Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween - Love Miss Bella Bee!

Thanks for much for the fantastic costume Kris and Tony.

Play group Halloween Party

Our Halloween / baking swap party was at Caroline's this year. The parents and kids had a fantastic time - of course : ) Poor Ben, had a fever so we are missing our ghost.

We asked the kids to line up, but apparently they thought it was for a police line up, with them all evenly spread apart. We asked them to get a little closer and this is as far as we could get them... Soon enough Grace and Bell will be fighting the boys off : )

Costumes -
Issac - a Dragon
Grace - a Green Duck
Peter - a Fireman
Sawyer - a bottle of Ketchup
Bella - Woody (from Toy Story)
Eli - an Elephant (not shown is the fantastic padded butt of his costume)

Why..

Bell has started questioning everything..."why, why why." We thought this had started a couple of weeks ago, boy were we wrong. Then, she would question something and be done with it for the most part, and this would happen a couple of times a day. Now, it is a constant "why, why, why"... My strategy in dealing with it, without making myself crazy it to; on the first "why" I answer the question, and then on the second "why", turn it around and ask her "why." Her standard response is "I don't know" - I thought I had a couple of years before we started getting that response to everything :) Wish me luck not going off the deep end in the land of why's...
