Mrs. Peacock, In Lexington, With the Candy

Isn't that just the cutest little peacock you have ever seen? Halloween is definitely Ari's favorite holiday so I told him that he could pick whatever costume he wanted for Claire... we have to have a little fun while we actually have control... and this is what he found. Strong work hubby!! We headed down to Lexington to spend Halloween with Sarah and Brian since they were hosting a party and we didn't plan on taking Claire door to door. Ari was one proud papa showing Claire off to all the trick or treaters. Remarkably... I don't know why I say that, Claire has been amazingly tolerant of all her parents stunts... she loved the outfit. She didn't try to take of the cap or her little booties. She just crawled all over the place like it was a normal day. Ari and I eventually changed into our costumes: bacon (Boca of course) and eggs. I actually don't have a picture of that; hopefully someone will send one. Our peacock was a hit at the beginning of the party and then pooped out at bedtime. I also pooped out just as the party was really getting going. I did get to enjoy all the food Sarah and Holly worked so hard to prepare, though, before I called it quits. In the morning, Claire was all smiles and we realized why she has been having some rough nights... 3 teeth are coming in! Just in time, I was getting ready to google "baby dentures!" We went to brunch at Alfalfa, home of the awesome chocolate chip pancakes, and discovered that Claire loves grits and oranges. I guess we better mover south!! After watching the morning football games we packed the car and headed home. What a great weekend!! ***Please note as you view the slideshow; no candy was actually eaten by our little bear, it was a prop only!***
