very hard workers

max and z have a newfound passion they developed at school: they adore 'WORK' and ask for 'lessons' all the time. raking leaves is a favorite activity.
















max is especially diligent. he can work ceaselessly until everything is cleaned up.








































Zadie's favorite thing is to 'do the dishes'... every night :)

helping daddy is the best fun...

max's first haircut & halloween

one week alone he was told 5 times that he was 'such a pretty girl'...
max realllly needed a haircut












3 years old and he never even had it trimmmed













kind of unsure about the process
























but he really ended up enjoying it and now wants it cut shorter next time.









halloween: max wanted to be a big fat pumpkin and zadie wanted to be...a princess, a ghost, a piece of broccoli, a rainbow and eventually settled on ' a pink pumpkin with purple polka-dots and a cat face'











max loved being able to bounce off of walls and roll on top of his sister










z liked being pink











our pumpkins





































our neighbor stephen was jerry lewis' nutty professor

















Ania (a very good mummy) and michael joined us and collected lots of chocolates
