween this year! I got the honor of taking out Carrie trick or treating around the neighborhood (the "boys" manned the fort).  We had lots of fun.  She dressed up as Angelina Ballerina.  Although sometimes she got confused and referred to herself as Minnie Mouse - close enough.  In the weeks leading up to the big night, we had several dress rehearsals around the neighborhood and house using my ipad to provide music so she could practice her dance moves.

I decided 10 minutes before departing the house to dress up. I couldn't find any costume handy, so I decided to make a costume based on an item I knew we had plenty of around the house...diapers.  I was a diaper caddy (and not a very good one at that). 

Andrew didn't dress up although he wore a festive goblin shirt that glows in the dark.  He is our own personal little goblin. He seems to also share the sleeping habits of a goblin much to our dismay.

Here are some photos from this year's Halloween.
