Emma at the library listening station

We were at the library for my Stay At Home Dads group and Emma crawled up in the chair and put the headphones on by herself. Looked so cute in those big headphones.

Emma and Ethan playing outside in PJ's

Ethan always wants to play outside when he gets up and we are making breakfast. Today Emma joined him. They seem oblivious to the cold temps, just makes it a little easier to get them to come in when it's time.

Got to love the fashion statement.

Emma and Ethan go horseback riding and take along their friend Priya

We were headed out to the local Park District Stables when the neighbor girl Priya that likes to play with Emma and Ethan came over, so we checked with her Mom and took her along. All three had a great time riding "Baby" the miniature horse.Here's some pics.

 

Video of Ethan and Emma getting ready to Trick or Treat

Emma and Ethan go Trick or Treating

This was the first year that Emma and Ethan got to tell us what they wanted to be for Halloween. Emma took it easy on us and wanted to be a kitty-kat. Ethan wasn't too hard either.Emma tried to tell us that "her Ethan" (yes she thinks she owns him :-)) wanted to be a leopard, but Ethan was having none of it. He wanted to be Jeff Wiggles from the Wiggles TV show which is his favorites show. Nanc and I died a turtleneck purple, I downloaded a Wiggles logo, made the background transparent and printed it out on iron-on-transfer paper. Nanc ironed it on the shirt and we ironed another logo on cardboard for a belt buckle. It worked out well and both wanted to wear their costumes for several days.

Emma was so cute and when we would go to head home she would say "I want to go to another Halloween Party". I didn't get it till Nanc told me she thought going to each house was going to a party. Got to love the way their little minds are wired. Both had a great time and were very polite and only took one piece of candy at each house and said Trick or Treat ... Thank-you.

Emma decided to use her blankie as a bib

Ethan wanted to play outside when he got up

Still in our jammies.

Ethan does his best "little girl" imitation

I guess Ethan got tired of Emma doing this pose and imitated her while sitting at the dinner table waiting for me to bring dinner.

Ethan and Emma go to Didier's Pumpkin Farm

The Stay At Home Dad's group I belong to went to this Pumkin Farm and Ethan and Emma had a blast. They were fearless and went on every ride they had. Lucky for me they had a one price pass for all rides till 1pm! Here's some pics so you can enjoy the fun.
