Mary Had a Little... Popeye?

Ahhh, Halloween is finally here and Mom is satisfied with this year's costumes. Adeline is obsessed with Mary Had a Little Lamb, so that was a no-brainer. Cooper's costume was already picked before he was even born.
Cooper made such a great Popeye, not to mention a good sport. He didn't exactly like wearing the hat, but once he saw all the attention it got him, he grinned all evening.
Stepping out in her finest frock, Mary totes her lamb in her trick-or-treat tub.
Adeline calms Cooper's pre-trick-or-treat jitters. "It's o.k. Cooper-Duper!" she said.

Crown of Cobwebs

At Adeline's preschool, they had a Halloween Parade in which all the kids paraded around the school in festive headgear and collected lots of candy.
Here Adeline & Oscar look on as I unwrap a piece of chocolate candy. Goodbye sugar-free innocence!

Cooper Reflecting

"Tummy Time" is fun once you put a mirror in front of your face. Hey handsome, I know you!

Dancing With Myself

Just add tutu!

Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids to a real authentic working farm / pumpkin patch in Petaluma. Adeline picked a green pumpkin for herself and a small striped variety for Cooper. Aside from the pumpkin-picking, we took a tractor ride and ate homemade ice cream. Adeline passed on the animal-petting and cow-milking.
