halloween

I knew the day would come when the kids would want to have control of their own costumes. This was the year. Bea wanted to be a leopard and Cordelia a pig. I kept saying are you SURE, reallllly sure?? 

Bea wanted to mask instead of getting her face painted. And she wanted to wear a halloween outfit under her partial costume. I had a really hard time with this. It may have even made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Coco opted for a cozy sweat suit and pig parts. 

And she let me paint her face!

tilly's bday party

All of Coco's rainforest friends know Bea, so she is lucky enough to also get invited to birthday parties. This was Tilly's party at Firehouse Art Studio. 

The kids got to play with clay.

Paint ceramic medallions.

Make pigs out of clay.

Tilly's mom made the cake and all of the frosting. All organic and vegan. Then the kids got to decorate it! I am usually a full flavor and full fat type of gal. But this cake was delicious.

Then their friends swung by with their pot belly pigs! What are the chances!?

It was a beautiful day to run outside...

and take turns jumping off a random 4 x 4.

halloween decorations

This year the girls were really into decorating for Halloween. They wanted lots of scary stuff outside and a mix inside. Here they are posing with the last of the decorations.

They really do have fun.
