All Hallow's Eve

Harper's first Halloween wasn't too special, thanks to me. At first we were going to dress Harper and Parker in some kind of "duo" costume. Our ideas slowly deteriorated from grandious aspirations of dying our babies' hair hot pink and azure for Dr. Seuss "Thing 1 and Thing 2" to just drawing a sun and a moon on a couple of onesies and calling them "Night and Day". Eventually, probably in an attempt to subdue our 'creatively underacheiving mom' complexes, Lindsay and I decided that first Halloweens weren't that important anways. I mean, then can't even eat candy, after all, so what's the point? Then I found an awesome 5$ baby motorcycle jacket and decided that I would be James Dean, and Harper Baby James Dean. This didn't happen either. Luckily ever-festive Aunt Tawnie came to the rescue by inviting us over for pumpkin carving. Harper just couldn't keep her hands (or mouth) off of the pumpkin innards and kept sneaking handfulls of the orange, stringy goo into her pie hole. As you can see from the following photos, Harper's Halloween costume degraded into a couple of spooky stickers on her cheeks. I'll do better next year. Promise.
