Happy Halloween

Roger was suppose to be home from Alabama to go trick-r-treating with us, but things didn't work out as planned; he didn't get home until 3am. So I went up to Rogers' sisters' place to go trick-r-treating with her kids.

Getting ready to leave, making a few adjustments.

I made Kami's costume. She had a lady bug costume, but with her in the carrier no one would be able to see it. So I developed this ingenius idea to create a costume that would combine me and her as one. Can you guess what we are?

I was going for a Fire Lily, whether you can tell that's what it is, is another story. The flower looked to plain without the black flames sprouting from the center, so I taught myself how to applicea'. It's all attactched with a button and pins to my shoulder. I really felt like I was jumping off the deep end with this idea, but all-in-all it turned out pretty cute.
TRICK-R-TREAT

At this house, the gentleman handing out candy asked Nikholi if he had a trick for him: Nikholi paused, then started dancing, picking up his knees really high and said, "Booga Booga." (Leave it to him for some great improv.!)
Here's something I found scary:

PSYCHO BABY! (another Shaylee)
After we walked around a neighborhood filled with mansions, Nikholi's bag was more than half full; honestly I don't know how he carried it. So to kill some more time during the time designated for trick-r-treating out here, we went to a Christian Non-Denominational church for some activities and a Trunk-R-Treat.
Past Kami's bedtime, she was slowly fading.

Then passing Nikholi's bed time, he gave me a tantrum... when I caught this picture though it look like he was running from something:

But really, he should have been running from him:

ScArY!.!.
We really made out... and had a great night!

Check out all that chocolate with my name written all over it!
I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!
Love,
The Marini Family

ah so cute! Thats a great idea about including the baby carrier in the costume! Seriously, you should make them and sell them, I'm sure there is a great market for that around Halloween time!
