Nice Day For A Baby

Happy Birthday Caitlin!
Sunday was Caitlin's 4th Birthday. I think she really enjoyed her birthday this year. She had been looking forward to it for a while. I had planned on having a party with friends for her this year, but it didn't happen. She still had fun and we got to spend lots of time with family.
Caitlin was excited to get a new princess castle for her birthday. They have been playing with it for three days straight. As I write this, actually. Caitlin is also really big on Barbies and was really happy that everyone else obliged with Barbie gifts.
I think this is the third year in a row that she has requested a Cinderella cake. She helped a lot this time with the decorations. She and Ethan covered it with sprinkles and she placed the candles in just the right spots.
Caitlin is really growing up. I get asked all the time if she and Ethan are twins. She will be starting preschool in a couple weeks and can't wait to ride the school bus. Ethan is so jealous! He has to ride to school with boring old Mom. She will be gone 5 days a week. I hope I can keep Avery entertained.

Halloween
Halloween is over and now I am eating my weight in candy. I swear that's all the baby wants to eat! She's going to come out asking for chocolate milk!
After Halloween I always separate the candy into two bowls. "Chocolate" and "The Kids' Candy". I'm not too mean, though. I let them have some of mine if they ask. But I was brought up in a family that strictly adhered to "The Halloween Dad Tax". I feel it's just one of the advantages to having kids. You get to pilfer their candy when they aren't looking. Anyway...back to them...
Ethan was Wolverine this year. It was quite an ordeal finding this costume. Not only did it have to be Wolverine, but it had to be the Wolverine with the claws. Not as easy to find as you'd think. But appparently, that is the most important part of the costume. So, after visiting 8 stores we finally found one with claws that was only one size too big and we snatched it right up.
By the way, anyone want to guess how many houses we'd been to when the claws came off for good? One. Yep, next door. The mask at least made it a couple streets over.
Caitlin was a cute Cowgirl. Although you wouldn't know if you asked her. Caitlin has a little trouble with her C's, G's and RL's. So, for Halloween, she was a "Towdah". But a very sweet Towdah she was. Even had a matching weapon.
Avery was Supergirl. That decision was made specifically on the fact that the costume came with boots. It's funny how kids have such opinions about things. I showed her a hundred costumes, but she just kept saying "Boots"!
By the way, sorry about the picture quality. Done with my phone.
The kids had a great time at our Ward's Trunk-or-Treat and in our neighborhood the next night. Mom is just glad it's done. Make way for Thanksgiving and Christmas! Yippee!
P.S. Bryce's birthday was yesterday! I don't have any pictures, but we had a good day. For old people, anyway.
