Here comes Thomas!

BOO! What an amazing Halloween we all had, starting with Daddy's jack-o-lantern, which Evie requested we make really scary this year.


On the other side of the scary spectrum, Ellie's cupcake costume! Aw, she looks so sweet I'm getting a sugar high just looking at her!

Evie and Mommy had a fun time trying to get her to laugh for Daddy's photography session.


Then it was off to the Del Ray parade with - SURPRISE - Thomas the Tank Engine! Daddy and Mommy put together the costume using a box, a little spraypaint here, and little decoupage there... and viola! Everyone's favorite train, but Evie's in particular!

And who is her trusty companion?!? None other than Sir Topham Hatt, of course!

Evie was the hit of the parade - everyone recognized her, and would call out "Thomas! Thomas!" Evie began to wave to her fans like a regular beauty pageant contestant. People even came over and wanted to take her picture!

Mommy is attempting to be Lady Hatt, Sir Topham Hatt's wife, but ended up looking slightly like Mary Poppins instead. The parade was fun but the best part was the pumpkin frozen custard from Dairy Godmother.


The next day was Halloween, and the family headed over to Lee Street, an Old Town tradition. Evie was a very good sport about donning her Thomas again (since she said she was a little sore from the day before). But Daddy helped carry the box so it was a little easier, and once she got moving she was unstoppable.


Ba, Opa, and Ellie the cupcake joined the festivities. Ellie was wide-eyed and taking it all in.

Thomas on the go! He's #1!
