You would think that since a photographer has been taking our pictures for the past 2 months (long, interesting story that I will tell and show photos from at some point!), that the girls would be good at getting their picture taken. But no, this photo was like pulling teeth to get:

They mostly looked like this at first:

We took the girls around the block in their super cheap pirate suits and they were so excited, yelling "Happy Halloween" to everyone. Seeing them dressed alike really did make them feel like one clump of a child, which was strange and sad. Sad because a lot of parents of twins do this and I think it must really hurt their ability to see their children as individuals.

We didn't get much candy because we only stopped at 3 houses and our own door man gave them some, but when we got in, Anya thought she was supposed to eat it all right then. Rachi ate her small portion happily, but not Anya. She screamed and kicked because she wanted all of it! It made me wonder if one is born with food addiction or if she was actually just hungry. It is strange to see these two children, identical to people who don't know them, act so completely different in the face of a ghost bucket of chocolate.

"How can you tell them apart?" people ask me. Next time, I will answer... "You got a candy bar, I'll show you."
