Halloween 2008

Carving pumpkins Minnie Mouse, Elephant, & Gypsy Seth's costume had the cutest padded bum. Hadley really wanted a picture of what her skirt looked like when she was dancing. She wouldn't wear her head scarf that night--without it some people weren't sure what she was supposed to be. Oh well... We had to wait a while for David to get home from work before I could take them trick or treating. It felt like every time I turned around Seth had opened up another sucker from my bowl and was chowing down.


I read one time that sugar highs in children are a myth. I decided that whoever wrote that never had children of their own, or never had the joy of sitting exhausted on the couch after a night of Halloween festivities watching your kids bounce off the walls. (Sorry it's sideways--no idea why and no idea how to fix it.)

Candyland ala Lillian

Lillian wanted to play Candyland with me the other day. I responded that we didn't know where the cards and playing pieces had ended up. She disappeared into her room for quite a while and I thought I was off the hook. Then she tells me she's ready to play and I see that she's colored and cut out a BUNCH of her own cards and has the dollhouse figures ready to play. So we did. I was quite impressed with her resourcefulness!
