And everything that goes with it.

Pumpkins:



Story about the pumpkins: my sister grew these in her garden and gave them to us about two weeks before Halloween. The girls were so eager to carve them that we did so within days of receiving them. And...they rotted well before the big day. We got a second round of pumpkins from my friend Rebekah and carved them in the morning before trick-or-treating. They're still looking good.

Dressing up for Halloween:




We have here a lion, a unicorn and a fairy princess.




Did you know that it's just about impossible to get three little girls who are VERY excited about costumes and candy to all look at the camera at the same time? These pictures are the best we've got. Take my word for it, they were cute.

And playing in the park before winter takes Oregon in its clutches and traps us indoors for days on end:



And, finally, it's time for another round of Guess the Baby. Same family, same park, similar pose...but which of these was taken yesterday and shows Evie, and which was taken almost exactly two years ago and shows Lucy? Leave your votes in the comments.

The top one is Evie and the pink coat is Lucy... hopefully :-)

this game is easy.

I'm guessing the top one is Evie too. They're both super adorable, of course!

And a little trick about preserving pumpkins (courtesy of Real Simple magazine): smear the inside of the pumpkin with vasaline. It's a MESSY, thankless job, but our pumpkins are still glowing.

Bottom one is Lucy! Boy, are they cute!

Jen Rouse said...

Yes, everyone is right--top is Evie, bottom is Lucy. Apparently they didn't look as much alike in those pictures as I thought :)

I love the costumes! All three of them. Evie is Beth was a beautiful unicorn and I Love the fairy princess complete with Hawaiian lei! Really cute! And yes they do look alike we are just a very smart group of people!:)
