Chain of command in the Leonardson Castle
While playing princess and little prince Bella made the chain of command very clear to us all. To ask permission for something she approached me as "King". I immediately corrected her stating that I was the Queen and Daddy was the King. Simple enough, right? She turned around, walked over to Darin "the King", stopped and paused for a moment. "I think I better ask the Queen" she said. Of course this was hilarious and we all laughed about it. True to form, Darin asked Bella the question..."How does the chain of command work?" Who has the most power? Bella replied, "the king is in charge, the queen is more in charge and the other queen is more in charge". Hmmmm...interesting...

Lunch time conversation
This is one of those times that doesn't really warrant a photo but definitely needs to be documented...during lunch today, the conversation went like this:
Cam: "Sis! Do you love me?"
Bella: "Of course, silly!"
Bella: "Cam, even when I'm being naughty, I still love you. Why?"
Cam: "Oh, I love you too. I'm just happy that you are here."
Ok, really? Could that be any cuter? We weren't even at the table when this happened.
Cam: "Sis! Do you love me?"
Bella: "Of course, silly!"
Bella: "Cam, even when I'm being naughty, I still love you. Why?"
Cam: "Oh, I love you too. I'm just happy that you are here."

Logan's 1st Haircut
Say goodbye to the Mullet!
We spent the better part of yesterday trying to get Logan his first haircut. With much frustration, we couldn't find a place to take us until this fabulous salon at 6:30pm. Our first attempt was the salon that both Bella and Cam went to. It was no longer open so we had to improvise.
We found this really great place in Lynnwood that couldn't have been better. They were so nice and accommodating. They did everything from blow bubbles, to giving cookies for the distraction. Logan was very happy to be in the car until he realized someone was going to be cutting his hair.
He may look calm here, it's only a matter of time until the meltdown...
Toys were a little distraction until the nice lady brought out the clippers!
I was really impressed by her ability to work on a moving target!
Here is Logan trying to make his escape!
Time to break out the cookies, it definitely helped the situation.
Look at this handsome fella, he looks so cute with his new do. No more mullet people, you can stop giving me hard time :-)

Happy Halloween with the Leonardsons
Halloween at our house is always a fun event. We started out the morning with Bella going to school for her "harvest party" in class. My mom took a day of vacation to be with the kids and enjoy all the festivities. When Bella got home we made a delicious lunch of pumpkin shaped PB&J and of course pumpkin shaped apple slices. Quite crafty if I do say so myself. Finishing off the afternoon with a little Halloween cookie decorating extravaganza.
We had the cutest Tinkerbell and Captain Hook on the block! Notice the orange shirt under the fairy dress, and what you are not seeing is Cam's choice of footwear for the evening. He refused to wear anything but the jacket and completed his ensemble with none other than his beloved fireman rain boots. Who knew Captain Hook had such a sense for fashion.
We had the traditional visitors with our newest addition, cousin Daniel "the Lion". Logan would be the other adorable animal, a dalmatian in fact.
Of course we had to have the return of the family spider for the occasion. Thanks to Uncle Ed for keeping the tradition of scaring all the toddlers in our neighbor. Yes, it moves!
The evening ended with a very determined little boy patiently waiting for each and every "friend" to come over so he could say the required instruction of "take two please".
