Last night was a whirlwind trick-or-treating experience! After no nap - "I'm too excited!" - I got Evan dressed in his Diego costume and put gel in his hair. Uncle Stu came over and we took a few quick pictures. And then off we went to Poppa's work place. Evan trick or treated and even made a caramel apple! Then we went to Bellevue Square and Evan went around and got candy from some stores. But the entire time he asked for a balloon from the balloon maker - the lines were so long! In the end, Poppa and Evan stood in line for the balloon while Ellena got a bottle and played with the grandparents. I took over on balloon duty while everyone else went to get a table at Red Robin. I think we waited for an hour for that stinking balloon. After a yummy dinner, we came home and did a quick walk around our neighborhood. I hope the kids sleep in this morning, but El has been squirming a lot in her sleep. And that is why I am up at 6:30 and trying to get her to stretch it out to 8. :)
Evan's costume: I made his cargo shorts and vest. He had a blue tshirt that he's wearing backwards. We got him a rescue pack, Grandpa got him a watch and we found the Animal Rescuer patch on Ebay.
Ellena's costume: Poppa found a kitty costume on Ebay ($4.99! The Diego patch was more expensive!!) I bought some animal print material, cut the spots out and glued it on. It didn't look like much on the hanger, but that girl can make anything look cute. :) It also looked HUGE on the hanger, but she filled it out quite nicely.

Funny thing about our backdrop - Evan received a Diego blanket for his birthday. One side has a rainforest design, so we hung it behind us. Ha!
