Halloween Candy Handout

Little man and his big sis had a great time this Halloween. He got to dress up as Dinosaur, Jr. and she went as Snow White. Chloe spent Halloween night handing out candy to literally hundreds of kids. In her little plastic high-heeled shoes, she worked hard for at least an hour and a half telling kids "Trick or Treat" and "Happy Halloween". Even after all the kids were gone, she stood on the edge of the porch and yelled out into the black of night, "Kids ... I've got you candy!" She was definitely the hardest-working baby in Babyland. See some of her work on the video below. Notice how in the beginning she was picking who to give candy to (if you looked too scary, you didn't get no candy!). But shortly after I stopped filming, she went straight to handing out candy to anyone -- pirates, vampires, ghouls, Britney Spears, it didn't matter.

More Halloween Pictures

Here is a photo of Chloe getting ready to join her friends next door to hand out candy. If you can't tell by the smile on her face, she LOVED her DeeDee Doodle costume.
DeeDee Doodle and Snow White(Chloe's little friend from next door) share a laugh before the crowds arrive.
Chloe thought the fiber optic jack'o lantern was pretty cool.
Here she's doing the "Wobbly Woopsie" (a Doodle Dance) with Mr. Pumpkin.
Chloe takes a moment to check on Alex, her absolute favorite little brother.
The girls handed out a ton(literally) of candy. There were hundreds of kids out trick or treating on our street.
The girls take a little break. Aren't they adoreable??!!
This little Elvis has got to be the cutest trick or treater we saw all night.
As the evening was ending, a little cow crawled into the candy tub and helped himself to some chocolate. He was soooo cute with little bits of chocolate smeared on his face.

DeeDee Says Happy Halloween

DeeDee Doodle passed out loads of candy tonight. There are plenty more pics coming tomorrow, but I know some of you were dying to see a picture of her in her DeeDee Doodle Costume Aunt Debbie got her.

Also, you might want to see DeeDee getting down to her new favorite song - the Theme from the Exorcist - and sorting through the candy. Click here to see the MOVIE!

Halloween Play Date

Keeping this many toddlers happy long enough for a group photo is just about the biggest challenge imaginable. This is our playgroups' annual Halloween Play Date. After the kids finished posing for pictures and could actually play, they had a great time.




Alex preferred to watch the craziness from the comfort of his car seat.
The group went on a hayride, which Chloe really enjoyed. She kept wanting to get back on the wagon when it was over.
Chloe and Kalyn play house. This was Chloe's favorite thing to play with at the play date. We'll have to get her one for the back yard.
Chloe wants the yellow ring...
...and Chloe gets the yellow ring!
"No, Cole. You can't come in. This is MY playhouse. MINE! MINE! MINE!"
"I'll join you guys in a minute. I just gotta take this call"
All a girl really needs to be happy is a rocking horse and a plastic shovel. Oh yeah, and a snack. You can see Chloe is still wearing hers on her face.
I'm so glad Chloe wasn't wearing her Halloween costume yet. It would have been a complete train wreck. There was just no keeping this kid out of the dirt. Her and dirt are pretty good pals.
I'm pretty sure that she not only played in the dirt, but ate some also. Oh well, at least she had a good time. Keep checking the blog. We'll post more photo's after trick or treating tonight!
