We went to the ward's trunk-or-treat party tonight at a Christmas tree farm, and the girls had a blast. It might look like some remote spot, but it was really in a neighborhood. A beautiful, way-beyond-our-price-range (that's a lot of hyphens!) neighborhood, but a neighborhood none the less.
First, we hung out in the car while Jared went to get candy in the store. Charley thinks I'm hilarious.
Katie likes to think deep thoughts and stare out the window. Don't worry; they're only in half costume. The butterfly wings refused to be strapped in.
Here they are at the party, in their full butterfly-costume glory. Charlotte models the front of her costume for us while Katie shows off her fantastic wings. You might notice that for a party, there aren't that many people around. That's because the babies, perhaps having inherited their parents' slightly anti-social tendencies, found a hill and and only wanted to run up and down it instead of participating in the festivities.
Katie gives us a smile. Ahhhh. She's cute.
Charlotte hurries to catch up. Look at her eyes. They're saying "Don't leave me, Mom! I'm coming."
Shortly after all this cuteness, Katie had a meltdown. We decided that she had a cute overload and needed to let off some steam. One can only be cute for so long. She expresses her feelings by putting her Halloween basket on top of her head.
Charlotte is content to hold her basket and (surprise!) smile at us.
Thus ends our first trunk-or-treat. Since we had the previously-mentioned meltdown just before the actual trunk-or-treating started, we didn't get to get rid of any of our candy. Oh well, there's always next year. And by that, I mean we're going to save the candy we bought and give it out next year!

Today is the first time their nicknames Katie Bug and Charley Bug were appropriate. The best part about the costumes was the fact that they were kind of poofy. It provided excellent cushioning for them when they stumbled on the uneven ground. Built in airbags rock!
Very adorable. It would be so fun to live in a place where you actually need those warm Halloween costumes! BTW, whenever I remember to call you, it's either when I'm busy or it's too late for your time zone (like right now). I'll try to remember tomorrow!
p.s. This is Melody. I'm too lazy to sign out of Matt's and sign back in again.
