thinking ahead..

Fall has been in the air lately.. 

the cooler nights..

school buses in the neighborhoods..

and Halloween costume catalogs in the mail.

We have been talking about what the girls want to be for Halloween this year,

I am giving up & letting them choose for themselves.

We were taking a walk last week when I asked them the first time..

Maddie said "I want to be a ghost... no I want to be Glinda the nice witch." 

(she is obsessed with the Wizard of Oz)

Josie, who I think was just naming things, said "a bee.. no a worm."

The next few days the catalogs came in bunches.

Of course the first one we opened had a Glinda costume.. 

Maddie is set on that.

Josie is going back & forth between a sheep and Dorothy (this is all them choosing!!)

.. at least she gave up the worm idea.

Like I said, Maddie has been very into Wizard of Oz lately.

She loves the movie, I thought it would be too scary for her, but guess not!

For Maddie's first Christmas (I think 1st) she got a pair of ruby red slipper's. Now that they fit, she wears them everywhere that I let her, and usually she is carrying "toto" along with her.

Although this is one sad looking Dorothy.

...that's better :)

A few funny faces from Josie..

she just cracks me up.

& some sissy love to top it off.

I can't wait to see what they decide !

xo.
