The Ladies McGurr Love Costumes!
Happy Belated Halloween to one and all. The Ladies McGurr really enjoyed Halloween this year. Maddie was so excited about her costume. I've never seen her look so proud.

Maddie told us what she wanted to be for Halloween and we went with it. She kept saying she was going to be a ghost, but she was just teasing. She still keeps asking "What does Maddie want to be for Halloween? Thomas!" She already has an idea picked out for next year. She wants to be a strong man. It's a long story. So, if you are hanging with Maddie over the holidays, Halloween costumes are a good topic of conversation. Or ask her to sing the Rainbow Connection. That will keep you entertained for a long time.
Bettie originally wanted to be Little Red Riding Hood. Then she thought a ghost, but then decided it might be too scary. We went to the Halloween store to look at their costumes. Big mistake--what do you say to a three year old when she says "is that a real three headed baby" or "what happened to that guys arm" near a display of fake limbs. She was not interested in anything there. We talked about it a bit and she decided she wanted to be Max from Max and Ruby.

The costume was very homemade and most people did not know who she was, but she enjoyed the experience. And she certainly was not shy about saying she was Max. She has already decided she wants to be a really obscure character from Thomas next year. Good luck with that Betts.
The girls love the fall with all the leaves and pumpkins, but now that they understand that Halloween is also in the fall, they love it even more. Maddie is not into candy, but still loved going door to door. We did not go many places. Although our apartment complex is huge, we don't know many people and the girls don't need too much candy.
We expected to get a lot of Trick or Treaters because we have tons of kids around, but not many people showed up. The girls and Daddy had to entertain themselves.


On Saturday we went to see Sue and Dan in Urbana. Sue is very into decorating, so the girls wanted to check out her yard and have a visit.

We have also done the other typical fall things--visited a pumpkin patch, went on a leaf walk on the Ohio State campus where there are all sorts of interesting leaves. Since we lost our digital camera for about a month, we don't have any pictures of those fun things.
We do, however, have pictures from one of our favorite new playgrounds. It is not too far away from our house in a really nice neighborhood and the girls love it there. As our parting shots, here are some pics of the girls in action.
