Halloween

Camden the Cheeseburger and Maddie the Strawberry!

It was Madison and Camden's first Halloween out trick or treating!  Daddy had off too!!  I was soooo excited to go out with my family!  Most of you know I live in a neighborhood where the houses are literally 5-6 feet apart... sooo... it's PRIME trick or treating!  They even have someone out directing traffic!! craaazzyy!!!
Anyways..Maddie was a scrumptious strawberry and Camden was a super cute cheeseburger... They walked from house to house.. and did an AWESOME job going  up to the door and getting the candy and putting it into their bucket!!  I was super impressed.  Maddie got a little scared with some of the costumes but bounced back pretty quick.

It was soo cool watching the twins learn the fun of Halloween.. I felt so blessed tonight.  After Mike brought Camden in for the night Maddie and I went back out for more.. having the best time!  When we came in.. Maddie told Oliver and Bella "No!" if they went near her candy! haha!

Hope everyone's Halloween was as amazing as mine!!!

Pictures

Every year I get the twins pictures done.  When the twins were born we found this a-mazing photographer named Chi.. who blew my mind with her pictures.  Well... today was the day for the twins 2 year pictures.  I scheduled them with Chi at least 6-7 months ago, and needless to say.. I was super excited!!  We set it up to do it at the North Charleston Riverfront park.. Great!  I thought things were gonna be great.. super perfect area.  I went yesterday and bought Camden and Madison super cute outfits to wear.. they both had converse. (love it!)
I woke up early this morning.. got everyone ready.. we got there.. we took our first family picture with her ever.. then..... disaster.  Camden was pretty decent at first.. they wouldn't stand still.. they wouldn't sit, they wouldn't play on any of the structures.. Madison was throwing tantrums every few minutes.. Camden just wanted to run!  It was not the ideal situation for pretty pricey family photos.  Chi was nice about it!  I was mortified.. I never wanted to be "that mom".. you know.. the one that can't control her kids!  Today.. I was "that mom" ..

Eventually... we gave up.. and decided to let the twins run and play on our way back to the cars.. well.. that didn't happen either.  :(  When we got to the car.... Madison was laughing and talking and playing... go figure!!  So help me.... say a prayer to the picture gods.. that Chi got SOMETHING good ... She's a miracle worker.. that's for sure... till then.. enjoy 2 of my favorites from Chi's photo shoots in years past!
