We curled Sadie's hair for Halloween. I thought it would be nice to do something different with her under that big witch hat. I tlooked good when we left the house, but by the time we got out trick or treating, it was over. Even with all the hairspray, it didn't have a chance. Oh well, at least I have pictures to prove it. Sadie didn't like sitting long enough to curl it, but she loved looking at it in the mirror. her famous words "Oh My Hair!" That usually means she thinks it looks silly.
Halloween finally came! Sadie has been so thrilled for Halloween this year. She didn't really choose what her costume was this year, but she loved it from the moment we showed her. Any time someone asked her what she was going to be for halloween she would say "I'm a be a WITCH!" She wanted to wear it everyday. We finally had to hide it from her. Out of sight, out of mind works really well with her. We went 
to a ward halloween party on Saturday, she loved that, "look at all the fantastic costumes", she likes big words. She enjoyed doing trunk or treat and it was a good prep for the real thing. For Halloween we went to grandma and grandpa's house to
go trick or treating around their neighborhood. We would get to the door and she would get gun-shy, she would hardly squeek out trick or treat and thank you. The she 
would race to the next door and ask, "we do more tick or treat?" as if we were going to pull the plug on it.
She wasn't really digging the hat either. 
We would make her put it on before she went to the door, but as soon as she was done, she would take it off again until we made her put it on at the next door. The hat totally made the costume, but she didn't get it. Next year, no hats, whatever she dresses as.
We had fun, and Sadie did too. Can't wait until next year!
The cooler weather is here, the leaves have fallen off the trees... Oh wait, we live in the dessert, there are NO trees!
No trees, and everything around us is in flames! Yep, it's fall here!
Here in the Escher home, we're gearing up for Halloween like never before. Ever since we bought Sadie her pumpkin pail for trick or treating, all we hear about is 
Halloween. Sadie wants to watch every Halloween show, and constantly wants to look around the neighborhood at all the halloween decoration on the houses. Last year, she enjoyed trick or treating, but this year, and I quote "I love Halloween, it's my favorite!" We can't wait for it to be over.
I thought it would be fun to take these photos for fall, since we didn't get the chance to do Sadie's 2 1/2 pictures. She never really smiles for me, but I think thay turned out so so.
