Halloween on Birch Street

This year, Elsie and Jess's big cousins Ethan and Owen shot out for the weekend before Halloween. Trevor attempted to hand down surgical skills to the next generation.
The results of the kids' efforts.

CHOOO! CHOOOOOO! TRICK OR TREAT! GIVE ME SOMETHING GOOD TO EAT!For their costumes this year, the kids chose the costume that follows their current obsession. Elsie is Sleeping Beauty, as she is fascinated by all things princess. There are times when she will only answer to Sleeping Beauty and will correct you if you refer to her as Elsie, even during prayer. And Jess has been fascinated with Thomas and all trains since last February. So much so that everything he plays with becomes a train, even if it's Elsie's doll stroller. Not a day goes by that he doesn't get to play with his train set.

This video is of breakfast the next morning.



True to their words, Jess has shared his candy, and Elsie has proceeded to organize it by shape, size, and color, hardly eating any.

Those pictures of Lotte are too much! That fuzzy head and big eyes! She looks completely like a snug-bug and I wish I could cuddle her!
