Moose

 

 

 

Hallie is thrilled whenever she sees a moose in the yard. She is always on the lookout and will often ask us where they are. The other day she was happily standing in the windowsill watching a moose in our yard and then squealed with delight when she noticed a second moose further off in the woods. There was some confusion early on with a moose and a cow which says "moo". But I think we've got that all worked out now. The moose are literally taking over our neighborhood! We counted 10 in the field nearby all at the same time, early in the morning. Carson is now nervous to walk the 1/8 mile from the end of the road to our house when the bus drops him off and twice has knocked on neighbors' doors asking for a ride.

Candy Hoarder

Hallie decided to bulk up her Halloween take by filling her bucket with our candy for handing out to trick or treaters.

Interesting pose on the couch....asleep after a short night....couldn't make it to nap!

A bit underdressed in an apron, diaper, and socks. But after putting on winter coat and tennis shoes was ready to travel to Grandma's house.

Imitator

Hallie loves her brother and sister, and wants to be just like them. All day she asks, "where's Carson?" And if Tana's not around, "where's Tana?" Many times they humor her, but there are times when she is a nuisence to them in whatever they are doing and the end result is usually screaming. Hallie isn't just a sweet girl either, she will pull Tana's hair, or bite if she feels she is being treated injustly (not getting her way).

Pumpkin Carving

I'm a traditionalist, so even though pumpkin carving might not be the funnest (most fun?) thing in the world, I've made sure we've carved one every year since I've been married to continue a favorite childhood tradition. Of course, now that our children are multiple, we have to have multiple pumpkins. One of our pumpkins began to rot on the top. I think that's because the kids were standing on it? Anyways, we carved a couple of weeks before Halloween and put them out to freeze. Hallie enjoyed getting in on the action this year.
