Halloween

Adele is a Princess. Samuel is an unwilling superhero.
Didn't want the boots or the cape.
Finally I distracted him with some Baby Einstein. See how it's a wonder pets cape? (It's actually Adele's cape that she got from a birthday party).


Adele was very specific about how she wanted her pumpkin carved this year. Last year, we carved these fancy pumpkins, where Danielle made Cinderella, and I did Prince Phillip.

All year long, she was saying how last Halloween, she wished she could have a pumpkin with two eyes and a nose and a mouth. All that work, and really, all she'd wanted was a traditional jack-o-lantern! So this year, we were sure to get it right. Specifically, she wanted triangle eyes, a circle nose, and a curved mouth with teeth. Thank goodness she wanted these more simple designs. All we had to carve with was a butter knife.

Then she wanted Samuel's to have triangle eyes, a triangle nose, and a curved mouth with NO teeth.

Aaron took the kids to a science museum on Saturday (Halloween).
He and Adele entered a pumpkin weighing contest. She wanted to put down 40 lbs., but he encouraged her to write 5 lbs. They came in at 2nd place. She won a prize, she picked coke bottle glasses. She was excited that they would match her doctor set glasses, and that she and Samuel could be able to wear them at the same time.


Me: "I will get the camera if you will get your toothbrush and start brushing your teeth." Hence, the picture of the glasses while she is brushing her teeth. Wasn't hard to get Samuel in the picture, he climbs right up on the stool with Adele when she brushes her teeth. He loves to be involved. She is good at sharing (with him) and never pushes him off the stool or complains about him being there (like she does with Dawna).
