Happy Halloween and Winner...

Today was Angelina's school Halloween party.
They get all dressed up, and basically have a party all day,
and then they got out early.

Of course, Zoe would never let me leave the house
without letting her dress up as well, so get dressed up
is what my little girlie pirate did.  With mom's help, of course!  ;)

As soon as I put that eye patch and bandanna on her she yelled,
"Argh Me Matey!!  I'm a pirate!"
Bwahahaha!  I cried I laughed so hard!
What a comedian I have.  :)

Once we got to "sissy's" school, Zoe was jumping up and down
with excitement.  She loves to visit her sissy at school.
It's really rather adorable to see her light up at the thought
of seeing sissy at school, or picking sissy up at school.

There were some really fun costumes in Angelina's class...
here is her entire 2nd grade class dressed up...

What amazed me most was right after this picture was taken,
Angelina and her friends swarmed around Zoe.  They accepted her.

They gushed about how cute she was.
They talked to her like a normal kid, instead of like a baby.
They laughed with her, and hugged on her.
Zoe beamed the ENTIRE time we were at sissy's school.
My eyes filled with tears many times throughout that 2 hour event.
So many priceless moments.

This moment for instance.  This moment that I just so happened to capture while the kids
were doing their parade throughout other classrooms.
Tell me how adorable this shot is!

IMG_0606

Seriously.  A*DORABLE!

I think daddy needs to get his gun ready, because Zoe seemed to be holding hands
with this little boy, whose name is Drew...

IMG_0613

But he was going by Tom Brady today.  ;)
I seriously thought this was so cute.  He was looking out for her.
Making sure she didn't fall down.  He begged Angelina to have his turn to
hold Zoe's hand.  LOL!  Angelina allowed it.

IMG_0616

But, she of course was holding Zoe's other hand.  ha!

I think little Drew is going to be a heart breaker, for sure! 
I mean.  Look how cute he is!

IMG_0657

And man is he polite!  His parents are training him up right!!
But, Drew.  Zoe is a little young for you right now.
Give her another 25 years.  HA HA!

IMG_0598

After the parade, it was time for mass amounts of sugar!
So, into the classroom we went.
Of course I took the opportunity to take more pictures...

IMG_0633

Ummmm...
I love this picture.  Love it!

IMG_0646

It can be hard to get a good picture of my girls together.
Usually one looks great, and the other one has their eyes closed.
Or something like that.

And how about these pictures?

IMG_0647

All the parents died laughing when the kids put their vampire teeth in.
Hilarious!

Before we knew it, it was time for lunch.
But I signed Angelina out for the day, and we went home.

My beautiful fairy...

And my cutie pirate...

Had a wonderful day!

And they are looking forward to trick or treating tomorrow.
That is all they've talked about today.  ;)
