Halloween Candy and Other Sweets

Ollie and Mama had all sorts of Halloween plans today and we were getting ready this morning with a big wholesome breakfast of Halloween bagels when Zadia's mommy called and said "hey, you guys wanna come over and hang out with Zadia today while I go pick up a new baby at the hospital?" Okay, well, it wasn't quite as easy as that for her—she actually birthed that baby with no pain killers—but a quick 4 hours later, Aiyana Eden, the sweetest Halloween treat ever was born:

And meanwhile, Ollie and Mama and Zadia and her Uncle Jude had a fun-filled day:

First there was dance class in the morning.

Then naptime. (Hey, you try getting two excited toddlers to sleep anywhere but their strollers.)

Then time to get our costumes on and go out for some parading and candy. Ollie was a monkey this year, rather appropriate since that's Papa's nickname for him and also he eats at least 2 bananas a day.

Uncle Jude was in charge of dressing Zadia.

At the parade, we ran into Ollie's friend Milo, who was also a monkey! They seemed a little non-plussed with each other.

However, Ollie was very excited to see this costume since he's obsessed with backhoes and diggers. 

Then our little monkey practiced some climbing.

By the time the trick or treating hour arrived, little monkey was so tired we had to head home. Papa was pretty bummed we didn't get him some loot, but it was still a good day.

Tomorrow more posts of our Halloween escapades over the weekend.
