Halloween... better late than never?

Yeah! Finally I put the Halloween pictures up now that we are half way to Thanksgiving. Such a slacker. Davis was insisting on being a cowboy again this year, but then he changed his mind when we were talking about it at preschool. Normally, I wouldn't welcome the change, but I was excited to get him something else. He chose Spiderman and didn't take it off for a few days. Here he is mastering his webbing skills. Chase was spiderman, too, so they were perfect partners in crime... solving. =)
Gabbie was our little Dalmation puppy. She loved the trick-or-treating once she caught on. She insisted on carrying her own bag, which was difficult when it started to get really full. She would also linger and stay awhile whenever we went to a house who had a dog, too. She LOVES doggies!

Lovin' her dolly!

Gabbie got this doll last Christmas but hasn't really shown interest in her until recently. She loves to carry her around, hug her, feed her, and take naps with her. She likes to give the dolly to Bob or me and we take turns holding her and loving her, then Gabbie takes her back and rocks her and pats her while she's saying, "oooh, baby." So cute.
