While chatting to my parents over the weekend, Cezanne decided to draw a picture of Etienne for them.

We were on our way to Trick or Trees ( see posting ) and both kids were dressed in their Halloween costumes. Etienne was dressed as a cowboy with boots and hat.

Here is Cezanne’s first drawing of her brother. She included details like his lips and his tongue.

Just like the Zoo, the Morten Arboretum has their own special Halloween program called Trick or Trees.

We dressed Cezanne in her costume again ( making sure to get good value for money out of it ) and headed out to a very busy Arboretum with high hopes of a fun day out, possibly one of the last sunny and mild days before the arctic freeze sets in.

We saw so many wonderful costumes and made our way through the Children’s Garden trying to find the play group. We stopped to paint a pumpkin and then moved on to the rope bridges in the trees.

This is where Cezanne let us down. She had a potty accident we decided to leave despite the fact that both Lanelle and I were having a good time. ( We figured it was a fitting punishment for a big girl who should know better and who by now should be able to say when she needs to go potty ). After we got home and later looked at the photos I felt bad having missed photographic evidence that she needed to go…
