First Halloween!

Amanda's camera ran out of batteries on Saturday when they were in their costumes, so hopefully they can suit up again tonight and get some good ones. However, here is Veronica as the world's cutest banana to tide you over.



Anyone that is familiar with Amanda's mad banana love (her banana tattoo, her banana parties, her rage when Gwen Stefani's "this shit is bananas" chant took over the airwaves) will not be surprised by the costume choice. And although I wanted her to go as Fay Wray, she actually went as a banana tree... as she did, in fact, grow said banana. Cute!



This is me with V, engaged in one of my favorite activities - trying to nibble on her. Look at her taunt me with those long, precious legs! What a nibble tease.



Here's Veronica with one of her best friends and regular visitors, Sarah Bosco, who also KNIT her this amazing little hat! Too cute for words, not that I won't keep throwing words at it...



For real, look at it! She did such a good job, I love that the little ears are white inside. Plus, (although Amanda will hate me for mentioning this because they've been having small nursing trauma and she's worried V is gaining too much weight too quickly)... I love the Winston Churchill look she's been sporting lately! Those cheeks and that second chin are my favorite things to nibble on!



So like any girl who wants to deflect attention from her chubby face, Veronica will now entice you with the slender perfection that is her foot. Chomp chomp, yum! They look so sweet and pristine next to Shivon's rad ink here, too.



I'm putting this picture in for posterity because Amanda's totally perfected a new burping technique; she bounces V like a bottle of soda pop, and then plops her forward to tap on her back. Amanda also demonstrated this technique at a little Mom Gang she got jumped in on yesterday, what a star.



And now for the unending cuteness to see you through your day... could you just inappropriately squeal in the workplace with the adorableness of it all?! Kathleen put her in this little get-up and then hid her body under a blanket to surprise Amanda with, for a shock of preciousness.

Trick or treat!

how funny... some people i work with said they were going to try and find me a banana costume because everyone calls me hannah banana. i could have been as cool as veronica! well, just for one day, because then i'd have to go back to being boring ol' me while she would still get to be the coolest and most popular girl around. so not fair!
