First Half of Halloween

Of course, the day after writing that my child will never, ever, ever, ever fall asleep away from home or in my arms . . . I apparently just needed to wear her out with lots of office trick or treating!

Here's Ellie.
Going . . .

. . . going . . .

. . . gone!
This was one tired baby!

I love that second picture of Ellie, where she can. barely. stay. a. wake.


Annie had so much fun trick or treating at Aunt Star's work. She easily filled almost her entire Elmo basket. It was slow going though, since she stopped every other cubicle to take out, unwrap and eat yet another piece of candy. I'm expecting her to come crashing down from her sugar high anytime now.

After Aunt Star's work, we went to Grandma Ruth's work.
Here's Grandma & the girls . . .

A very Happy Phantom with her Grandma.

The four of us in front of this adorable background. Greg's Mom is a ridiculously talented artist, and actually painted this whole thing. I'm really hoping the art genes get passed on to my kids, 'cause it's well known that I can barely draw a stick figure. (Although, need me to morph your ex-boyfriend's picture into a picture of Gollum in Photoshop, I'm all over that.)
