Halloween (a little late)

For some reason or another I wasn't on top of things this Halloween.  In the past, the girls have had their costumes way in advance and are SO excited about them.  This year, I didn't really give them a choice about what they were going to wear.  Some kids had known for months what they were going to dress up as for Halloween, and mine didn't really know until that day.  Here's how it all played out...

TCU's homecoming was on the 31st.  We typically take the girls to one game every season and decided this would be a perfect one for them to go to.  The game was at 3, so we figured we'd watch the game and come home just in time for trick-or-treating.  The thought of getting home, getting them changed and into costumes and getting out the door to trick-or-treat wasn't too appealing to me though, so by default they were going dressed as TCU cheerleaders (outfits from last year- sizes 18 months and 2T...a bit of a stretch!)

Things took a slight turn when Sarabeth got sick Monday before Halloween.  She ran a fever for 4 days, was taking tamiflu, antibiotics, tylenol...not the best week she's ever had.  She was better by Saturday but didn't quite have all her energy back, so the girls skipped out on the game and Josh made it home in time for the festivities.  We ended up having a great evening & hung out with neighbors and friends, and the girls looked adorable in their TCU gear.  Actually, I was the only family member who looked like they didn't belong- Josh was still wearing his shirt from the game.  Made for darn cute pictures!!
