Halloween

I have decided to keep the details of our meeting/session private.  I will say it was an emotionally and physically exhausting day for myself and for Jaelah.  I will also share that while there were no breakthrough moments at the office, we have noticed a difference in Jaelah this weekend....clingy, whiny, very anxious and agitated.  My miraculous moment of her breaking down seeing these images did not happen....on the contrary her wall was visibly built even STRONGER....Sigh....I can't even wrap my brain around it anymore... I'm feeling very defeated.....

Yet amidst all these tough moments we continue to muddle through and I know your all dying to see some Halloween pics so here they are....
Jaelah and Jae-min sporting their Halloween outfits before costume time.  Do you see that hair bow??  Made especially by yours truly!!!!  I've been dappling in making hair bows lately and Jaelah likes wearing them so its a win/win. 
Here they are....Little Luigi and a bumble bee.  Jae-min has a slight obsession with Super Mario on the Wii and wanted to be "the green guy Maaweeegi with an L" is what he told everyone.  Jaelah is sporting Jae-min's costume from last year.  We weren't sure how successful it was going to go for her so when she saw the bee costume in Jae-min's closet and wanted to try it on, it became a no brainer....another busy bee!!!!
They were excited to get started.  Jaelah got alittle freaked out at one house with scary music and from that moment on, only wanted mommy.
Not Jae-min though.  He rocked that trick or treat thing down to the bone.  He loved every aspect and wasn't scared at all.  He seemed to enjoy the atmosphere in the neighborhood and dove in head first!!!  Jaelah liked getting the candy....and then could be heard saying "mommy home" till the next house.
We came home to check out our loot and of course these 2 are the stars of the street so they even had many special gifts from neighbors to look through.  We all got to try 1 piece of our candy and then the doorbell rang.  And look who it was........
Yup, the Easter bunny paid us a visit on Halloween.  I thought Jae-min was going to fall over!!!  Then the questions came "why is the Easter bunny hopping around on Halloween????"  Parents on the spot came up with a great story of how the Easter bunny was making sure everyone was only eating 1 piece of candy tonight.  And Jae-min's response "whoa, I'm glad I was following that rule"  Phew....almost got caught by the Easter bunny!!!!
Halloween was fun.  We have a great neighborhood and neighbors which makes a night like this one so  special!!
