For Halloween this year, we threw around some ideas... Popeye, Olive Oil and Sweet Pea.... Fred, Wilma and Pebbles... but finally settled on Alice, the Mad Hatter and the Chessire Cat. Grandma J/Amba/who knows what we'll actually call her made Kai's tail and ears (thanks!) and Shawn put together his ensemble with one trip to the thrift store (complete with size 8 women's pants - i'm just a tad bitter)... I spent all week looking for mine and still people were like, and you are...??? Guesses included Ma and Pa Kettle (what?!) and someone Irish - thanks to Shawn's green hat I suppose. Anywhoo...we had a great night. We stopped by my parents house to show off the costumes and my grandparents and then headed to some friends' house where they were having a block party. Kai was so good! She enjoyed watching the older kids hit the pinata and ride their big wheels round and round. When the older kids went trick or treating, we got the bounce house all to ourselves and Kai's godfather, Rob, took her for a ride in a wagon!enjoy some pics!

Mommy and Kai:
Saturday night we went down to Shawn's dad's for the annual halloween party... we didn't get any pics, unfortunately, but a good time was had by all!
Tuesday brought election day as we all know! My friend Katie (that I've known since 1st grade!) was in town helping her dad out, so we stopped by her post and kept her company for a couple of hours. It was also her birthday so we took her a special treat! What dedication to spend your entire day at the polls! Don won... so it was worth it! Go Don!
Kai and Katie:
Future pollster??? (she stood up all by herself for this one!)
And finally, tonight we went to dinner with our friends, the Andersons. If you've been reading my blog since the beginning, you know that Kai is a week younger than their sweet pea, Noli. I can't believe how much they've changed in this nine months! It's so fun watching them start to interact with each other!
Besties forever - if only we could look at the camera at the same time!
And... this picture pretty much sums up why i love Annie so much.
Obamadios (totally stolen from someone much more funny than I) for now!

I think y'all looked awesome but Kairi was by far the cutest chesshire cat I have ever seen. I love that picture where Rob is pulling her in the wagon. She looks like she is about to fall over.
maybe i didn't read well enough but how does the falafel fit in?
anyway, if people didn't know who y'all were for halloween, i'd question their sanity. Y'all looked so cute. i'm gonna print that pic and put it on my fridge :)
See ya soon!
