ok so i guess i am excited for halloween now

thanks to chris and his pictures from today’s parade at school…

els was supposed to be pablo from the backyardigans.. we’ve been working on putting it on and telling her about all the hoopla… but she just wouldn’t do it. i guess she was just freaked out that her *hero* was there in real life, not on tv! lol! thanks cousin jaeden for the hand me down tinkerbell costume. els looooves it! 🙂 fah-fah– means flower costume. that’s what she asks for. 🙂

this morning.. she almost walked out of the house with this costume on and a Buzz Lightyear hat on and a pirate sword in hand. she is such the little sister. 🙂

and are you ready for the heartbreak story of the day? OHHHHH….

this is caleb outside of his classroom.. getting ready for a class photo… els runs up and sits on his lap and teacher says she needs to get out of the photo…caleb had tears in his eyes, but of course only chris and i could tell. he is such the good big brother.. he takes good care of her yet doesn’t spoil her– doesn’t hesitate to give her a shove when she takes something of his. LOL… awwww.

and last one. this is pretty much straight out of the camera. the fires have been slowing down.. the 95 degree day is down to a high of 78… glorious day. 🙂
