The Pumpkin and her Elephant, or

The Elephant and his Pumpkin:) These two are such goofballs! We had a Happy Halloween, and truly, the most fun of all was just watching these two little stinkers do their thing...and candy helped a little too:) Freya adjusted well to having something on her head (she is not a fan of hats and generally grabs them with gusto and whips them onto the floor, as well as socks or anything additional to a shirt and bottoms:), and Jonas was perfectly content to wear his elephant costume again, so it was fun to notice the difference from last year's pictures: elephant+ pumpkin:) Last week, when it was getting close to the time when he had to wear a costume to preschool, I just pulled out last-year's elephant just to have something in case I couldn't whip up a tiger costume in time...must have been nostalgia or something, but he grabbed it and declared that he wanted to be an elephant again! And, since it still fit, we were in business:) He was the only elephant at preschool, and certainly the only elephant with a little pumpkin side-kick who enjoyed pulling his trunk:) So, I know there are a lot of pictures, but I knew the grandparents (and Uncle Erik and Auntie Becca, Uncle Michael and Auntie Bailey) would appreciate such a wide selection since we couldn't be together...Enjoy!
