Happy Halloween!

Worth It In The End...

I always think it will be so fun to do projects with the kids. And it is for the most part. Getting to the end result though is often very challening with Ethan and Chloë. I decided it would be a good activity to make a spooky ginger bread house and for some reason tackled it all by myself. Well I forgot that I would need to mix the frosting and put it into the bags before we could do any decorating. Ethan and Chloë didn't think the waiting was fun at all. We finally got the icing ready and the candy in a bowl ready to go and the kids quickly learned that the candy doesn't stick without icing- once again the waiting wasn't too much fun. But after all the prep work we finally got to decorate! They loved putting the bats and candies all over the house. It doesn't look anything like they show you that you can do on the box but at least the kids love it and are pretty proud of their accomplishment (as I am of mine). Happy Halloween!

Legos!

Ethan is pointing at himself because I asked what his name is and he always points to his cheek as says "E"


Its very serious building with Legos


Silly Chloë was making faces at Nana Julie

Ethan loves the things that Travis can make with Legos... even though sometimes they get broken right away!
