Boo....Hoo!!!

We drove over to the Naperville Riverwalk and arrived too late to see all the artwork. Maybe early tomorrow? (Yeah, right...on a day with football? Not!) We went to Potbelly for a cheap meal and swung by the Super Target to get some groceries. As is tradition we had to check out the Halloween section. We went by one of those treat bowls that lights up with flashing eyes and a hand pops out to scare you and then quickly disappears. Lily was right there when we pushed the button and when the hand disappeared and the scary music stopped....WAAAAAAH! stick out tongue miniNOT a happy girl at all...poor kid. We both thought that she would probably laugh. I mean how do you know at that age that one kind of music is scary anyway...Poor Lily. It took quite a while to calm her down. We let her touch some of the fuzzy kid costumes and look at the lighted small Halloween houses and then she was all smiles. Who knew a kid with a coloboma would love lights so much? I think this year we might actually open the door. Last year by the time I got home we had 3 kids stop by total. It runs from about 3pm to 7pm. I might even dress up devil mini

Oh, Miss Lily, you just remind me so much of my Vivian. Now, what will you dress up as for Halloween? We're thinking ladybug for Miss V, but we're undecided as of yet...Can't wait to see photos of your Halloween costume (but we'd love to see photos in the meantime - wink, wink, Karen! :-) ).

Hannah are you pschic?? Before lily was born I was able to get a ladybug costume at a Gynboree resale church sale. She was a bit small for it last year but this year I think she will fit into it perfectly. Wow! Talk about 2 BUGS in a pod!
