Happy Halloween!

Well, sort of. The boys refuse to wear costumes this year. Sam has been saying for weeks that he didn't want to be a pumpkin. We must have really scarred him last year. Even though we told the boys that they didn't have to be what they were last year, they remained obstinate.

The best we could do is get them to wear name tags to trick people into thinking they were the other brother. And even then, not really. Sam refused to wear his yesterday at Amelia's party. And today, we had to bribe them with the promise of cookies to wear the stickers. And these are kids who love stickers!

Nice sunglasses though.

But if Sam and Otis refuse to dress up, no problem. Because Carrie and Amy F are more than willing to pick up the slack and dress up ... as Sam and Otis!

The preparation for last night's party at Sean and Rebecca's. Perfect.
