So this year I made the kids costumes with the sewing machine. Soleil picked what she wanted everyone to be for Halloween. Daddy-Banana Mommy-Pirate Soleil-Flower River-Grapes When we were Trick-or-Treating Soleil found out that Halloween isn't just fun costumes and candy. She realized that it can be scary too!
On a fun fall morning we spent the day at the zoo. Earlier that morning Echo caught a cicada. We thought it was dead so we took it to the zoo trading post. Soleil had already brought in some cicada sheds and now she was going to show them the adult. Well when we opened up the box, the cicada was very much alive so we let it go. The zoo became its new home. It warmed up and Sol got to play in the water, one of her favorite things to do at the zoo.
Soleil loves to pull out her camera and take pictures of all of us. Here are some recent pics.
We headed out to the Irving Halloween Fest. Soleil wanted to wear her Cinderella dress, River was a pumpkin, Robbie recycled his Jedi robe and I recycled a fairy costume. When we got there they had just started a costume contest so we decided to try our luck. Well I won first place and Robbie won 2nd! We both got itunes gift cards! Sol had fun playing on the bounce houses and River napped the rest of the day away.
