It's Starting to Feel a Lot Like Halloween

It's our first Halloween with all four girls, and I couldn't resist a theme for their costumes. Megan was agreeable, after many viewings of The Wizard of Oz, to dressing as Dorothy. Bridget decided to be the Tin Man and the babies put their heads together and picked the Scarecow and the Lion to round out the foursome. The little Tin Man costume is Mop's special creation, and Bridget loves it!!

Our first chance to dress everyone up came today, for Megan's preschool Halloween party and parade. I had no idea that all of the teachers and staff at the school had also chosen a Wizard of Oz theme, but it was perfect - there was even a yellow brick road leading into the classroom. And, Megan's favorite teacher, Teacher Tiffany, was dressed as Dorothy, too. That didn't help Megan's cause in the stalker department.

Before we left for school this morning:

This was also Bridget's first chance to see Megan's school, and she loved it. She insisted on walking in the parade, too. Here is Teacher Tiffany leading both Megan and Bridget through the parade:


They even set a plate out at snack time for Bridget:

That left Matt and I to take pictures with the babies:

We also spent some time on the circle time mat reading and exploring the classroom:

I'm at work cleaning one costume that was peed in - lovely.

And, we're looking forward to the real deal trick-or-treating!
