Happy Halloween

This our first year to participate in halloween festivities, and it has been pretty fun. Until now, Soren did not care about dressing up, and in general was afraid of a lot. Now we have braver children, who enjoyed picking out costumes. Yay! We walked around in a parade with our neighbors and played, simple and perfect!
Adelaide would not be swayed from her plans to be BB-8. I suspect she heard her brother say she should be, and she'll do almost anything he says. I love that she is BB-8. It's what I wanted, but I made sure to offer her heroes, princesses and ice cream as her other options.
My new favorite photo of them! ^

He's always running, and she's always seeing what big kid things she can do. Love them!

The One Day It Was Cool Outside


"Now that I am 4, I can go down the big slide. We'll see what happens." And after 4 tries, he finally made it up two flights of steep stairs and down the slide. If you know my boy, you know he is cautious; the slide was a huge accomplishment, and I wish I could have caught a photo of his proud face. That 2 year old, though. She climbs things before she is probably able to do it well, and tried that slide. She ended up in a tangle at the bottom both times with tears. Next time baby girl.

All Mine

Adelaide: you are bouncy and bright. You make everyone smile and lighten their day.
Soren: You are clever and sweet. You care about others and possess empathy I'm surprised to see in a young boy. You love to be silly and make people laugh, especially your sister.
