Halloween 2011

Ella had a wonderful day yesterday at school, after school, and trick-or-treating in our neighborhood! She was so happy and kept saying what a great day she had and how happy she was!! She got good selection of candy that she can have (we offloaded the chocolate stuff to daddy and the candy bowl outside our house for other trick-or-treaters to pick up. We just loved walking behind her and watching her skip and skip from house to house. When she got tired of walking, she told us it was time to go home as she didn't want to be greedy! (We were talking about what moderation meant and not being greedy, etc. and she picked up on it right away.) That's my girl! I'm so proud of her. She really wanted to see what all the candy she got. And she only had one piece before her bedtime. Love you, sweetheart! Keep it up!

I love the magic of childhood and the way children see the world: beautiful, wonderful, and innocent. More thoughts of childhood in general and my own childhood flooded my mind yesterday when I came across this quote by Eugene Ionesco on one of the blogs I read on a regular basis:

"Childhood is the world of miracle or of magic. It is as if creation rose luminously out of the night, all new and fresh and astonishing. Childhood is over the moment things are no longer astonishing."

I love how she's holding her sucker! :)

We're also so excited for mamaie and tataie's arrival tomorrow evening!!!! Yeay!!! :)
