Halloween 2008

Happy that Halloween fell on a Friday and that we had already celebrated Tom's birthday, we spent all hallow's eve at Lilly's sitter's house! I work with Cecile (picture on the left in photo below); her mother-in-law, Ima Saty (which is the respectful way of saying revered elder/grandmother) watches Lilly in the day. Cecile made a wonderful dinner - we had a nice time visiting and getting excited about taking Toby trick-or-treating. Toby is Cecile's 9 yr. old son pictured below blowing out candles with Tom. His birthday was a few days before Halloween, so they shared a spooky birthday cake. Toby is such a great kid! I look forward to seeing him each day, especially in the afternoons when he greets me at the door to "REPORT" about Lilly's day. (how many times she pooped, passed gas, cried, tried to stand up, took off her own socks, etc.) Ima Saty is carrying LG in this picture. LG just loves her (and I think it's mutual! ) We are so blessed that LG has such wonderful people in her life.



Forever kids, Tom and I dressed up too!



We stopped at all of the houses in their Hope Valley Farms neighborhood. My feet were thankful that the houses are placed neatly, and close together in rows! :)



Garrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhh! (Pirate less threatening when holding a lady bug, eh?)



Here are Lilly, Toby (as a zombie) and myself - (NOTE: Do not put white makeup on chin if you have more than one!) LOL!





The costume was perfect for Lilly. I was so thrilled when I saw this months back since I always call her Lady Bug, or Liddy Bug, or Bug, or Lady Buggers, or Buggers...LOL!





Exhausted bug and inevitable cavities!
