First, here are some pictures from Halloween! Violet's preschool class all dressed up in their costumes and did a "parade" to the other classrooms. It was so cute! You can see Violet who is about 3rd in line. She was one of about 10 other witches in her class :)
With her friend Isak listening to stories.
We also carved pumpkins - Violet got really into drawing out the face and getting all ooey-gooey!
Halloween! Our little witch and purple bug. Willa looks very annoyed here, which was pretty much true for the whole idea of trick-or-treating. She didn't want to walk so she spent most of the night being held by me going house to house.
This is how we roll! (notice the 6-pack in the back of the wagon!)
Trick-or-treating with our most awesome neighbors and friends. This is their daughter dressed as Fufa from Yo Gabba Gabba.
The loot!
Silly girls!
Violet and Willa spend many minutes (I wish I could say hours!) playing a game I call "Naps." It involves Violet putting Willa down for a nap in various places with various forms of a pillow and blanket. Willa actually really loves to play along. This is how I found them the other day. Violet even had on her apron. A regular June Cleaver, that girl!
Here is Willa "napping" on the doll bed.
The first snowfall! Willa loved it!
So did Violet!
Willa has been learning new things all the time lately. In one day she did a somersault, learned to stack blocks (see picture below) and picked up about 10 more words.
Today Jon raked the leaves and the girls had a blast throwing them and jumping in them.
Speaking of words, we are so amazed by how many words Willa knows and learns! Her favorite one is "stuck". In the morning when she gets up at 0-dark-thirty (usually 6am), I stumble out to the living room with her, snuggle her up on my lap, cover us both with a blanket, and turn on some cartoons for her to watch. That usually keeps her happy for about 1/2 hour and then she is kicking off the blanket saying "Stuck! Stuck!" She then walks into the kitchen and gets a sippy cup from the drawer and brings it to me, which means she wants her morning milk. So silly!She still doesn't really say Violet yet, although if you ask her to say it she says SOMETHING, but it's funny that she hasn't figured out a word to call her yet. She has picked up the lovely habit of yelling "NO!" to Porter (poor guy!), but on the other hand if she wants something she says "Pease? Pease?" for please.
