Maybe a mechanic

Well, if I can't convince her to be an engineer, maybe she'll show some aptitude as a mechanic.  It'd actually be quite nice to have one in the family, I'm amazingly useless with cars...

So I go to pick her up from day care and I find her, Colin, and Amber either making a car or fixing a bike, depending on when I asked. 

Some videos of their antics:

Halloween 2013

We do have a creative child.  Must have gotten it from her mother.  She (Gwen, not Jenni) decided on a costume over a month ago and has stuck to her guns.  She was...

A flashlight.

I can't take any credit for the costume - Jenni found all the stuff and showed me how to put it together.  I just assembled it to the best of my ability, which is pretty lacking unfortunately.  So here's some random pics:

And some videos too:

It turned out to be heavier than we had expected, but apparently she didn't complain or take it off once while trick or treating at daycare.  Halloween night was another matter.  I was carrying it between stations at Hy-Vee, then we used a different costume for walking through the neighborhood.  It probably weighs a good 10 pounds - we could't expect a 25 pound munchkin to walk around in it all night.

And now she is three

Although she DOES insist that next year she'll be one.  Arithmetic is one area we still need to work on, quite frankly.

She insisted she wanted a pink cake:

Every girl is a princess on her birthday.  I couldn't decide which pic I liked better, so have both:

There must be presents:
