Olivia the Caterina (when cat becomes ballerina).
Henry the Ghostbuster guy (complete when an inflatable proton pack and an eyeliner mustache).
After going door to door begging for candy for an hour and a half this is what they came home with…
Olivia and her loot. My oh my, what to eat first?!
Henry and his spoils. Dad took them around so Henry gave him first pick.
Happy Halloween!
After a day of playing, we wrap it up with a beautiful sunset. It’s like heaven on earth.
and yes, that's my kids still playing in the water :)
She asked and asked and asked… and asked to go ride horses with Grandpa. The problem is that that she is terribly allergic to horses but I decided to let her go on a ride and then deal with the consequences. I’m not completely cold hearted, she went fully dosed with allergy medicine and Grandma gave as much as possible again after the ride, and the next day. But still, this is how she looked (and it didn’t feel any better than it looks)…
You would think that she would give up on horses but she decided it was worth the consequence (she was hurting but she was so happy) and she already begging Grandpa to take her riding again. Mother knows best... but she can only do so much!
Getting ready to bat.
Making sure he didn't hit a foul.
Running to first base.
Safe on first base.
Catcher.
1st base.
Pitcher (they have pitching machines in Minor B leagues but still have a player cover the position.) Notice the football helmet pitchers get to wear... Safety First :)
In the end, he loved it. He learned a lot, like not being afraid of the ball (we’re still working on that a bit). He made new friends and he had lots of fun. I'm so proud of my Henry.
The second tooth did take its own sweet time to fall out. After a month or so, it eventually did, with a little help from dad as the darn tooth was barely hanging on. I’m not sure Henry remembers to push on the permanent teeth with his tongue but they seem to know what they’re supposed to do and are slowly moving into place. Phew!
This is a picture Caroline took, when Tyler and I went France and Olivia and Henry stayed with Grandma and Grandpa. Henry's was doing homework and Nancy patiently watched over her little buddy. Can't you feel the love?
Yes, my first reaction was “what the…?” Tyler called his mother, who told him not to worry about it, that the baby teeth would eventually fall out. Well, I did worry and I searched the internet, because isn’t it what we all do in this day and age? After finding quite a few posts and still not entirely reassured, Henry’s baby teeth weren’t even loose, I called the dentist, who said… exactly the same thing; to have Henry wiggle the baby teeth and push with his tongue on the big ones and that the baby ones would fall out on their own. Well, He did wiggle them and finally last night one did fall out. 
And the second one won’t be far behind. Now he needs to push on the adult teeth with his tongue to make sure that come where they should be.
After being frozen and completely covered in snow, I thought they would come in but no they made snowmen, large and small.
They continued with a few hours of dressing up and being silly, coming up with hilarious scenarios. It was the perfect entertainment for me while ironing.
They finished their perfect day with a nice hot bath each (I’ll spare you the pictures). It was perfect for them because of all the fun they had and perfect for me because they didn’t argue once. They were best friends all day long.
Henry’s priorities were different. He got decked out in his snow gear and went outside to play.
How is it that he can’t clean his room but that he has no problem clearing the snow off the entire play set?
