The life of 3-year olds...

I know this story won't translate as well into text but I need to write it down… it was way cute in real life.

We had a great time at a friend's Halloween party yesterday. Near the end of the night there was a back door visitor… a relative of the party host and the large horse she rode to the party. Many of the kids jumped at the chance to pet the horse. Evan said no and ran back inside but after a while, told me he would like to. At that point it was just the horse, rider, Evan and I since everyone else had gone back to the festivities inside. Evan pet the horse and then boldly asked the rider how the horse got to the party (his desire to process something in his mind was greater than his tendency to not speak up around strangers). "He rode here," she answered. "How did you get here?" he asked the rider. "I rode here too," she answered. Very loudly and clearly amazed and confused, a wide-eyed Evan replied, "How big is your car??"

On another note…

This morning Brynn and Evan, dressed nicely for church, decided that they both needed to wear their Washington Nationals hats so they matched and each carry a stuffed animal bunny. How could I say no?? It was so cute to see them getting along so well… they even fussed because they could not sit together in the car (they are separated because the adults in the car finally had enough of their fighting a few weeks ago). Often I question our thought process when we decided to have "virtual twins" and the effects doing so have had, and will have, on the two of them, but at least for today, well, for those two hours, it was all good!
