A picture worth a thousand words ...

This is one of my all time favorite pictures! Click on it so it enlarges in a new window so you can get the full effect. This was taken last year on Halloween in Westwood. They closed the street off to cars and let the kids go trick-or-treating around the businesses. Meredith and I were both very pregnant (I went into labor 24 hours later!), so we loved the contained environment. Unfortunately, they're not doing it again this year. Anyway, I just love the facial expressions on Timmy and Reagan here. Despite this picture, they had a really great time last year!

Reagan usually goes to preschool on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday mornings ... today, there was an open spot (someone was sick), so Ms. Lisa let Reagan come and make up the time that she was sick. Since she'll be wearing her Jessie (from Toy Story 2) costume tomorrow to preschool, I pulled out last year's costumes and let her choose ... Little Red Riding Hood or Super Girl? She was SO excited to be Super Girl! I took the above picture before she left this morning. The costume was really big on her last year, so I figured it would fit perfectly this year. It was still big on her - go figure. Maybe the Halloween candy will fatten her up a bit! Just kidding.

While Reagan was at preschool, I watched Nicole's son Bennett ... what a cute kid he is! He's almost 19 months old and just a chatterbox! When I told him to sit down next to Avery so I could take their picture together, he said, "sit on Avery's lap!" Avery wasn't too happy about the idea, so she did her best to push him off.

Ms. Lisa said she had some errands to run after preschool, so she offered to take Reagan with her, then drop her off. When she got here, she said she took Reagan with her to Rite Aid to get someone a birthday card. As soon as she said the word 'birthday,' Reagan immediately told her that Avery's birthday was coming and she needed a card for Avery! So Ms. Lisa was nice enough to buy a birthday card for Avery and helped Reagan sign it. She also let Reagan pick out a gift for her to give to her little sister. When I brought it inside, Reagan generously gave Avery this little frog. It was so sweet! I just love my two little girls :)
