The McKay Family: Hapy Halloween!

Hope you all had a very Happy Halloween. I know it was a BIG two days for our girls. Yesterday the girls had parties at daycare and Taylor got to fill up her Hello Kitty Halloween basket from trick-or-treating around the different classes at Village Kids. Seriously I haven't seen so much candy come from one little Halloween bucket. Taylor's was filled to the rim and it wasn't even Halloween night yet?! This morning we were planning on going to a pumpkin patch with a hayride and a mini petting zoo...well that didn't happen because of the nasty weather. It rained most of the morning putting a damper on our original plan. Once Caroline went down for a nap, Taylor and I headed out to get some errands done and then the next thing we knew it was almost time to get dressed up for round TWO of trick-or-treating!
I am thinking that this is Taylor's favorite Holiday. She LOVES candy and let me tell you it has NOT BEEN EASY trying to keep all of it away from her. We did a good job of keeping candy out of her diet for the first 18-24 months but she now knows exactly what it is and just can't get enough. As soon as she wakes up in the morning until the last minute she is awake she is asking if she can have some more candy because her belly is hungry. Seriously?! I think her belly is saying please no more candy. She must be confused or just hasn't figured out that those are not hunger pains :)
As for Caroline, she only got to do a little trick-or-treating tonight. Poor Caroline is still fighting that ear infection from two weeks ago! We had to take her back in on Tuesday as she had pink eye again and ear infections in both ears. The Dr. gave Caroline a medicine that didn't really agree with her little body and she ended up refusing to take it. We were back at the Dr. on Friday for another check. Her ears were still infected and they put her on a different med and said the next step would be to see the ENT since she has had so many infections within the last year. With all that said and with the rainy weather, we didn't keep her out too long. Plus she was totally ready for bed and was fast asleep by 7---now that sounds like a good night to me! :-)
The girls looked adorable in their costumes and better yet, these costumes were already paid for!!! Taylor was insistent that she be a PINK princess. Luckily we already had a "dress up" princess outfit that Taylor could use and Caroline wore the giraffe costume that Taylor wore two years ago. Hard to believe that it has been two years Taylor fit into it? Can you see the resemblance? I put a pink bow on the giraffe this year for Caroline. She totally didn't get the whole trick-or-treating thing but she still looked adorable as did her big sis all dressed in pink!
