This year I had wanted the girls to be princesses for Halloween since they had received princess dress up costumes as a gift for their second birthday. \u00a0While they love princesses, they don’t like putting on the princess outfits for some reason. \u00a0I tried and tried but after several failed attempts, I realized they would have to go as something else. \u00a0We even went out to Target one night and searched the Halloween costume aisle. \u00a0The girls refused to try anything on. \u00a0They have some sort of tag fetish and refuse to try anything on if it has a tag! \u00a0We left the store with plastic pumpkins (which they loved) and a Mama that was wondering what in the heck I could have them dress up as that they would actually wear. \u00a0I knew it had to be something they were into….thus the idea came that they were going to be chefs as they LOVE cooking and their play kitchen. \u00a0Even when I prepare food in the kitchen these days, they immediately pull a chair right up so they can watch. So I bought two chef outfits online and they were the cutest little chefs in town. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Neither one of them were into taking pictures. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

They finally sat still so Justin could snap a few and they put on their best cheese face.<\/em><\/p>\n

We had been rehearsing the whole knocking, trick or treat, receiving candy and saying thank you process for a few weeks and the girls actually remembered it and lasted for a lot more houses than I thought they would. \u00a0They were a little frightened at times due to some of the scarier house props and Avery wanted to be carried for the most part, but overall they did quite well and really enjoyed trick or treating.\u00a0\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Harper dressed up in a Halloween onesie. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She stayed home and gave out candy with Grandma and Grandpa while Mommy and Daddy took Avery and Emerson out trick or treating. When we got home we put her in a pea in the pod outfit (yes, the same one the girls wore and without the hat as I couldn’t find it). \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was able to get Emerson to sit down with Harper for a picture. \u00a0I was trying to get Avery in the picture as well; however, she has a mind of her own and had her costume off before we could even snap the picture.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We all had a great time and are already looking forward to dressing up and going trick or treating again next year!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
