Luciana 365: Day 354

Happy Halloween! :) We woke up before the chickens, sun, roosters, and all other humans of Earth, it felt like. :/ Penelope has been waking up at 5ish every morning, and it's a struggle to keep her in bed, quiet. I hope it's a phase, and that it passes soon. Luciana wakes up alllll night, multiple times again.... But, I know how to get her back down again, so it's tolerable. We just aren't sleeping very well here, yet, I'm afraid. Maybe next year?

Today we enjoyed chocolate peanut butter cup pancakes for breakfast (Papa's specialty), YUM!!

After dinner this evening, we got the girls all dressed up in their costumes and headed out for a little trick or treating in our neighborhood. For Penelope's first time, she caught on pretty fast, and was the cuuuuuuuutest, cuddliest, sweetest kitty cat you ever saw! She would march right up to a door (with Daddy, of course-- he rang the bells) and say "trick or treat!". Everyone was tickled by her, how tiny and sweet. :) Mama pushed Luciana in her stroller, and she was happy just watching all that was going on-- the decorations & lights, the other trick or treaters, and of course, her sister! They both had a great time, we did too, and it couldn't have worked out any better! Oh, except for when P fell down and kind of split her lip. :( She was already saying "all better" by the time we were inspecting the cut (very small, shallow) and was ready to continue running around. Other than that, perfect evening! :)

We came back home, took inventory of P's treasures, and let her eat two things. She was in hog heaven, but didn't persist when we denied her any more than two pieces. We then handed out candy to trick or treaters, for about half an hour, and then called it a night. The girls were awake 45 minutes past bedtime... Let's see if that makes anyone sleep in! (Not. Won't happen.)

Here are the pics. We are biased, we know that-- but oh my goodness, we thought our babies were just too too cuuute! Great night.... :)
