Twenty Questions

I saw a cute idea on pinterest some time ago, about doing a video series of questions with your kids.  The idea was to do it every year on New Years Day, or on their birthday. But, hey, there's no time like the present. Even if we are still eating dessert (pumpkin ice cream, which is supposedly her favorite).

So here is Maia's video.


I actually found myself surprised by some of her answers.  For the last 2+ years, her best friend has always been Claire, or Claire plus another random friend. For the last few months, it's been Claire and Ben and Olivia.

I tried some questions with Parker, and didn't expect much success.  Maia had a hard time not helping. He certainly gave me a lot of unexpected answers!

So. It's clear that Parker liked Pirates that day. Eat them, drink them change our name and be them when we grow up!

Halloween

The kids always do a "Halloween Parade" with the rest of the daycare through the nursing home. I was pleased that they managed to stay dressed through the whole thing this year!

In the evening, we bundled up a little more, and Maia decided that It'd be better to bundle under her Merida dress than her fairy dress. Parker was fairly easy to bundle. So we headed over to my sister's.  Ade made his own Tron Legacy costume. It really glowed and had a disk mounted on his back.

And we're off like a herd of turtles.  Maia getting all the good tips from Lydia.

One lovely advantage of Parker's costume is that the yellow stripes really had reflective material in them; so he was very visible.  The kids did very well, but we didn't stay out all that long.

Having some candy. Sharing a hairline.
