Trick or Treat!!

Halloween was so much fun this year. I decided last minute to dress up with the girls, and we had a blast. Late in the afternoon we stopped by our favorite chocolate shop....what better place to go trick or treating than at an artisan chocolate store??!!

We turned a lot of heads as we walked in with our costumes on- (who wouldn't stop to stare at 3 pretty butterflies) and took a photo with our favorite chocolatiers! Luckily, all of the ladies working today had on costumes, so we didn't feel so much out of place. The girl on the far right is Amber. She has become buddies with Corinne. We have really enjoyed getting to know her as she has such a sweet and genuine personality.

We got back home and our friends Kevin and Crystal arrived for dinner. Their son Austin was Cat in the Hat (and boy was it a cute costume!!)

Corinne's butterfly- Audie's Dragonfly

Corinne really got the hang of trick or treating. She led the way through the neighborhood and marched right up to each door and confidently said "Trick or Treat". I was surprised as I thought she would be more timid. But she did great.

Happy Halloween!!!!

Audie

I took these pictures of Audie last night- she was in a great mood. Corinne spent the night with Grandma, and I went out with a friend, so Audie got some good alone play time with Dad. When I came home she was stomping her feet and giggling with excitement, and she opened her arms to give me a hug.

It feels so good to be the girls' mommy. However, I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. When I talk to Corinne on the phone I get a lump in my throat because I just cannot believe that my daughter is holding a conversation over the phone! She sounds so little, but talks like an adult. Audie brought me her shoes this morning because she wanted to go outside. Both of the girls are doing things for themselves, and they are not babies anymore! I wish it were possible to capture time.
