Grace got all dolled up again this afternoon --- sunglasses, hat, skirt, high heel shoes, and two purses --- made the outfit complete.
If only you could see the high heel shoes. It's so true that the shoes make the outfit.
Today was a gorgeous day to drive with the top down on the Mustang.
Since it's November and we won't get this opportunity again for several months, I thought I'd document it.
We met Leslie at Lapping Park today to have the kids' pictures taken.
She tried a lot of different poses and several different places in the park.
They were having difficulty remembering to look at the camera when they said CHEESE, so I told them that Elmo was in the camera. I told them that if they smiled really big, Elmo might come out to see them. Here they're cheesing as hard as they could while studying the camera.
Grace did not like being up on the big stump.
Gabriel kind of liked being the King of the Mountain though.
I can't wait to see the finished product!
Have I said that Grace is Little Miss Independent?
She wants to change her OWN diaper. Haha!
If she gets this down pat, we're not going to bother potty training. Why would we?
After dinner the kids asked for a piece of Halloween candy. Do you see what they chose?
Grace did not seem to enjoy hers so much. It was really difficult for her to chew it, and she was not patient enough to lick it until it was gone. 
Gabriel enjoyed his sucker.
We trick or treated in Grandma and Papaw's neighborhood. This was the best Halloween with the kids! They really understood what trick or treating was all about.
Yes, Folks, this is how we roll. Tony pulling Dan in the wagon. Don't worry . . . it didn't last long.
My baby walked up to every door by herself and said, "Trick or treat."
Gabriel was very good about saying "Thank you" after he got his treats. Grace, however, was more excited about looking in her bag each time. She often yelled, "Thank you," as she was walking away.
There were lots of trick or treaters out last night.
About halfway around the block, Grace's bag was so heavy she couldn't carry it. So we dumped her candy in the wagon. She rode with the candy for a few houses to get a little rest.
Back at Grandma and Papaw's house, Tony and Crystal checked Grace's candy for anything that might be tampered with.
Gabriel checked out his loot while Daddy did a little quality control.
Here's the REAL quality control check. 
I cannot even guess how much junk they ate last night! But, hey! Halloween only comes once a year!
Our new trick is to order Domino's Pizza on the computer. Gabriel loves to help pick out the toppings.
Daddy cut a slice of sausage, spinach, and red pepper pizza for Grace.
She loves pizza!
Gabriel enjoys his pizza too.
Grace was a Bumblebee princess.
Gabriel was Lightning McQueen. Seriously, in his mind there was NO CHOICE what to be for Halloween.
This is a picture I took of Grace Sunday afternoon when I put her down for her nap. She was SO excited about her new bed. She just giggled when I tucked her in and kissed her. She had no problems at nap time --- no crying and no getting out of bed.
Now that Grace is officially 2, we decided that it's time for the paci to say good-bye.
So we attached her favorite paci to some helium balloons.
And away it went.
Come to find out, she was upset about the balloons going away and not the paci. Whew!
Bye-bye, Paci! Wish us luck!
Because we celebrated Grace's birthday last weekend, we kept her birthday very low key yesterday.
Daddy bought her some cupcakes at the store. After dinner, we invited Grandma and Papa over to sing Happy Birthday to her and share cupcakes.
She blew out the candle so fast that I couldn't get a picture of it.
Gabriel didn't seem to mind that we celebrated Grace's birthday twice. As long as he gets to eat cake, he's happy.
