Trick-or-Treating

Here are the belated pictures from our Halloween night...


We had a jesterless jester, a unicorn Pegasus (Isabelle could not have been more happy with this costume) and an over sized dog

Costume wearing is serious business

But we finally got a smile

Excuse me?

Communication is essential to good parenting, but I was foolish to assume once the children began speaking that the quality of communication would be our only remaining struggle.


Here are some common Ellis home miscommunications...






Isabelle wanted to know if Daniel had another "ear confession."





Isabelle thinks she would like to try the "sheep wine," she likes sheep after all.



Peter gladly eats salad when he can use the "salad tongues."





Peter and Isabelle are both excited about the new "bowlington boards" in our classroom.








And here's a picture of Luci, we have been deficient in those recently.

Morning Chat

Luciana has found her voice, and she loves to use it. Peter and Isabelle are willing communicants.
