Halloween - Hells Kitchen Style

Sandy and cancelled school won't keep this crew down. They were ready and raring to go. So we went out and did a little trick or treating at the local stores in our neighborhood.

This is the first year that Fia realized that she got candy. Game over.

Many thanks to our seamstress extraordinaire! Auntie Meggy is a magician!

Silly Sausage

We are in the age of true silliness:

- dressing up
- acting like monsters or dinosaurs
- making elephant trains with imaginary trunks and parading through the apartment
- dancing and singing to any piece of music, or theme sing
- playing hind and seek very, very badly
- telling loud secrets

Three is an adventure! Though because everything is so imaginative, she needs a partner to play along. So Antony and I are often wiped out at the end of the day, and negotiating with her to go to sleep.

She is also feisty. Like being-put-on-time-out-10-times-in-four-hours feisty. She is an independent soul (favorite word: self) who knows what she wants. Makes it quite difficult to be the boss!

But you look at this picture and its hard not to melt. This is just what she's like, 85% of the time.
