Halloween

I think that this year will be the last year I will be in charge of Halloween costumes for Alex and Olivia. With having twins, I feel this need to capitalize on the duo thing until they no longer let me. However, this year it just proved too much stress as I yearned to find the perfect costumes!!! I wanted to do Mickey and Minnie this year, but Ben never liked any of the Mickey costumes!! So next year he is in charge, since the duo costumes failed this year!!!

The plan was for them to be an angel and a devil. When I got their costumes in the mail, I put Olivia's angel costume on (she was the chosen angel not necessarily because she is an angel all the time but more so because it was a dress!), and it was a little small, and I think it was uncomfortable because she started crying hystarically! It was either that, or she knew she wasn't an angel!!!

So I decided to try the devil costume on Olivia (I don't know what I was thinking), and ironically she FELL in love with the costume!!! She wore it all night until we forced her to take it off at bedtime! It had wings that velcroed to the back, and while getting ready for bed we took the wings off, and she happened to fall in her room and she got velcroed to the floor. It was quite funny, although Olivia didn't find it funny!
I was then off to find Alex a devil costume, but couldn't find anything in his size! So since the kids Halloween party at day care was the next day, a firefighter was going to be Alex's costume (just like Grandpa Jarboe!)

They had a great time at their Halloween party. Olivia loved staring at herself in the mirror, and they both loved hanging out in their costumes with their friends!!!


On Halloween night, we decided to get them dressed in their costumes, and take them to a couple of houses! We took them around in the wagon, which they both loved.
The weather was beautiful as it was close to 70 degrees. Alex wanted to go inside every house. He was confused why we would get candy and then just leave. Then when we came home, they both played with their candy like it was a bunch of toys!! So cute and so innocent, as they had no idea what the got was something they could eat!!!
