Today is James's birthday, and a holiday too! (I can picture him as a little boy trick or treating..."trick or treat.....oh, and today is my birthday too....")
Happy Birthday, James, we love you!
At the moment, I'm undecided how I want to celebrate Halloween with the little ones...
....stay home and make ghosts with Joseph and Chloe
....photo some festively decorated lawns before the decorations are stored away
....go to Dad's (and risk getting them sick...I better not....)
.... find other little ones treating in the area on Halloween
We'll see how the day plays out. Joseph will love running around in a costume for the next month, even if no candy is involved (he won't know the difference). And, Chloe, she will love being a princess or a pumpkin, or a pumpkin princess, for her first Halloween.
The other night before reading books and before bed time, James put on a show for the three of us to enjoy. Spontaneous, full of laughter and love. With Chloe on my right (leg) and Joseph on my left, we sat in anticipation for some entertainment from Daddy. James juggled his colorful bean bag balls way up in the air, spinning them, and even did a toss or two under his leg. Joseph sat in merriment with his eyes glued to James! And Chloe, well, let's just say she enjoyed it more than anything! She tensed up her body with excitement, squealed and kicked her little legs with glee! Very cute! It's just one of those precious priceless moments that I'll remember for a long time to come.
Until the next show, and when the camera is on point, this picture will have to substitute (he's almost as cute as James):
Would you like to see a future juggling act, too? or pictures of how we spent our Halloween?
