Tis the season for making homemade applesauce


When Drew plays Barbies with Bentley...

I overhear Drew playing Barbies with Bentley.

Ken to the other Ken: "Your jacket's so cool." 
The other Ken: "No, your jacket's so cool." 
Ken: " No, your jacket's so cool." 
The other Ken: "No, your jacket's so cool." 
Ken: "Let's karate fight. AHHHH!" 
Then Barbie enters and slaps Ken repeatedly.
  
Then I hear Ken: "Sorry for fighting. You want to stay friends?" 
The other Ken: "Sure."

Oh yeah and they both have voices like Elvis.

the pink lady

Here is a sneak preview of Bentley's Halloween Costume.  I made her dress from a men's button-up shirt I got at a thrift store.  I received the leather jacket as a hand-me-down from a friend over a year ago.  We hand colored the synthetic wig with pink markers. (Bentley helped). Her necklace is also from a Thrift store as well as her belt. Her favorite part of the outfit?  Getting to chew gum.


Just to note, Bentley has not seen the movie, Grease.  Just a few choice musical numbers I shared with her.  
This may give you an idea of what Drew, Emery and I are going to look like.

a fort fit for a princess

Completely spontaneously, it became a morning meant for building a fort.  We "decorated" with Emery's toys while she was taking a nap, hanging them from whatever we could under the dining room table.  Then our "building a fort" went from one end of the spectrum of fort building to the other when we added twinkle lights.
