HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Columbus, Ohio doesn’t celebrate Halloween on a weekend. At first I thought that maybe it had something to do with safety. You know, less hoodlums out on week nights. But then I learned the truth. This city refuses to let anything, Halloween included, get in the way of it’s COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!! Oh boy. Too funny. So needless to say, our Trick-or-Treating was tonight. And what a fun night it was. The girls had a ball! Anika didn’t want to stop! She ran from house to house. Everyone LOVED Anika’s outfit. However, when they saw Avery’s they were less enthused. How dare we dress our child up as a cheerleader for some other college. I mean, really, do any other colleges even matter? I don’t think so!!! At every home I had to say to Anika, “Okay, what do you say?” The response I was looking for was “Trick-or-Treat,” but the men handing out candy said things like, “You need to say, ‘O-H-I-O!’” Another one that we heard a lot was “GO BUCKS!” One guy asked Anika if we (meaning good old Ohio State) were going to win the upcoming game. The look on her face said it all. “Uh…sir…I don’t care about college football, at all. Please just give me the candy that you are holding. Thank you.” Anyway, we had a great time. The girls were too cute. Here are the pictures!

  1. WOW. Ohio is crazy! I love the girls' outfits. Kaycie was an ASU cheerleader at age 3. Everyone here in Arizona LOVED it too :)

  2. Your little cheerleaders are so cute! And I can't believe how enthused those Ohio fans are...my goodness! I'm glad Anika had so much fun. I'm curious to see how much Lainey enjoys trick-or-treating tomorrow!

  3. Holy smokes. That first picture of Avery looks exactly like Anika a year ago. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm gonna show Chad the picture and see what he says. I got a feeling he's gonna agree. Anyway, enough jibber-jabbin' from me. Talk about gorgeous girls!

  4. Ok, so I showed Chad the picture of Avery and asked him who it was. His reply? He looked at me with the smile he does when he doesn't know the name of somebody. Then I showed him a picture of Anika and sure enough, up perked his little head shouting, "Anika!" So either I see the world through a broad, general stroke or Chad and Anika are meant to be BFF's 4 Ever. (Ok, that last part was embarrassing.)
