Happy Halloween!

Savannah is a very busy little girl. She is into everything any second that you turn your head. So it really shouldn't surprise you that while I was cooking breakfast this morning, Savannah crawled over, opened the cabinet, took out a container of raisins, opened them up, and started to put them in piles (one pile on top of the other container, and one pile on the floor). Whenever she gets quiet, I know she has done something. And as I was cooking I thought it was awfully quiet in the kitchen!
After a day at home, we headed over to Emma's house so we could trick-or-treat with her and her parents. Emma was a chicken and Savannah was a fairy. Aren't they cute?


Savannah was mostly interested in picking apart the mums.



And Emma was mostly interested in Savannah's wings.

They were a tough pair to photograph!


Savannah really liked the scarecrow too.

Finally, we went trick-or-treating. Savannah rode on Daddy's shoulders, and Emma had her own wheels.


After we got back, we had to check out the candy stash.



And sort it. For those of you that don't know this, Savannah is kind of turning OCD on us. She has developed a sudden obsession for sorting things. Her sorting does not seem to have any rhyme or reason, but everything has to be put in piles. Laundry, candy, the raisins from this morning, toys, cans of food out of the cabinet... Anything she finds all grouped together she will dump out and put in separate piles. Haha! She is also obsessed with wiping her face. She always takes our napkins to wipe her face off. Just the other night, we were out to eat, and she didn't see a napkin within her reach, so she wiped her face on the tablecloth. We'll have to work on manners. :) Anyway, back to Halloween... she sorted her candy...

And Emma ate hers... wrappers and all...



And then we returned home with a very exhausted fairy.


Hope your Halloween was just as much fun!

So cute! Karis likes to put things in piles, too! She will sit for long periods of time putting things in random piles. She could care less about keeping her face clean, but she hates to have food on her hands! We go through like 5napkins a meal because she gets so upset when she realizes she has food on her fingers :) Isn't it funny the little quirks babies have?
Love,
