Wild New Year’s Eve (almost lasted until 9pm)

The blender and iron AB made this morning

... and what Annabelle‘s creations look like in adult hands

School lockdown the best day ever?

I came home and Linley was super excited to tell me a story. "It was the best day ever!!!" - Linley. "What made it the best day ever?" - Doug. "Well, because we had a lockdown at school today and the principle pretended he was a bear! And we all hid from him! And I got a root beer lollipop because that helps us keep quite during lockdown!" - Linley (Needless to say, that wasn't the end of the conversation.)

And now Julie sits on Linley’s lap

They aren’t really sharing clothes yet, but Annabelle is wearing one of Julie sweatshirts to school today

Just found these Annabelle inspiration boards this morning

AB made these notes for people to pick while they also grabbed some candy from the bowl we left out

Annabelle’s everyday winter attire is pretty much a Halloween costume (Little Red Riding Hood / wolf)

Linley - “Your pumpkin is going to make me have a dream... I can’t look at it.”

AB made the unicorn, Julie made the roses & butterflies, and Linley make the jack-o’-lantern

Full concentration face

Annabelle wanted the Annabelle doll craved on a pumpkin, so I made her one
