The Long Awaited Halloween Pics!! (and it's only december 7!)

Okay, before the costumes, I just wanted to show mom how I finally got the girls to fall asleep after Gramma and Papa left on Oct 27. The girls had a rough night. The perfume on the shirts Gramma left behind helped them feel better. This trick only worked a few days, but it eased the transition, and I thought it might make G&P feel better too, knowing a part of them was still with the girls.





Here are the Halloween Pumpkins!!


Clara drew the face she wanted on her pumpkin and I carved it. I chose the Cheshire cat for Roses because these are tiny little pumpkins and the pattern was very detailed and I love to make simple things overly complicated. I get to squint and curse and use super glue and strait pins; then, voila!, a tiny cheshire cat where once there was solid little pumpkin.


ClaraAlice in Wonderland!


Meow! Roses says, "Oh, we're all mad here..."


Hey, wait! Isn't there a ME in meow?


That's right! Me me meow!


We tried the trick-or-treating, but Clara preferred to sit daintily and hand out candy. She's a very generous (wonderful!) girl. She was also afraid of all the costumes and liked the safety of her own porch. Oh well, her dress looks beautiful like that!


Clara shared her bubble gum flavored lollipop since Roses was having trouble tasting her root beer lollipop.


Roses tells Christina, "Here, maybe you can get this thing to work. It just tastes like wrapper to me."




This strange cloud blurred most of the pictures we took that night. It was really weird, it only showed up in the photos between 7:06 and 7:16 PM. It's never happened before or since... It's even more spooky when you see the face. It's like it's looking over Rosemary's shoulder.


Roses pounces like a cat! Mrow!! I got you!


All clean and ready for bed!
This is how most of my posts end because by the time I'm done I can hardly keep my eyes open. I hope my typing is coherent!
So much love! We miss you all. Keep checking the blog. The girls went sledding for the first time and I will be posting those pics soon...ish.
Good night!
