Tonight, I read The Magic School Bus Visits the Ocean Floor to Bree and Cate for bedtime. Which prompted a discussion about a video we had watched several months ago about a daddy seahorse giving birth to many hundreds of seahorses.

Halloween 2017
Pirate Rainbow Dash (from the MLP movie, with a bandana and “goggles” she made herself), Countess Minnula (Minnie Mouse/Dracula, complete with cape and “fangs”), and Princess Luna (MLP outfit she put together herself). It was fun watching them all customize their costumes this year. I love their creativity and imagination.
