Halloween and Garden Gallop

We lead a low-key life, so for us...two big events in 24 ours is livin' large!   It started with an awesome Halloween party.  Zoe had been having a super rough day.  Every thing was upsetting her, but the minute we got to the party, she mellowed out and had a great time!  Proof that a change of scenery is sometimes the perfect thing for fussy babies.  That and candy.

Pre-party snacking.  My camera is goofy, BTW.  Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.  Its set to Auto.

Superman has super-doughnut-eating skills.

Barkly's a Hot Dog!!  Yes, he is!

Playing tag.  Looks like he's about to take off.  

Zoe spent the party with a very sweet Princess Leia.

Even in this perfectly ordinary snapshot, I think, "Wow, she's perfect"

The boys are ready to Trick or Treat!!

The next morning Jeff and Zoe slept in while Ethan and I braved the cold for some 5K fun.  Ethan braved it more than I did.  I waited in the car with the heater running.

Gearing up.  

Pre-race ninja poses.  I think this is going to be a thing.  (See what I mean about the camera)

It was THIS cold!!

He he...he's pretty awesome, too. 

And then later she put her coat on all by herself and was so proud!  (I  didn't have the heart to tell her...)
