Trunk-or-Treat

For Halloween this year Arthur is going as Eeyore and Camilla is a flower. Last night our ward had a trunk-or-treat for the kids. It was a lot of fun and both Arthur and Camilla had a blast. Arthur loves his costume and calls Eeyore "horsey" since he doesn't really know what donkeys are and doesn't understand the difference. It makes him love Eeyore all the more because of that though. He even cuddled with the costume when he went to bed last night and is doing the same tonight.

Before the trunk-or-treat they had a little parade so the kids could show off all of their costumes. It was so cute to watch Bailee carry Camilla around and Arthur kept stopping and smiling for everyone. Very adorable but not so much when it holds up the rest of the kids behind him. He was so happy to be walking around and having everyone watch. The whole time he had the biggest grin on his face.

Camilla didn't care so much for the parade but became much more excited once we started going around to the cars and filling her pumpkin with candy. She just loved seeing that candy go in and then wanted to reach in and grab at anything she could. It was really hard to keep her in my arms and hold on to Arthur's hand at the same time but we made it work. Arthur loved going from car to car and saying "trick-or-treat" and then when he received the candy he would say "thank you" before he would move on to the next car. He especially liked when they would hand him the candy so he could put it in his pumpkin all by himself.

Tim was passing out candy back at our car that was all decked out with a Halloween tablecloth as a backdrop and a Mickey Mouse pumpkin he carved early in the day. Then he had the music going from the whole ride at Disneyland for Haunted Mansion...his favorite for Halloween.

It was a really fun night with the kids and it makes me even more excited for the actual trick-or-treating we will get to do with them on Thursday night. I think they will have a lot of fun going around the neighborhood with their pumpkins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Picture Update

It's been awhile since I've updated the blog so I thought I would just post some pictures of the kids and what they've been up to the last couple of weeks.

Lately Camilla has become really independent and is always wanting to feed herself. Sometimes she won't spill a thing and other times she will get it all over her face, hair, and clothes. She absolutely loves macaroni and cheese, though, as well as oatmeal!
 

 

 

 

 These were all taken at the park near us. The kids had a blast playing here as it has so much for them to do. Arthur especially loved riding the "horsey" which is what he calls the zebra. Camilla is still all about the swings but loves to run around plenty as well. She is definitely not content to just sit for too long. She is always wanting to explore and discover.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Arthur was all tuckered out from the park that he fell asleep. The way he is laying is unusual for him as he usually lays with his arms spread out above his head.

Later that same day we went to another park while my nephew, Adam, had soccer practice. Even though they had played hard earlier that day they were still full of energy and had just as much fun there as the other park, even if it was a lot smaller.

We will go to the mall every once in awhile and when we do Arthur loves going to a saddle they have there that you can ride on. He thinks it is the coolest thing. Milla loves it quite a bit too.

Arthur and Milla watching a movie together. We had just finished watching General Conference and Arthur wanted to watch "Spirit" because he loves horses so much. Camilla gets pretty enthralled by the horse too.

This was taken about three weeks ago when I was 22 weeks along. Milla was mad because she wanted to be held...
