Getting ready for Xmas at PohPoh and GungGungs house

Target was sold out of trees so we ended up with this instead. As a bonus it does not require lights or ornaments and folds flat into a pizza box! And it matches the tinsel garland we bought last year from CVS

in the news

The twins were featured in the local Fairfield newspaper.  They were very happily making some ornaments and glitter signs with their name.  Later, Gavin broke a board (at a karate demo) and they decorated xmas stockings.

Halloween Preview

Lucia has been referring to her halloween costume as Cleo-Patrick (presumably, the drag queen version of Cleopatra?).  Here she is in her finery, at the Tudor Halloween parade

Here is what Lucia has to say about what she likes best about Cleopatra: "I like her tiara with [the] gold beads going down.  Also she lives in Egypt where it is always hot so she never has to wear long sleeves".

Finn's Song

Finn got released from a time-out in order to use the bathroom, and I overhead him singing this ballad:

Today is the worst day ever
Its the worst day ever

and the chorus:

Its so annoy-ring! Its so annoy-ring!
