One of Essie’s favorite games used to be “Dada Burned the Food” wherein Mama leaves the house, and Dada must prepare a meal (usually mac and cheese, a.k.a. “Bunny Noodles”). The stove always catches on fire, and the game is to figure out how to put out said fire.

One of my favorite pictures, ever.

‌

This was Essie’s first Halloween out trick-or-treating. She’s dressed as the conductor from Dinosaur Train and she was so so excited. This was one of those nights you’ll never forget.

‌

This is Mykala’s traditional Halloween dish. “I will make it every Halloween, forever.” says Mykala. Yep.

‌

‌

When it isn’t even November, but your three-year-old wants you to play Jingle Bells so she can dance to it, that’s what you do.

‌

Ess was convinced that Band-Aids repaired all injuries. Her tending to Mykala here is so very sweet.

‌

This flamingo ended up named “Inspector Flamingo” — actually was a costume hat. Ess had a lot of fun with it for a few months in the autumn/winter.

Ess is dressed up in some of her conductor Halloween costume.

‌

‌

Ess made a model of Stillwater, using her blocks. She really captured Main Street.

‌

‌

‌

Mykala made Ess this hat, since Ess was really enjoying watching “The Conductor” on Dinosaur Train.
