Poppies Mural

I finally finished the mural I started ages ago. It was for a woman who remodeled her house and then found the half-bath too bland, so she asked me to paint some poppies. I'm glad to have finished it (at 29 weeks) before getting too big.

Halloween

Though Halloween was two weeks ago, I'm finally getting around to posting something. I'm behind with everything these days. So, here's what the kids got for lunch on Halloween. I was particularly proud of the little pumpkin-shaped carrot slices - Michiel's idea, my execution.

And here's our little pink bunny, ready to go out and get candy. She was pretty cute because she kept mixing up which she was supposed to say first: "Trick or treat!" or "Thank you!"

And here is my little policeman and my little bunny trick or treating at the house of our good friends, John and Hilary.

And of course, later on, examining the loot. Alexander got about twice as much candy as Annabel, even before convincing her to share a bunch of hers with him. He's quite the little con artist. I suppose that's a privilege of being the oldest. I remember convincing Jo to make all sorts of candy trades with me - two of her snickers for one measly malt ball. She doesn't remember any of it. I hope Annabel will be so lucky.
