Early Halloween

Friday night the kids and I went to a Halloween party at the YMCA - and I think overall everyone had a great time. The first trick was trying to get Annabelle into her costume. She wanted nothing to do with it. First we put Cole in his thinking that she would think it is cool (she wants everything else that he has) but this time she wasn't really falling for it. Then we told her that it was just like her jammies which helped a little bit. The final push was telling her if she put it on she would get candy (which oddly enough she is excited to get but won't eat it) and to see Katie, who is a good friend and Annabelle really likes her. She was finally dressed and in the car we went. When we got to the YMCA she was excited but as soon as we walked in the doors she told me she wanted to go home. I am not sure if it was all the people that made her uncomfortable or what it was and she never really warmed up to the whole thing. I think she had a good time but she looked a little overwhelmed and did not wander to far away from me, which was ok too. Cole was a trooper and tagged along as well. He only slept for about 30 minutes at daycare so he was not in the greatest mood and only lasted about 10 minutes in the stroller and then had to be carried around the rest of the night. Annabelle played a few games and did get some candy - which she kept trying to give back, give it to other little kids or kept trying to feed it to Cole - she does such a good job sharing :) On a side note the tv is still "broken"
