She’s made quite the name for herself in these short six months : ) we are still oh so very smitten with her!
I was so excited to have two little goblins to dress up this year and couldn’t wait to come up with their outfits. Cayen was just NOT impressed with my idea of him and Ellie going as Calvin and Hobbes or Rocky and Bullwinkle. He was adamant about being a chef and so we went with it and picked out a strawberry outfit for Ellie… BUT as you can see, ‘Cayen the chef’ gave way to ‘Cayen the artist’ at the last minute leaving me with two cute but unmatchy little trick or treaters! 
All I can think of is how it sounds like one of those terrible bar jokes!!! Eh, better luck next year : ) Happy Halloween 2011!
