the fairy princess and her sister

I made a fire this evening and Moira ended up "reading books" to Kiah for an hour. It was really, really, really cute.

Yesterday we added fairy wings, a crown, and a magic wand to Moira's costume it really improved it immensly.

Halloween Party

Kiah working hard to get everything tidied up for the party

Moira chose to be a princess, and despite it coming out a little large, I think it turned out pretty good. Kiah made use of Moira's old pirate costume, which was just to cute to not use again.

Checking out our friends costumes

Little Henry was a big fan of the goldfish crackers

Afterwards the girls played in the dark with their glow bracelets. Kiah has the dark purple one and Moira was sporting the green and pink. This was followed by a rousing game of find daddy in the dark before he jumps out and scares you. There was lots of giggling and laughing and it was a fun end to a good weekend.

Life rolls along

Not much happening at the Ericson household. Moira continues to enjoy school, but's a little luke warm on the dancing classes. Her first set of ballet clothes have completely disappeared so we had to purchase another set. The real question is did I put them somewhere so Moira wouldn't get in to them or did Moira get in to them and then stick them somewhere that only makes sense to a 3 year old.

Kiah is now the source of constant jabber. She actually knows an astonishing number of words to mommies trained ear. Her favorite word right now is apple. She seems to think that it means I want that. Moira is hard at work informing her which things are not in fact apples.

Here are some pictures of our most recent reward cupcakes

Moira's been taking lessons from dad and proceeded to shove the better part of this cupcake into her mouth in one bite
