trunk or treat

i really couldn't wait to dress up my little lady this year. she origianally was going to wear a bunny costume that my mom made, but that was packed away in storage, and i don't have have the will power to look for it (so next year). in my brief costume hunt i came across this little get up and thought it was so cute! we decided to make a baby pirate gang so jessica and kelley got their little babies pirate costumes too. they were all so cute!

all four baby pirates!

i think...

My main goal is to get that stupid sandwich post out of my sight and to look at something a little more lovely...

and then on to waterford.....

We went to this old civil war town in waterford, va. the whole town takes one weekend out of the year and completely dresses up as they would have back in the day. they put on a huge festival with food, shopping, street performers, and everyone is in costume. It is really fun to see. They have booths with all things handmade and it made for a great Saturday.
