I See Ghosts

The babies are ready for Halloween. They even picked out their own costume. Can you guess what it is?

Having twins is a form of entertainment in and of itself. And like most babies, they are much more fascinated by the "non-toy" things in their playroom than by the actual toys (despite having a playpen FULL of toys). The towel is one of their favorites, due in part to its versatility I'm sure. It can be a costume, a cape, a game of peek-a-boo, a tent, a blanket, a tug-of-war rope, a pillow, or a fan (with a little help). My personal favorite is the "tent" where we all sit down and huddle underneath it...then laugh hysterically as if no one knows we're there. Occasionally I catch the babies doing this together on their own but they are always too quick for the camera.

Due to the small safety issue of not being able to see, I don't think the babies will actually dress as ghosts this year (although I think they think half the fun is bumping into things). I am looking forward to introducing them to their first trick-or-treating experience, but somehow I think they will be much more excited about walking around freely (sans the stroller) than getting candy...at least until they've tried the candy, then all bets are off.
