Sorry it's been awhile. Two, two-year olds is busier than I expected.
Last week we had a wonderful time at the Arboretum. My Mom and Aunt Karen, joined Maria and me with the kids. It was two on one and I was still totally worn out when it was over. The kids had a blast. I have a couple of great shoots from the day thanks to my Mom.
We had a picnic lunch that Connor totally embraced. He really mastered lounging on the blanket. Gotta love that guy!
So I think we've decided on Halloween costumes for this year. I thought Connor could be a lion and Chloe a tiger. Then Carl and I can recycle our khaki (bee keeper) outfits from last year and be big cat trainers this year. I got Carl a whip to go with his khakis and maybe I can get him to carry around a stool.
The challenge isn't how the adults will dress it's if I can get the kids to do it. The other day we tried costumes on but Connor wouldn't put on his lion outfit, only the headpiece. But that was enough to get him in the lion spirit.
I could get Chloe to try on the tiger outfit, but she really didn't want to wear the headpiece. When I put it on her she pouted and fought to get it off.
We'll see how it goes when it's actually time for the Halloween events. I think we'll try to go to the Arboretum for Goblins in the Garden and we'll trick-or-treat and hit our neighborhood block party on Halloween.
