Bath Time (otherwise known as The Splash Zone)

Ezra's bath time has become one of his favorite times of the day.  We are currently experimenting with using it to help get in the bedtime mood.  So far, it seems to work really well.  He loves playing in the warm water.  He has just recently gotten too big for the newborn sling that usually sits in his little tub, so he has more space to play.  Ezra has decided that the thing to do with all the extra space is to splash around so that everyone in the room gets to enjoy his bath as much as he does.



Ezra's first Halloween (sort of)

Happy Halloween!



Alex is an Ewok and Ezra is a bull



 Tonight was the annual church Trunk-or-Treat where everyone decorates their cars and the children go around for candy.  It's a neat alternative to Trick-or-Treating because the community is tighter nit than most neighbors.   We combined with our extended family, Lindsay and Alex, and had a really cool evening.  We decorated with spider garland and a lighted pumkin on top of the car.  Alex helped us pass out the candy, and he was really good at making sure everyone got at least a couple pieces, sometimes more :) 



Moo.



Marla is a hotdog with mustard. 



Ezra dressed in his bull costume (I've been told I cannot call him a cow), and Marla dressed as a hotdog.  Marla was very gentle with all the kiddos that wanted to come play with her, and she remarkably kept her costume on all night long, even though we were pretty sure she would lose it in the first five minutes.   

All in all, my favorite Halloween ever has been the first one I had a kid.  I would never have imagined.  :)



Ezra had a great time, but he was done before the night was over.
