Halloween 2009

This was so exciting for me as a mom, I finally get to start enjoying the holidays through the eyes of my children. Something I have been looking forward to for a very long time.

First, we went to Mcall's Pumpkin patch here in New Mexico. For this they had matching first Halloween onsies. There were so many little kids in costumes, it was fun to see their expressions when they saw them.
       Nate and Chloe posing for the camera for the first time, I think!        Just so cute                                          

He couldn't sit by himself yet, pumpkins make great props!

Daddy and a bright-eyed Chloe

Mommy and Nate who is more interested in the food on the table!

Corn kernel "sand box" makes good prop also, except not so much after we noticed fistfuls being shoveled into Nate's mouth. We were so focused on getting a good shot with all of us looking at the camera  (you can tell how good that worked, and my face not even in it - I think Brian had more focus on my gigantic boobs popping out! )You can see Nate stealing a handful right there!

Chloe's Scarecrow's. She fits right in, almost lost her in there for a minute in her little white stretch pants.

The little blackbird scarecrow caught her eye immediately. She was perplexed and mesmerized. She was eagerly waiting for something to happen! I was laughing so hard, we couldn't get a good shot

So, I think we had to buy one for the house...Looks good on the front step






Next, we had little miss Chloe, the Mermaid and Mr Nate, the Goldfish.

Another self posing dog photo - he's just not going to be left out!

Again, just adorable. Later that evening, the other kids in our little cul-de-sac neighborhood were starting to gather to go trick or treating. My nanny, Sabrina and I took them out to be part of it all. Nate and Chloe looked in amazement and awe, thinking quietly to themselves that they couldn't wait until they were big enough to go Trick or Treating with the older kids! They giggled and smiled in their costumes while all the other kids and parents came to admire how cute they looked. What fun!! Twins are a spectacle.
