They take after their daddy!

I dont' know if some of you know this but Doug LOVES Halloween.  Any excuse to dress up in weird outfits and try to make people pee themselves with either fear or humor.  He is a funny guy.  Well the girls, as it turns out, are the same way.  Isabel and Alexa LOVED Halloween.  They tired quickly, which was fine because they can't eat the candy anyway, but they really enjoyed running around from house to house.  We were trick or treating with a group of kids, 14 in all, and all but one of the kids were older than the girls.  So the way it is done down here in So. MD, is you ride on a trailor that is decorated with hay bails and lights etc pulled by a tractor and then they stop at clusters of houses and all the kids jump off, and trick or treat at the houses closest together and then run back over to the trailer, and off we go to the next cluster of houses.  At the first group of houses, Izzy looked confused, she wasn't sure what all the commotion was and even more confused as to whether she wanted to run off with them.  Lexa on the other hand, she was off the trailer and running towards the first door before I knew it.  She wasn't sure what she was doing up there, but wanted to be in the middle of it anyway!  By the second group of houses Izzy wanted to go up to the houses, but she wanted to go with Mommy instead of Daddy, so we switched animals (the girls dressed up as a giraffe and tiger!) and I soon discovered that while Alexa was into getting into the houses and seeing what was happening up close, Isabel was happy just to be running and playing to and from the houses.  At the 3rd or 4th stop the girls were all done, they wanted to get some water and go home.  Perfect.  Hope everyone had a fun Halloween, here are a few pictures from our night:
