What a wonderful Halloween! Aside from all of us being struck with the stomach flu -- even Nana and Mimi! -- Halloween was great! These costumes made their way all over town -- to the library, the Del Ray parade, and the occasional family dinner. Unfortunately Ella was sick for her preschool Halloween party, but with all the other festivities going on, I don't think she missed it.
My beautiful, beautiful butterfly.
With Nana at the library. This is only hours before coming down with the stomach flu. Apologies to all those who attended the Halloween event at the library...
Butterfly at ballet.
A caterpillar and a bat, just hanging out.
Halloween giggles.
The whole motley crew.
Enjoying the parade from Daddy's shoulders
Pretty good costumes
Our very sensitive butterfly would have preferred if the parade were a little quieter...
Nana showed up on Halloween wearing a witch hat. Ella proceeded to wear the hat for most of the morning.
The grand finale - trick or treat!
So... when we took out the stroller for trick or treating, Brian discovered a number of canned goods in the bottom of the stroller. Two cans of sardines, a pack of smoked oysters, a can of sockeye salmon, a can of crab meat and a can of smoked tuna, to be exact. We wondered whether this was some sort of practical joke. We called Nana and Mimi to ask if perhaps they left their groceries in the stroller. But Ella solved the mystery. She informed us that she bought these items when she "went shopping" while we were at Trader Joe's. These items were promptly returned to Trader Joe's the next morning. Next time Ella, could you at least chose an aisle aside from the smoked fish aisle??
