Porcupine on the move, Luke's crazy memory + Zoey gets excited about Halloween
- My mother-in-law is an incredibly gifted seamstress and each year has graciously made the kids the coolest Halloween costumes. One of my favorite parts of October is getting out all the pictures of the kids in the costumes she's made. This year she's really outdone herself with Luke's porcupine costume...detailed pics to follow sometime this month but love this shot of him trying on his costume and tearing around the house...
- Me a few nights ago: "It's going to snow." Luke: "Yay!!"
- Luke: "I have a new friend. He lives in Hayden on Honeysuckle Drive, just like my friends Benaiah and Elias." Me: "How do you know Benaiah and Elias' street?" Luke: "I remember from when we picked them up for the eclipse." (Back in August.) I saw their mama that evening and asked what street she lives on and sure enough, Luke had it right.
- Back in Albuquerque I made a little blue-and-white sign listing out the playroom rules (e.g.: have fun, be nice, share.) We rediscovered it recently and I was going to put it somewhere safe vs the bookshelf where it kept falling down. But the kids told me, "No, it's better that it be in a place where it can fall down. So then we can review on a regular basis."
- Zo helping me decorate for Halloween. She took everything piece by piece out of the boxes and ran it upstairs, placing it where she wanted it. She was soooooo excited to be helping!
Happy Tuesday!
XOXO
