Fairyland!

Rock interest must run in families. Ellie comes home from school regularly with pebbles she has collected from the playground. Yesterday I found a huge rock in the washing machine after I did her clothes... I can't even imagine what pocket she managed to hide it in. Budding geologist? Maybe!

Here's something else Ellie and Wes like to do together:Dress up! Yep, those are wings on Wes' back.

Isn't she cute?

Sadie was getting in on the action - pretending to fly in her sleep.

Get out and vote, y'all!

Sadie is ready to hit the polls.

Halloween etc.

Here she is, the little princess, ready to trick or treat

And here is our little giraffe, ready to snooze all evening

Trick-or-treat!
Ellie and her friend Genevieve enjoy giving out candy just about as much as they enjoy giving it. It seemed a little unclear at times if they understood that you don't actually trick-or-treat at your own house. They dipped into this candy bowl several times.
E's school had a Halloween party, complete with cookie decorating...
...and spooky stories read inside a tent
Not Halloween related but here's Sadie
and this is E trying on her new ballet gear - she loves it!
