Here is our Halloween saga...
Earlier this year Cadence wanted to be the Little Mermaid for Halloween. I looked and looked and finally found a costume and ordered it (got a pretty good deal with free shipping...can't beat that!). It arrived and Cadence was in total love with the costume and wore it all the time. I thought we were good.
About three weeks before Halloween Cadence started telling everyone that she wanted to be a witch. It got to the point were I finally took her to look for a witch costume. She picked one out and was excited about it. We gave the kid that worked at Party City the number and 20 minutes later they brought us the costume (it was busy...REALLY BUSY). We pull it out of the the bag and there is no hat and the light up sparkly part doesn't work. I ask if they have another one. Nope. So they sell it to me for half price. On the way home I remember that there is another Party City close to where we live so we stop by to see if they have a costume with a hat and that works. We wait and wait and wait (they were busy too and on top of the busy part they were very un-organized). Finally they have one for us and it works and has a hat! Yay! We go to exchange it and the kid working there just traded straight across for the new one. So I still got the complete costume for half price. Pretty nice.
We take the costume home and try it on. It was hard to get on and very itchy. Cady was upset. I fixed what I could and bought a leotard for her to wear under it so it wouldn't itch her. Night before our trunk or treat she wouldn't put it on. REFUSED very VIOLENTLY to put it on. Brady and I were at a loss, and I was a mess since it was unlikely that we would be able to take it back now. The next morning I pulled the costume out and Cady started to bawl.
Off we went to Target so see if maybe we could find another costume. Lucky for us they had a really cute witch costume in Cady's size.
That afternoon Cady let me curl her hair with the curling iron for the very first time. Here were the results. As my sweet sister-in-law would say, "Trouble on two legs."
She got to wear some of my make up as well. She was in girlie heaven! Here was my witch!
Rory was a witch too. I found the little beanie at Target in the dollar bins. Love those things. The onesie says "This
is my costume."
Rory is smiling so much now! She smiles everytime she sees me, Daddy or Cady. I can get her to giggle when I tickle her and the sound of her laughing is probably one of the best sounds in the world. She also sleeps SO well! I am getting way more sleep than I ever did with Cady and it is awesome. She also has discovered her hands! Joy of joys!
Cadence LOVE her sister! I love this picture. They look like they are having a blast together (they were) and that is what it is like pretty much every day. Cady wants to hold her sister ALL the time. She loves to kiss her and hold her hands. Cadence is also getting very good at sharing and is always trying befriend the sad kids in Nursery. She gives them hugs and always says something like, "Your mommy will be back soon. We should have fun now! Want to play with me?" It is so sweet and I love that she cares so much about others. 
Cady wanted "Cinderella" Hair for church last week. This was how it turned out. Not to bad for someone who isn't very good with her own hair huh?
I LOVE my girls! I can't wait for Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday and I love the spirit that this season brings! I am also stoked for the first Christmas in our own home! I'm not that big on decorating, but I love the giving that goes on and all the time we get to spend with family! I hope that everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving!
