just like the rest

blogs all over the world will be filled with halloween pictures... mine will be no different.

isaiah had his authentic astronaut suit and we just couldn't pass it up. he got lots of comments on how 'real' he looked. yeah, it's from the kennedy space center.... (thanks again uncle steve!)


alaythia's auntie rosemary sewed her outfit. alaythia loves june and talks about her all the time and carries her june doll around everywhere. so i mentioned in passing that i would love to be able to sew so she could have an outfit. rosemary volunteered and yes, it was her very first attempt at an outfit...and it was fabulous! she obviously didn't have access to alaythia and yet, when grandma brought it with her, we found that it fit like a glove. a glove i tell you. it won't fit next week. but it fit today!

came with red ballet shoes up the calf and all. our happy girl and her june doll. thanks auntie rose!
we went trick or treating and the kids loved it. alaythia could not believe she was being given candy...isaiah got it and ran as fast as he could to the next house. we even got a family photo since grandma was along to snap one!

I would have been so disappointed if you didn't post pictures!! Those costumes are SO great. And I agree, that family photo is perfect.

i was so hoping to find the pictures posted this morning, and you didn't disappoint! thank you nat!

isaiah looks so very authentic, and alaythia, oh my goodness, JUNE (not june cleaver!)! she is the spittin' image! great job auntie rose!

from the wide-eyed pictures, it looks like alaythia was a bit overwhelmed! was she? or did the camera just catch her that way? adorable! it IS an amazing thing when they realize for the first time that they are going to walk up to somebody's house say "trick or treat" and get candy! in their little minds, i think it might be the equivalent to us adults realizing that there is nothing we can do to earn our salvation!

Alaythia's costume looks great. I saw it in process and am so glad you posted the pictures so quickly so I could see the final product. I can see you are having a good time with Grandma!
