Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!! We are so excited Halloween is finally here, since we've been plotting these costumes for months!

We love the characters from Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse by one of our favorite authors, Kevin Henkes. Lilly is spunky and loves school, and her teacher, Mr. Slinger, is an awesome example of a great male primary teacher.

So when we found the perfect boots over the summer, we knew this costume was happening!

Wow! That is just about all I can say. Wow.

  Lily is so excited to be OUTSIIIIIIIDE in her boots.

  Heading out to the Town Center to trick-or-treat! They always have a big event with tons of kiddos each year.

 Lily just realized that someone just put CANDY in her purple plastic purse. This.is.awesome.

 Checking in on the candy....

 "Lilly" and "Mr. Slinger."

 Thanks to all the grandparents for coming to trick-or-treat with us!!

 These pictures are actually from Sunday afternoon. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and took some pics of all the kids in their costumes, pre-Halloween.

Happy Halloween!!

Fall Photo Overload

We finally got to go to The Trees this morning! I think Jason and Lily indulged me just to make me stop talking about them. Anyway, I swear every Seattle photographer that I follow has been to these trees recently, and I have been dying to go. They are actually right next door to the pumpkin patch that we went to last weekend, but we had too much fun at the patch to make it then. We had fun and tried not to fall in any tree holes.

Best of all, we brought our tripod and actually got a couple of decent family photos!! Win!!

Speaking of photo overload, tomorrow we are going to our first Halloween party with out PEPS baby friends. We are so excited about Lily's costume! Hopefully she will wear it! Expect pics shortly....

Car Singing!

Lily recently started singing along with music and reading along with books. So cute!

The feet might be my favorite part!

In other news, Lily peed on the potty for the first time this week! (Times, repeat performance today and yesterday morning). Yay....?

This was actually last week. But she likes her potties. :)

Book Worm

Lily has become totally obsessed with books! She has a few that she is really into, and wants them read over and over and over. Her current obsessions: Mo Willems "Cat the Cat" series, "Puppies" and a book we made for her last month, "Lily Loves." We love it! She is learning lots of new words like "Nhino" (Rhino), "nevermind," "EEP!" "Blargie Blargie" and hilarious new tricks, like what a bunny says.

 She and Jason think they are hilarious. And they are!

 Big hug!!

 "Nhino"
