Wish Lists for Mr and Miss E

Mr E
Wears size 2-3T, shoes 6.5 or 7
Dinosaurs that move and walk. Like this one but it doesn't have to be that. Any dinosaur that roars and chomps will be exciting to him, I'm sure.

Miss E
Wears 5-6T shoes 10 (she'd love some red, purple, hot pink, blue, or gold mary janes)
Will almost exclusively wear dresses these days, so tights, socks and sweaters are great too.

Spelling games such as this one:https://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-00456-Boggle-Junior-Game/dp/B00000IWD4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1479144021&sr=8-3&keywords=spelling+games

Calico luxury townhouse (There is a similar one but  ****It would be ideal if it could please be this exact one*** because it comes with things she specifically asked for, such as a modern kitchen and baby stuff which would cost us $50+ to add to the other one that is similar to this one. The other one has an old timey stove that Miss E doesn't recognize as a stove -she already has one like it- and no baby stuff.)

Holiday fun

Yep, another October-ish post in November! Sorry I'm so behind. Although our first holiday in our first home was Halloween, it wasn't very big for us this year. I think we're finally plugged in to a church/Bible studies, judging by the amount of activities we had. And we got to decorate our house for the first time, but I don't have lots of pictures of the house and I have none of the kids in their costumes! Nor did we "work up to it" or look forward to it as much as we have on other years (okay, maybe that's just me, but even Quijote was like, "It's just supposed to be that day!").

Let me see what I have. We sorta stumbled onto a raven thing.

This is the kids eating candy after their trick-or-treat night was done.

You can kinda see his dinosaur costume in the back. He was SUCH a hit in the neighborhood. Everywhere we went there were awws and omgoshs and picture taking. It was fun. Alas, *we* have no pictures of him yet. I'll have to put him in his costume just so I can at least take an after-the fact picture of the thing. I don't know what happened!

Thanksgiving, on the other hand, is the first big holiday. I have been talking to them about it for half a year -along with Christmas, of course. And once my favorite season of the year kicked in, I lost little time getting our Pumpkin Spice on.... And... you know... whatever fall-ish stuff I could think of. Starting with the soups!

Lasagna soup

Squash

We turned the dough from Qs recipe into rolls! It worked out great!

And of course the pumpkin spice play-dough fun.

And finally, we had the chimney cleaned this weekend. And we got to enjoy our fireplace for the first time!

Miss E's Birthday Interview

Although I did take this video shortly after her party, I'm just now getting around to posting it. Sorry about that...
I love that she still goes along with her brother's craziness. She is so sweet to put up with the abuse. Haha!

Thanks to the uncles and aunts for the birthday presents! She lived her outfits, her super heroine costumes, and the birds!
