As for our Halloween, Lil Girl and Youngest Nephew came over early and spent the day hanging out with us... I miss spending time with Youngest Nephew now that school has started back up, and was so glad to see him. His sister was in a pretty nasty mood for part of the day (Sharing; what's that? Standing still so that Auntie can get a good picture: Que es esta?), and nobody understood my costume at all (Oracle; but nobody knows who the heck she is), but the majority of the day went well, nonetheless.

Youngest Nephew wasn't feeling particularly inspired this year, and wore his Army man costume from last year (and the year before), but with additional weaponry (yippee). Lil Girl was going to be a cat; then she wanted to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (because it came with a little stuffed dog), but while we were at the store, she saw this Dora the Explorer costume and decided she had to be Dora - because of Backpack (who she calls "Pack Back") - Lil Girl is all about the accessories. (There were a lot of comments in our family, about her being a little blond Dora, but I thought she looked adorable... I do wonder how many people she had to explain the costume to, though.)
We had more trick or treaters this year, in our new house, than I've had in the past 5 years at the old house, and were lucky enough that we had a bunch of older candy hiding in the cupboard, or else we would have run out of candy before 7 o'clock.
Now I'm off to see what everybody else did this weekend!

=D I love the salute! lol!! It will be so fun to look back on these pictures years from now. =)
i love that she just turned her back on you :). i say that only b/c i feel your pain ;).
Well I think she makes an adorable Dora. And I'm thinking his ammo looks kinda real. Wow.
Oh my goodness, he looks that part! What is that backpack with the eyes?
Great pictures! They both look great - I love the little blond Dora! Wish I could see a picture of The Oracle.
And FYI, all boys are fascinated by all forms of weaponry - it's an innate genetic thing that I will never understand. I have the two sweetest, most gentle and empathetic boys on the planet, yet they have ammassed a huge collection of swords, daggers, laser guns, etc.
We got a total of 7 trick-or-treaters Saturday!
