Pics that Make Me Smile

These pictures make me smile...

Clara loves Halloween! She chose this outfit herself. The girl has style! She is also giving a shoulder ride to one of her babies. 

This is Clara and Kate hanging out on the floor together just kicking around. Clara had been wearing her Batgirl costume for about 8 hours at this point. 

Kate is the happiest baby ever, evidenced by this picture her teacher sent me yesterday. This is what she looks like when she wakes up from her naps. All smiles. 

When I picked up Peter from school the other day, this is what he was wearing. Who wouldn't pair a yellow tie with a brightly colored hoodie? 

And finally, check out these two expert pumpkin carvers... 

Black Bear

We were at a birthday party last weekend and there was a face painter. She was mostly painting small designs on kids' hands or cheeks. Peter asked for a black bear and she said, "okay, do you want it on your cheek?" and Peter said, "No, I want to BE a black bear."

Here are a few pics of his transformation, including some selfies and the black bear eating pizza. (I tried to get him to have salmon and blueberries -- both of which were available at the party -- for a more authentic experience, but no luck.)
