Halloween Fun

For the girls' first Halloween, we decided to dress them up as monkeys. It pretty much describes them right now by way that they climb all over our house. Our good friends, the Raykiewicz's, host a Halloween party every year so we brought the girls to show off their cute costumes.

When we first arrived, the girls sat perfectly still so we took that opportunity to snap some photos. Madison is on the left, Melanie on the right.

Since we all had to be in costumes we had to go as one unified front. So, Al and I went as bananas.

About a week ago, Al's cousin, Ed, tried snapping some photos of the girls in their costumes too. This session was not so easy. The girls were all over the place. Plus, once the costumes were on it's like they forgot how to stand and crawl correctly. It was kind of funny watching them topple all over the place. Here are some outtakes.

Melanie is all over the cereal puffs that we put in the bowl on their favorite toy. Madison has forgotten how to stand.

Trying to crawl. Not really working out.

Madison has her pouty lip out and Melanie is going for a puff that daddy staged.

Thanks, Ed for trying. It's not easy to get these two to sit still for a photograph and then to get them to smile.
