There's no getting a decent picture of the two of them together.
John Paul was St. Francis again this year, to go with Madeleine's raccoon. She REALLY wanted to be the raccoon again so I did not argue! His sacred heart necklace I got in Assisi and it's blessed by John Paul's patron saint! (I kept a close eye on him to make sure he didn't lose it!)
We kicked off the weekend festivities at Madeleine's friend's 3rd birthday party. My two handsome guys. (Soon to be THREE - next month!)
Madeleine's first experience with a pinata. It was a BIG hit with the kids. Someone else was a big hit with Madeleine.... a 12-13 year old dressed like an angel at the party. She has been interested in angels for a while now. Unfortunately, this "angel" was wearing something totally inappropriate for a 12 year old or anyone for that matter. Very low cut strapless black and red dress and angel wings. Weird. M got obsessed with her and followed her around the party for two hours, saying she was her "guardian angel." Great, now she thinks her guardian angel dresses like a little hooker with wings. She said she wants to be an angel next year. I told her she could for sure but she wouldn't be looking like THAT. I also had to explain that she wasn't a real angel, just a girl dressed like an angel!
The next night, Halloween, we started out at Grandma's house. John Paul consented to wear the Bee costume this time! Again, there's no getting good pictures of both of them at the same time.
Ken trick or treating with his little raccoon and bee. We just walked around to the houses on Mom and Dad's cul-de-sac, probably 6-7 houses. That was plenty for us all to get quite enough candy.
After trick or treating we went out to eat at Old Country Buffet, which was having a kids eat free night if they came in costume. My little Bumblebee loaded up on sugar - an ice cream cone in one hand and a "pop" in another! (After his supper, but still - he had to detox today!) Also he had a lollipop from his basket in the car on the way over there, and somehow got his eye stuck shut with it! Messiest little thing.
All cleaned up! We had a fabulous time and I can't believe we'll have 3 little trick or treaters next year!
