The penguin misplaced her Halloween treat bag, and had to substitute her medical bag to collect the goodies.
Trick-or-treating at the mailbox. She didn't get much from this stop.
The kitty cat and the penguin would not hold still. Not during their professional photo shoot last week, and not on Halloween night. As a result, these are the best pictures we have of the girls in their costumes.
They did have fun, however. We went to far more houses this year than last - all the way down to the end of the street this time, instead of just to three houses. There were a ton of kids out in the neighborhood, which took me by total surprise (we had to close up shop by 8pm because we were out of candy), but the girls did really well not being too frightened by them. Kate had the "trick-or-treat" thing down very well, and even Claire was able to get her point across. At one house, I told her to, "say trick-or-treat", and she said, "teat, peas!". No tricks for her.
Tim is gone now, deployed for a good portion of the month. Oddly, they call all trips to the mid-East "deployments". It's sort of confusing; I tell people that he is deployed, and they get this pity-party look, and then sort of scoff when I tell them he'll be back for Thanksgiving. It is the longest that he has been gone since the girls have been born, but I'm pretty sure we will survive. The house is an entirely different matter. He has been gone for two whole days and already I have lost all power to the girls' rooms. I tried flipping the breaker, and unplugging several items, but to no avail. Even my neighbor is perplexed. Awesome. Whatevah, they don't need power in their rooms, do they?

It always happens when you are alone. They looked cute in their costumes, even from afar :0)
Wait. Who on earth scoffs at a pregnant mother of two kids under three whose husband is deployed for ANY length of time to the Middle East? If he was only gone for ONLY ONE DAY, you should still be entitled to some measure of pity. Grrrr . . .
Cute costumes! The mailbox picture was hilarious.
That SUCKS that you are by yourself for so long! Pregnant, two kids....geez....I can imagine your pain!
I don't know WHAT IS UP with that power issue. STrange!
Oh, and they call going to TUCSON a deployment in these parts (RETARDED!) Yea, my husband is deployed. He's drinking beer at a sports bar in Tucson....
