i don't know about you, but for us halloween marks the beginning of the holiday season. everyone knows i LOVE holidays, especially now that we have added a few kids into the mix. on friday we were invited to our first holiday party of the season. it was so fun, the kids had a blast and ada especially was so excited to get into her costume. she takes these things so seriously! lias was dressed like a frog for about the first 10 minutes of the party, then stripped himself naked.
ada insisted on wearing eye-shadow, and seeing that i don't own any, we thought face paint would do. eye shadow? how does she even know about these things? ada proceeded to ask me how old she will need to be to wear make-up and guaranteed me that we would be fancier than me when she was a grown-up. i can't wait until she is 14...ps- doesn't ada look like a little athlete? too bad she is wildly disinterested in anything the least bit "sporty".
eat the peep off the string without using your hands!
li did not like the peep. he caught (read-shoved it into his mouth with both hands) it, promptly spit it out, turned to me and asked for a lollipop! ada had her first lollipop when she was 2. elias ate two at this party. have i mentioned that i am not going to be nominated for any parent-of-the-year awards? monday i am making dentist appointments for both of the kiddos!
sack race!
ada being made into a mummy!
li's prized possession was a brand new bottle of water i gave him. his clothes were gone, his shoes were gone, but he never let go of the bottle. "just like mommy's drink" he kept saying to me! ah, to be young...
So fun! I love the costumes ... and naked Lias (Clara also loves to be naked ... and then talk about it). Ada does look like an athlete. You never know, she may be decide she likes sports ... or she may just stick with princesses, fairies and makeup! I think you have an athlete in Lias ... and who knows what the little one will be!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun party! Happy Halloween! xoxo
