Halloween Chaos

Oakley, stop crying & put on your costume. It's Halloween & we're having fun... ...this is a picture of Oakley (the elephant) & his cousin Ryker (the spider) on Halloween. As you can see they were both so excited to wear their costumes. We were able to get this one quick photo before they both fell to the floor screaming "OFF!!!". "If you keep your costumes on we can go get candy!!". My sister & I desperately try to convice the children of the benefits to dressing up. Unfortunately we are both so anal that our kids hardly know what candy is.
All the while sweet little Rebekah sits there with her cute bunny hat posing for pictures.
We eventually did get Oakley outside (Ryker opted to stay home). Once on the street we couldn't get Oakley to come back home. He finally caught the jist of this trick or treat thing. "Oakley - are you ready to go home now?"... "NO!!". Of course it was freezing & windy (Rebekah got wind burn on her little cheeks). Once at home Daddy had the great idea of letting Oakley suck a sucker on my side of the bed. I think the sucker went everywhere except his mouth!

The next morning I woke up soaked from leaking breast milk. I brought Rebekah into bed & she peed through her clothes. I desperately wanted to change our sheets, but had an early morning showing (as our house is for sale), & didn't have the time. I quickly made our bed & left the house thinking I'll have to change them later. That night I crawled into bed at 12am so thankful to finally catch some sleep when I realized I forgot to change the sheets...

"Welcome to motherhood" I thought, I'm sleeping on crusty breast milk, baby pee, & sticky sucker - nice.
