Halloween (and Dev's bachelorette)

We moved to our new apartment in mid-October. I'll post some pix of the new place soon. It was a LOT of work, and still is a lot of work trying to unpack and find places for things. But even though we're still surrounded by boxes, life goes on! We had a very big weekend on Halloween weekend. The Thursday before was my friend Dev's bachelorette party, then Halloween on Saturday, and Devorah and Spencer's wedding on Sunday (see tomorrow's posting for wedding pix).

For the bachelorette party, Eva (lead singer of my band, Making Dinner) had the brilliant idea that we should all be fairies and Devorah would be the fairy queen.

On Halloween, we let Rosa decorate her first pumpkin. She got to use a Sharpie - no knives this year!

Since I got to keep the wings from the Fairy Bachelorette party, when I found a little tutu dress at a second hand store, I decided to reuse the wings and that Rosa and I would both be fairies for Halloween. I love dressing up too, and while people still think it's cute, I love dressing Rosa and I in the same costumes, just like we did last year when we were both bunnies!

Here comes a whole bunch of pictures of extreme cuteness - I know there's no need to post all of them, but I can't resist!

I love this one because the little pumpkin from "Great-Grandma" Betty looks like it is glowing! It's Rosa's little fairy orb.

The street just around the corner from our new place has tons of kids on it, and they closed it off during Halloween afternoon for a block party.

Rosa got to experience her first time in the Jumpy Castle, or Jupiter Jump as Jeff calls it. I went in with her to make sure she didn't get crashed into by any bigger kids. She LOVED it!

Rosa loves any and all tricycles, bicycles, big wheels, etc. She gets so excited to try out any of these that she sees. Thankfully everyone is generally good about sharing. I think a tricycle is in our future!
After the block party, we took a quick trip over to a nearby street that is known for its Halloween decorations and trick-or-treating. Rosa didn't really get the trick-or treating idea, and shied away from taking a piece of candy at the one house we went to. Not such a bad thing maybe! But she'll probably love it by next year.
