Can we parents congratulate ourselves on doing a good job?

Chloe was so polite with her trick-or-treat presentation, always saying “thank you” and “happy halloween” that she charmed the pants out of everybody!

Her First Bike!

October 26, 2016

Chloe’s been talking about the bikes she test-rode at the store for two weeks, so we went and got one!.
Presenting — Chloe’s first bike!

Ok, yes this Disney Frozen-branded bike by Huffy is indeed already too small for her.  However, she really wanted this one and I didn’t want to damper her enthusiasm for learning.  Also I figure she can get confident on the little bike and we can start moving her to something larger in the next few months.  She’s in a good kid biking neighborhood now with lots of opportunities to practice.

Here are our pumpkins – Bailey did the outer two, Chloe carved the ones in the middle.  First time carving a pumpkin, and she’s very happy with her results.  I know it’s hard to see, but she carved hearts next to the scary face.

If you look closely you can see some mad science.  Chloe created a two-headed skeleton and also swapped the heads on between a skeleton human and skeleton cat.
