Halloween Party

We had a last minute invitation from Aaron and Wendy's supercool neighbors, Jake and Letty, to come to their Halloween Party. Despite the cold and wet, we had a good time.

Jasper & Suzanne

I think it is safe to say that Suzanne spends more time with Jasper than with her, you know, actual sibling. They have been best buds since they were wee, and now they are also classmates at preschool.

I had the opportunity on Columbus Day to be one of the parent teachers (or teacher's helpers?) at this preschool and was encouraged to see that they didn't just play with each other. There were other dynamics swirling around, other social vortices into which they were both drawn. But after school, Jasper asked for a playdate and got it, and they were back onto the normal track of being best buds, inseparable.

At the Library

Here's Elizabeth at the library. Within two minutes of entering, she had a stack of novels and was already reading.

Three Little Monkeys

At Jasper's fifth birthday party in Woodstock Park, the kids discovered an awesome climbing tree and spent a lot of time hanging out in its branches, or climbing as high as they dared.

(And if Suzanne's face looks a little... creepy, it's the result of smeared facepaint and solemn expression. She's not actually a spooky ghost.)
