October 2008

Caroline loves to iron. She specializes in Dad's handkerchiefs and placemats for fancy dining on the kitchen table.




Caroline and Joseph sitting in their own chairs between General Conference sessions in October. They are capable of playing very well together and can be quite entertaining. Joseph adores his sister, especially when she makes him laugh.





Caroline and her good friend Hannah dressed up like princesses, their favorite playtime activity.



Caroline and Joseph keep themselves busy while I fold laundry in the morning.



Caroline got paints for the first time this week. She was so excited to use them, I let her paint while I was making dinner and not closely monitoring her. I turned around to see what she had done when she exclaimed, "Look Mom, I painted the wall pretty!" In the instant that I had to choose, I realized I had not given her the rule to "not paint the wall" and chose to take a picture, then laugh and have her help me clean it up. She never has painted on the wall since. Thank goodness for Mr. Clean wipe ups!




Joseph is so cute.



Caroline dressed like Cinderella for Halloween with her reluctant handsome prince.



Caroline is ready to go trick-or-treating. You notice the shoes in her hands, but the real story is that she wore those plastic heels for two hours of trick-or-treating at the shopping center in the afternoon. She refused to take them off even when she had blisters forming on her feet and her toes were squishing through the front. She is a true girl.
