Halloween 2014

This year Evie really wanted to be an orange cat. 

Whaaaaaaat????

Yeah, I don't know either. But anytime I would ask her, that's what she would say. She was very specific about the orange part, too. I tried to sway her down the black or white cat road, but she wasn't having it. I was distressed, to say the least. Go ahead- search for an orange cat costume on pinterest or amazon and see what you come up with. I thought I would have to buy her a Garfield costume! Finally I decided to work some psychological business on her and showed her some pictures of cute little girls in Little Red Riding Hood costumes.

Done. Sold! She bit and I locked that baby down. :)

She comes up with her own poses, and they don't come from her mother.

I had grand ideas to make Beckett a little wolf costume, but you know, I barely got hers done before the preschool parade, so he wore her old zebra costume and was all kinds of adorable.

All zebras are pensive, right??

We invited some sweet friends over for pizza and to trick or treat with us. It was super cold, so we only made it around the block, but they all made out like bandits. They were hilarious to watch. I love this little crew and can't believe my bestie's oldest is holding my baby. Makes my heart so happy!

 

A Possible Crush..

Yesterday was a big day.. 

Evie staked her claim loud and clear on our buddy Rhett.

Look, Mama, I got him!

Poor Rhett didn't know what to think.

Don't worry. When we got home we had a long, long talk about not being forward, letting the boys do the chasing, etc. A little sooner than I thought we'd have this conversation, but I'm rolling with it.

Dad? Not so much. :)

But with a pretty baby girl like this, he's going to have his hands full, I'm sure.
