Brotherly Love

Nanny Ronnie and Granddad Steve left some money for us to buy the boys some presents, so we used some of it this morning to buy dress up for Halloween. We initially went to Toys R Us, but the selection was really poor, which was surprising. So we decided to drive over to a fancy dress wholesalers, that is located near Jarvis school.

Once inside we discovered a massive selection of things Halloween themed. Jarvis really wanted to be a Vampire and there was no shortage of outfits to choose from. He scored a bat winged collar cape, fangs, rubber spider and bat, medallion and blood capsules. Felix scored a really cute skeleton outfit and Adrienne some fairy things. I wanted to get a witch outfit for Adrienne, however Jarvis insisted that his beloved Mumma, was only allowed to be something nice and beautiful. That boy ADORES his Mumma.

Later in the afternoon while Felix was sleeping, I overheard Jarvis talking in the play room. He'd dressed and set up three Mr. Potato Heads as ghouls in front of him, and sat on his throne, and dictated orders to his minions. It was so funny, that I had to ask him to repeat it again, so that I could make a wee movie for the blog, which is posted below.

Halloween dress up was not the highlight of the day for me, it was seeing Jarvis playing with Felix. He can be very heavy handed sometimes, but he's really starting to enjoy playing with Felix. I really do think that they'll be great friends in years to come. Jarvis is allows so proud of Felix when we go out and always introduces him.

House Dad.
