Happy Halloween!

Naomi and Eliza are the cutest babies in the entire world... especially when they are dressed as the tortoise and the hare!!! How cool is it to have twins on Halloween? Oh the costume possibilities - Thing 1 and Thing 2, Two Peas in a Pod, etc, etc, etc. Anyway, we loved the idea of having our babies dress like adorably soft animals. I found the turtle costume online and l-u-v- loved it. And that's how we settled on the tortoise and the hare.

Today, we visited Gramma Dot, Aunt Mimi, Aunt Doris, Uncle Bob and Aunt Edna, Gram and Grampy, Uncle Shan and Aunt Annie, Becca, Aunt Lib and Uncle Dave, Claire, David Jr, Ellie, Annie, Mamaw and Poppy, many of Mamaw and Poppy's neighbors, Aunt Becky and Uncle Todd, Andrew and Jocelyn, & Aunt Annette. The girls were amazing - we started at 2pm and got home after 9pm. They smiled and played the whole day, even in their costumes. So here are some snapshots from Naomi and Eliza's Trick-or-Treat World Tour 2008.

Naomi = bunny, Eliza = turtle

All the pictures of the girls on the bench were taken at Gram's.

Here is Naomi patiently waiting to trick-or-treat at Gramma Dot's house. Yes, she is sitting shotgun in the Subaru.

Eliza didn't mind waiting - she got to sit in the driver's seat.

Our last stop was Aunt Becky and Uncle Todd's house, where we decided that it might be fun to have the tortoise and the hare actually race on Aunt Becky's beach towel... Look the tortoise is winning!

I don't know if anyone won the race in the end. After all, they only know how to scoot backwards. Neither baby can crawl forward yet. However, they are super cute when they get up on all fours and rock back and forth.

Baby Bath

Tonight, the babies discovered that they could sit up in the bath... yikes. I already leave the bathroom soaked each night after bath time because last month they learned how to kick water up and splash mommy. They think they are soooo funny. Anyway, here they are sitting up in the bath. I have a feeling that we are going to have to move to the big tub.

Eliza (look at her chubby tummy stick out over the tub divider... both girls are actually sitting pretty far up because the bath seat reclines back)

Playing in Argyle Sweaters

It is finally cold enough for the babies to wear their sweaters. This Sunday, they looked especially cute in their argyle sweaters and plaid skirts.

Bedtime Again

More pics from bedtime... Eliza is on the left and Naomi on the right. (FYI: the babies are the same height, but Liza is standing up taller in the bed.)
