Halloween Happenings






We do have a second daughter, but as oldest children ourselves, we can't possibly love a non-eldest just as much so we don't take her picture. Actually, she was probably already to bed when caramel apples were being consumed and just out of range with pumpkin picking. Kit is as adorable as ever and most of the time on the move and always drooling and almost always delightful. We cannot say the same for our eldest in the latter case who, as a three year old, is many many things but not always delightful.

She does, however, constantly surprise us. On Friday, Elsie's two year old teacher Ms. Charles was wearing a platinum blonde wig at school--it surprised us when I dropped Elsie off and we heard from Ginger later that Elsie was scared of Ms. Charles and the wig. When David picked E up from school, he inquired about her day and while she reported on the pumpkin patch, party, and pizza, she didn't mention the platinum wig or Ms. Charles. David asked her about it and if she was "scared" of it. She stated matter-of-factly: "I wasn't scared, Daddy, it just made me feel a little nervous [pronounced nerbous]." Of course, not scared, just nerbous. She is never at a loss for words, that Elsie... Her parents are, more often than not, speechless.
