Our Multitasker

This is how Stella drank her milk the other day. 

11-11-09 stella can multi-task

Stella drank her milk from her cup all while her pants were falling to her ankles.  (Have no fear she drank the milk dry!)  Stella shuffled all around the kitchen until it was gone.  I guess she figured the pants would just fall down again so there was no urgency in pulling them up?  I don't know.

Happy Halloween

For the first time I had one child very determined as to what he was going to be for Halloween.  In the past I was always able to kind of persuade the boys into being something that I thought was cute.   Well, not this year.  Carson decided long ago that he was going to be Bat-Man.  There was no changing his mind.  I threw out many other ideas as to what the four kids could dress up as, but Carson had his mind made up.  As my husband reminded me several times, Halloween is for the kids, not me.  So, I gave in.  I thought we could be the total superhero package, but then Owen decided he was going to either be The Incredible Hulk or Scooby-Doo.  The Incredible Hulk definitely fit better with the superhero theme so that is who he was.  Isaac was Robin and Stella was Wonder Woman.

We trick-or-treated in our old neighborhood for a short time then came back to our new neighborhood for the remainder of the evening.  It was a good opportunity for us to introduce ourselves to our new neighbors.

Trick-Or-Treating

Isaac and Stella cruising in the wagon.

All kids did great trick-or-treating.  It helped that it was 65 degrees that night.  Stella and Isaac cruised around the new ‘hood in the wagon.  By the end of the night Owen was so tired he asked if he could just lay down in some random person’s yard to take a rest.  He trucked home in the wagon with the babies.

The night is over and they are still smiling.

Hey Bat-Man, where are your eyes?
