Happy Halloween!!!
Grandma Jeanne came to visit for 3 days! On Monday the kids got to spend the whole day playing with her and John. John took the day off so we could all stay at home.
Both kids started Halloween early by getting up at 5 a.m.! I guess they didn't get the memo about the end of Daylight Saving Time. Since Grandma Jeanne was visiting so we tried our best to be quiet and occupied until 7.
Then they went off to daycare in costume to play with their friends. As you can see from the pictures, Isabelle was Tigger and David was a Dinosaur... cute cute cute!! (Isabelle wouldn't let me paint her nose or make whiskers though.) We went down town for trick-or treating only for about 45 minutes. This was plenty of time for both of them. For David it was a little overwhelming and he was fighting a cold and ear infection:>( Isabelle is at the age when things are scary, and she's not that fond of crowds anyway... And then there was the whole getting up at 5 thing, and for some reason, they were excited about being in costumes all day, so naps didn't last long either. It was fun to see the costumes and celebrate. Isabelle didn't really want to take off her costume when we got home and liked looking at all of her candy. She would dump out her little Winnie-the-Pooh/Pumkin head candy bucket on the table, sort it out,and put it back in her bucket. Each time lining all of the candy up in neat little ways.

The kids had a good time with Grandmas visit. As soon as we got home on Wednesday, Isabelle asked, 'Where's Grandma Jeanne? Is Grandma Jeanne commin' in? Daddy, when will Grandma Jeanne come in?"
The little tail on her costume would wag from side to side when she walked.
