Can you believe these crazy girls are going to be TWO tomorrow? Birthday post forthcoming...

We've had a festive weekend around here. The kids received two packages from Grandma Amy. One we're saving for the girls' birthday, but the other we opened right away and it contained THESE

The word "excitement" doesn't even begin to describe their joy over these Yo Gabba Gabba dolls. They've had so much fun with them, and there's only been a little bit of fighting over who gets which one :)


It's cold enough for hats and mittens now, and the girls are quite perplexed by the whole mitten thing. Zahra is distressed by it, but Penelope mostly think they're interesting and weird.

Ready to play outside!

 We had our annual neighborhood Halloween party, which is always so much fun. Moin made these Halloween cupcakes based off of a cupcake video Quinn has been obsessively watching online for the last few years. No, really. So, not a surprise that Quinn helped out quite a bit.

I made the hot dog "mummy's"

Quinn chose this as his halloween costume this year. Obviously he hasn't seen the movie Scream, but he wanted to be a scary ghost and when he saw this at Target he thought it was the perfect fit. The girls are terrified of it, so he can only wear it when they're not around.

I re-fashioned Quinn's 3-year-old Elmo costume to work for me and Moin wore his scary mask that he wears every year. This year he added a baby's head in a jar, which was a nice touch.

The girls were asleep for the party, but they will get to trick-or-treat on Wednesday so look forward to pictures of that as well!
