Mmmewwwwwwww!

Before I had kids, my favorite season was summer. Now that I have my babies, I love this time of year. Fall. To be even more exact, I love the time from the first of September until Christmas. I'm so excited to have Sloane around this year. I'm also excited to see how Holynd responds to Thanksgiving and Santa. (Too keep the list going, I'm really excited to NOT be pregnant during the holidays... I need a break from getting sick after Thanksgiving. I'd also like to do my Christmas shopping without 100 potty breaks per hour!)

I had a blast shopping for Halloween costumes. It was fun to be able to buy from the infant costumes and toddler costumes. Partyland has been my favorite costume store so far. (Maybe I shouldn't have told!)

I couldn't decide if I wanted Sloane and Holynd to be dressed alike, or be dressed completely different. Holynd kept telling me that she wanted to be something "scare-ney!", but I figured I would use my mom-power one more year and dress her the way I wanted her to dress. ;)

Sloane was our little lamb.




Holynd was our moo-cow. She loved walking around the house saying, "MMMMmmmeeeewww!" If the truth be told, I've had to hide the costume because it was being worn almost everyday.

Now I am busy trying to decide what the girls will get for Christmas this year. I know a lot of people love to have their shopping done early, (which is awesome!!) but I'm a sucker for the Christmas shopping experience. Yes, I love the crowds; I love the long lines; I love the Christmas music.... the list goes on. So, in the Peterson household, Christmas shopping does not start until after Thanksgiving. However, I have tried in previous years to put my Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving and Matt always stops me. Matt loves Thanksgiving and hates that Christmas is taking over the month of November. :) (I'm also debating as to whether or not I want new Christmas decor.... I think I've been pretty good about not spending money on Christmas decorations for the last two years, I may deserve some new Christmas decorations. I'm thinking purple and silver....)

I'll hold off putting up the Christmas decorations just for my husband. I'm pretty sure he's worth a few extra days of waiting.

(Husband, new Christmas decorations... Hint Hint!)
