Twi-A-Twee

That would be the sound of Chase and Ella (and the rest of the gang) going house to house on Halloween. Although this is not technically their first Halloween, it was the first one where the twins could actually say "trick or treat" (kind of) and carry a plastic pumpkin for candy; this was the first year they "got it". It only took a couple houses before they got the routine down: wait your turn (or, cry and then you get candy by the handful...), say your spiel and wait for them to put something in your pumpkin. That is, when I could keep Ella from "pushing the button" (doorbell) a hundred times and Chase from struggling with the homeowner to be the one to close the door. At least they said "thank you".

And I can't think of a better holiday for a girl who loves to dress up...The theme for costumes this year was supposed to be Star Wars.

Can you tell who is whom?

Garrett was Jango Fett, Blake was Commander Fox, Chase was an X-Wing pilot and Ella...was supposed to be...Princess Leia.

But SHE had other ideas.

True to her I-want-what-you-have-more personality, she managed to take over Chase's pilot helmet and (after throwing a tantrum that she couldn't wear Chase's costume)

settled on an astronaut costume we already had.

Finding the right hat was another story...

I guess it still works with the whole space-Star Wars-pilot thing. It just makes, "And what are you dressed as?" a very difficult question to answer. She's just Ella.
