Happy Halloween!

Kaylee had such a fun Halloween! She picked out who she wanted to be at least 2 months ago and never wavered in her choice. She was Kiki from The Fresh Beat Band. She also says she wants to have a FBB birthday party, so we'll see if she changes her mind in the next 4 months.

Here's our little Kiki before and after her transformation, and some FBB/Kiki pics:



Andy had a fun first Halloween...I think. He strolled around with us for a little while before Jamie took him back home since it was pretty chilly outside. I think he enjoyed the people watching, though!

Aside from Andy's potential Daddy costume (see post below), we had 3 costumes for him. The Tigger costume Kaylee wore for her 1st Halloween, a giraffe costume that I got at a consignment sale and a monkey costume we borrowed from a friend. All are 9 month size, but since Andy's mostly wearing 12 month onesies already, I wasn't sure any of these would fit! The giraffe and Tigger costumes' hoods were on the tight side, but luckily the monkey one, while still somewhat snug, didn't seem uncomfortable on him, so our little monkey was a monkey for Halloween! As you can see, though, he was a little tall for it as his red jammie feet stuck way out below the built in monkey feet and the sleeves were a bit short, too.

I tried the costumes on Andy and took photos while Kaylee was at school one day, and when I showed her the photos later, I started with the one of the monkey where you can't see Andy's face. She said, "is that a real monkey on our porch?!?" Then I showed her the one showing Andy's face and she thought it was so funny that he looked like a real monkey crawling around. :)



The photo below of Kaylee and Andy with the pumpkins is from earlier in the day and the one of all of us is just before heading out to trick or treat.



Halloween weekend, we went to our neighborhood fall festival. Kaylee had fun in the huge bouncy there, and also loading up on sugar! She got a cute black cat face painting and a balloon sword (she'd been wanting one for a while after having seen some kids with one a couple months ago). She also thought the spider cookies that someone brought were very funny!
