The Elvis Trilogy






This blog has begun with three posts that all contained references to a 2 year old dressing up as Elvis. What kind of demographic does that attract, I wonder? As mentioned, I did not have the picture of dear Owen as Elvis. Thanks to the information superhighway, I can say, "this is what Elvis did while in Annapolis on vacation."

Owen did a great job staying in character and even had some of Elvis moves down (note the semi-knee lunge).

I think I can stop talking about Halloween now and launch immediately into Christmas. We saw Santa last Saturday. My 2 year old daughter waved at him from afar. My 5 year old son knows about the Santa visit at my husband's office: you get a present after you sit on Santa's lap. He was ready. I can honestly say that he has never waited in line so patiently before (mom, this was the antithesis of the Nemo ride at Disneyland this summer). I could tell that Josie was starting to loose her cool as we got closer. It didn't work out for a Santa and Josie conversation. Jonah was able to share with both of the Claus's that he wanted a game called Animal Soup. He wanted to tell Santa that Josie wanted a pink pony. Not so much, Jones. He made that up.

Mrs. Claus was asking me if I had a flask available.

Elvis...well, he's back.

I would absolutely link to a picture, but I can't. I can't find Jordan's website. Jordan, puhlease help! Send us a picture of Owen wearing the prize winning costume. That's right, Owen won the Halloween contest at Trader Joe's. Wearing Elvis. ROUNDS OF APPLAUSE for the little guy! Also, I would share pictures of my children in their Halloween garb, but my husband took video on our ancient camera. Not quite sure how to upload.

That's just kind of the way things go. I know I can't make this the wonderful post that I want it to be. I do have a video of playing in the snow yesterday. I will leave you with that! 24 days until Christmas!
