Halloween

As you can see, the girls got matching costumes. We like to stock up on costumes on Halloween for the dress up box. Anyway, Evelyn didn't know that Hannah had the same dress. We dressed Hannah up and sent her out to see Evelyn. She screamed! In her own words she describes the moment,"When Hannah came out, I just like screamed and I felt like there was a spring in my throat. I was so surprised!"

Hannah decided literally last minute that she wanted to be a witch. With a quick visit to the dress-up box, her wish was granted!
Our friends let us borrow a Darth Vader Costume for babies, it was really cute with a cape. Really, he just kind of looked like a baby in black with a black cape.

Arte de Evelyn

I've posted some of Evelyn's drawings before. I just love them. We have some in frames in our house. They are so imaginative and some are very funny.

This is Evelyn's "The End" picture. I think it looks like an opera singer. Very dramatic. She must not have been getting along with Hannah this day and decided to make Hannah like a sharp-toothed fish person.

She made this one a year ago, it says Mommy.

I love the jeweled crown on this one.

This is our family. See William down at the bottom?

This one just makes me laugh! It's something different every time I ask her. There are a thousand stories that could be told with this drawing!



The Queen.

This one SHOCKED me! It's a Spanish lady, but it says "'ole" at the top. I didn't tell her how to spell it and I didn't even know she knew that Spanish ladies said "'ole." She even put a little apostrophe by it.
I later looked in a book that Evelyn likes and there is a small picture of a Spanish dancer with 'ole written next to it. I believe that's where she got it.

Yee Haw!!

Life is always more fun when Ben's home. Here he is dancing rodeo-style with Willman.

Oh to be a child. . .

This is how Ben served the girls pancakes the other day. Hannah was a little worried about eating it.
Evelyn and Hannah have been getting ahold of the camera lately. This is one Evelyn took of Hannah.

Hannah took this one of her doll. I love how she posed her on the chair.

Our little mummy Hannah.

This video makes me laugh. Evelyn eventually puts her doll in an "xray" under a stool and Hannah comes and looks through a hole in the stool and Evelyn wonders whose big eye it is.

Happy Birthday to Evelyn!

Evelyn has been very kind today and thanked us for such a wonderful birthday. Thank you to such nice grand parents and aunts who have been so generous to her! She was very sad last night that it was her last night of being 4 years old, but she's accepted the change well and today is excited to be 5.

Evelyn made her own cake. She said it is an artist cake, since she is an artist.

As you may know, Evelyn has had an imaginary friend, Spanish Lady, for some time. Now she gets to dress like her.

A very nice accessory kit to go with a nice vanity

Evelyn said her birthday was her best because she got everything she's ever wanted! Thank you everyone!

Da da da da

Ben gleams and glows when William says "da da." It's pretty cute. (He said "ma ma" a long time ago)
