Wow, it's been way too long since I wrote! The Burns' house has been under the weather/travelling for the past month or so, which is my excuse for the long drought of posts. But as a friend of Tyler's says, "Excuses are like bellybuttons. We all have them." Ahem.
Elle & Kate went trick-or-treating for the first time this year! Last year I think they were asleep for most of it. Not this year. They were big fans of their costumes - especially Elle, who would laugh every time we put her ladybug hood on her.
We They got tons of candy that
we they will surely gobble right up.
Our Their favorites are raisinets and gobstoppers.
We stopped by our friends Ang & Josh's house for our first trick-or-treat and the girls had way too much fun digging through their candy basket and then throwing the candy out of said candy basket. They still have a few manners to learn.
Then we went trick-or-treating with some new friends from our neighborhood and their little girl and our good friends Shane, Jessica and Campbell the Duck. The girls' costumes were a hit and they thoroughly enjoyed going door to door and didn't even fuss when they ate dinner an hour later than they usually do.
Oh, and they hung out in our church's pumpkin patch on Sunday morning for a few obligatory fall pictures! Pictures of all are below. All in all, it was a very Happy Halloween!

 |
| Elle looks like WAY too much of a big girl in this picture! |
 |
| Getting ready to go! Elles in the picture are more excited than they appear. |

 |
| So a duck, a dalmation, a monkey and a ladybug walk into a graveyard... |
 |
| Despite our attempts to clarify that Kate is indeed a girl monkey by putting a bow on her ear, people still thought she was Elle's brother. |
 |
| Here, I believe Elle is contemplating how her world might implode if someone were to take that Twix she has a death grip on in her hand. Seriously, she held onto that thing until it was mushy and chocolate was seeping out the sides. |
