Halloween Adventures

I LOVE Halloween at work. As you can tell we really get into it, everyone dresses up, some teams do themes (like Wizard of Oz, Toy Story, Glee). Seriously, even our even the CEO dresses up for the Halloween party where all the employees' little kids come dressed up and go from desk to desk collecting sugary treats. (We all know that most of us will later snack on or share any leftover treats with our co-workers, so it's a win-win either way).
Heidi was all dressed up as a Polar Bear, but people have said she looks like a cat, a dog, and Princess Leah.

As is our custom, we try to pack as many things in as possible into one day, there is just so much to do. When traveling down to Salt Lake to visit family, weddings, ect. It is almost like going on a three day vacation (slightly less packing but essentially the same basic things). We have to get up fairly early to get ready. Next we get the baby ready-since she is happy with her normal routine this slight change in normalcy often includes a lot of "Eeeew Gross" and "No! No!" and "I want apples!" Then we have to have a few spare changes of clothes, toys, books, jackets, dolls, snacks, any and all medications, (very important that one). And if we are lucky (and misread the clock and think we have time) Heidi Anne will let us do her hair before she wiggles and messes it up. Finally, there is the drive, if we are very lucky she will take a nap, if she doesn't take a nap...well...then the rest of the day is not as much fun as we had hoped it would be.

So we got to SLC with all the right things (Que the choir music) to visit my sister and get Heidi all dolled up. While we were getting ready Heidi Anne got a hold of a old camera that Rebekah had laying around. Heidi started taking pictures of Kay Kay, getting different angles, it looked they were playing photo shot. My favorite was when Kayla stuck the prettiest pose, Heidi put the camera to her side and said "Now Kayla, Be cute", I couldn't stop laughing.
For Halloween the were a Lion (Kayla) a Tiger (Rykken) and a Bear (Heidi). The two girls got all dressed up but Rykken warranted to take a nap for some reason, (geez infants). So we got all packed up to go trick or treating and our Princess Heidi was turning into Miss Grumpy Girl (no nap time). Just as we pulled up to our destination-it rained, and rained, and maybe snowed. Plan B was to go to the Mall to trick or treat inside, however that was packed. So we cut our losses and got Heidi to sleep. But it's okay-Heidi Anne still talks about how much fun she had fun going to Bekah's and playing dress up with Kayla. When the girls were all dressed up, makeup, hair, tutus, the works, they were spinning and dancing around. I swear the living room looked like an off Broadway production of CATS-I bet it the show we got was more entertaining too. :)
