Let me preface this with this comment: if any of you out there that read this have more than 1 child you will know what I am talkig about - it is absolutly IMPOSSIBLE to get a GREAT picture of both your kids smiling and looking at the camera at the same time! So with that said, enjoy our halloween pictures of the tops of heads, closed eyes, stuffing our faces with candy and minimal smiling!
Both the girls dressed up as Raggedy Ann for Halloween this year. We were able to get som 
clothes from Mamo (Tony's mom) to wear. She collects and makes Raggedy Dolls and even makes some life size dolls, so she already had the outfits. Addison enjoyed trick-or-treating this year, with minimal fright. She tried VERY hard to talk herself out of ever scary costume we walked by. I had to remind her numerous times that under the mask and make-up, that little boy of little girl was just the same as her. She would look at me and relpy, "I know mom, they are silly. I am just laughing". All the while standing behind my leg so as not to see them. Olivia is getting a cold, so she got to put her costume on and then had to head to bed shortly after. She needs her sleep right now since I can't buy any cold medicine for her (apparently, the FDA thinks it does not work...Tony and I disagree). Enjoy our febble attempts at catching the Raggedy's together:
After dinner Kristin, Brian and Keyara came over and trick-or-treated with us for a little while. Addison and Keyara were about as cooperative as Addison and Olivia were earlier in the evening. Kristin even said she didn't pull out the camera because it just wasn't worth it...true!!!
We did have a memorable Halloween and even found a few new traditions that we want to start!

Having read your blog, don't worry, you will have some very happy memorable moments and that's what it is all about. You will look back and laugh with, "remember when...", "we tried to..." "remember when Addison said...." "remember when Olivia...." Glad you all had fun. So what are your new "traditions"?
Love the pictures! And try to enjoy this stage of the "not cooperating with the camera", as you just might get some really funny pictures, the candid ones are sometimes the best at this age. I think three-year olds have a pact to "refuse to pose nicely", I remember that from my teaching days. It will go away in a year or so, and then she may drive you crazy with wanting to pose too much.
I am working on getting pics of ML up from Hallween, but am having some technical difficulties.....we sure love looking at your page.
Love,
the Welshs
