Caboose - A Look Back

One Year Ago:




Today:




Still as cute as ever!

Candy Wrappers

That Sanjay is sneaky and he's a sweet freak... the combination at Halloween can be surprising.

Last year, Daddy caught him in a corner opening candy and stuffing them in his mouth. I think he thought since his back was to the kitchen he wouldn't be seen, but nonetheless he was caught and punished. Less than a week later, if I remember correctly, I was cleaning Priya's room and found a pile of wrappers in her closet. I re-assembled them for this picture:



A month later, I was vacuuming the living room and found this behind the humidifier:



This little boy gets away with so much more than his sister. Then again, he does push the limits whereas she tends to play it safe. In any case, I'm wondering where I'll find his droppings of evidence this year. :)

Anxiously looking forward to the next few weeks of housecleaning.

Persons In Costumes

Sanjay, while recently trying to convince Priya that what she saw wasn't real, said to her "No, they're just persons in costumes". I've been saving it up to use on this Halloween blog post.

Here we are tonight on the way out the door for some friendly trick-or-treating:



Sanjay is Anakin Skywalker, Priya is a black cat, and I am the State Recorder Player Champion.



Unfortunately, all the spookiness of Halloween has gotten into Priya's head. While Sanjay sleeps peacefully in his own bed, Priya has called me back into her room enough times that I'm fed up with her at this point. Bartee is now in there spewing a nice little bedtime story to take her mind off the persistent thought that someone is going to jump out from behind her and scream. The last thing she needs is another late night... the lack of sleep is probably contributing to the nightmares. I suspect one of us will end up sleeping with her again tonight.
