yesterday was halloween and it was the first halloween that eli was so excited about. he had been asking for days prior if the big day we here yet and he waited and waited and waited as patiently as a three-year-old can wait for a day in which he knows he will be given massive amounts of candy.
when i got him from school yesterday we came home and i fed him a quick dinner of pancakes with syrup because who doesn't want their kids to have sugary sweet carbs before heading out to collect more sweets (i was thinking about convenience last night, not health). we got finn ready first - eli kept saying, "i'm so excited to see finny in his costume!" sweet big brother. then came the pirate costume complete with a mustache and beard (just like daddy) courtesy of my brown eyeliner.
we met our neighbors outside - a traditions in pineville tradition - and off we went! these kids were so cute!
