Happy Halloween!

Daniella helped pick out her first pumpkin. She dressed up as a China doll in an outfit Grandma Lepinski bought her from Houston's China town. We didn't have any shoes or socks that matched so she stood barefoot on a blanket for pictures. She is somewhat scared of touching the grass with her feet, so she didn't try to walk far.

Trent marked the pattern on the pumpkin and it started to cry.

Daniella was not impressed with the pumpkin "guts".

She much preferred playing with the large spoon instead.

The top was not so scary after the "guts" were taken off . . .

. . . it even looked quite tasty.

Jack was happy to be complete. Daniella also was able to try on a lion costume given to us by my old supervisor. It was a size 18 month costume, so I was a little surprised it fit, but she made a cute lion. I almost didn't dress her up in the costume because I've been telling her how only male lions have mane, but she doesn't really know the difference between male and female yet and it was just fun to see her all dressed up. I analyze things way too much.

It was adorable watching our little lion crawl around the apartment . . . "Roar"
