Raising Watsons

Halloween –  another reminder that your children are independent spirits who 1. would like to wear the same Spider man costume that is worn 3-4 times a week and 2. have absolutely no intention of wearing the cute fairy costume with the glitter and the wings, thank you very much.  Alas, I present to you, Spiderman and our little Pumpkin.

We paraded with other Super friends in the morning.

BFF Lily was dressed as Snow White.

This picture doesn’t just explain Halloween, it’s every day.   Tucker aggressively cuddling and Emilia not appreciating it.

After school, Aunt Lindsay dropped by and we visited a neighbor for dinner.   Then we headed home and prepared for the 1,000 kid onslaught that happens in our neighborhood.

1,000 pieces of candy.

Emilia is not quite at PBJ sandwich age, but that doesn’t stop her as she loves snagging she can from Tucker.

Our pirate friends stopped by for a little trick or treating too!

Another great Halloween!

Last August, I put this post on Facebook.

One morning last week as I’m packing lunches for the kids Tucker walks up to me and points to a spot on his pajamas.  “See that Mom?  That’s Batman’s wings.  I told you he could fly.”  And walked away.

THREE MONTHS LATER he is still having this argument with me and not giving an inch on his position.

At this point, I think he won.
