Halloween and Weddings

It's been a whirlwind of a week around here.

Halloween.

None of the original choices I picked out panned out this time around. Bea ended up with two costumes - a pony and a princess. I had a hard time finding a pony costume, even online. We settled for the donkey from Shrek, and heck, she didn't know it was a donkey. So, we told her she was a pony as well as people giving her canding that exclaimed, "what a cute DONKEY!...OH, PONY!" Luckily, I have photos of her in both costumes.

O's costume was a different story. She wanted to be a kitty cat. The closest I could come to that was a pink cheetah-like outfit. She wouldn't wear the hat for more than ten seconds. I gave her a brown nose and whiskers to make her look more cat-like.

The day after halloween, we headed out to Colorado for my brother's wedding. The girls did great on the plane, both ways. They danced all night at the wedding. It was a really great time. Their schedules were completely out of whack, but it was well worth all the time spent with family. Here are some pics, and many more to come in a future post:



Quite possibly the best picture ever of our dancing queen in action:
