halloween 2012

This picture is from the Trunk or Treat on Saturday. It's the best one I got this year...poor Faye has been sick with croup, so Halloween usuals (pumpkin carving, seed roasting, dressing up) all went out the window. Instead we snuggled on the couch this week enjoying the cooling weather (CAN I GET A HALLELUJAH!?) and trying to get better. Daddy was really disappointed bc he really wanted to take her trick or treating...so we went to a few apartments in our complex and boy! did she get the hang of taking candy fast! It's like kids are born knowing how to work it. Even her scratchy-throated "Thank you" was just so down right adorable, she usually got another candy just for saying it. People are suckers for tiny polite children dressed up. :-)
Maybe next year...

fishy!!

Faye won this tiny fish at our church's "trunk or treat" party on Saturday. Our first family pet! She talks to it all day long, "fishy! hello fishy!" It's quite cute. I asked her if we should name him Octavius, and call him Gus, but she yelled "NOOOOO! Fishy!" So I guess that's his name. :-)  Brad even bought fish food, so I guess we are now invested...we will see how long it lasts!
