It's certainly been colder and cloudier these last several days. Halloween, Thanksgiving and then Christmas are just around the corner. Yikes.
I ordered costumes from Target which were supposed to arrive today however I'm told that the order will be delayed until October 31st. In a hail mary attempt to find something quickly (and reasonably priced) we stopped by Once Upon a Child, a place that pays you for your very gently used baby and children things. We found a Pooh costume (it's Pooh dressed as a bumble bee so he can get honey from the bees) for Josiah and a lady bug costume for Lilly. Originally they were going as a lion and a lamb (because the outfits were ridiculously cute) but we'll just have to scrap that idea this year.
I also picked up Timberland boots for Josiah and little white Stride Rite flats for Lilly. Both kids insisted on wearing their new shoes tonight....and their costumes...
He wasn't sure at first
Lilly loves being a big helper when Grannie B crochets. She enjoys the feeling of the soft yarn (fingers it and rubs it on her face) and the shiny needles.
We've been fortunate to spend a significant amount of time outside for walks, trips to the park, etc. Last Saturday, Steve and Lilly went to run an errand while Josiah and I went for a walk. I'm struck by this picture because he looks so grown up and so little all at once. Love that fluffy hair too :)
I tried to get video of them in their Halloween costumes because they looked hysterical, but it didn't turn out so well. Plus, I was breathing like a serial killer because I am pregnant and was crawling around on the floor with them- ha! Excuse Lilly's lack of pants in the second one. She just wanted her costume top and her new shoes on. Girls!!!
In other news, congratulations are in order to my sister and Trevor Oates on their recent engagement!

I think Josiah likes his new boots.
