R-O-A-R!!

We couldn't get the kids to cooperate on Halloween. Neither Michael nor Miranda wanted anything to do with costumes *on* Halloween so we didn't push it, and so no fun pictures that day. However, earlier last week both of them wanted to be bears, so out we got the hand-me-downs from Leah and I caught some cute pictures!

Fun Care Bear facts for the other 30-somethings out there who had the originals!

• Care Bears celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2007
• There were originally 10 Care Bears: Bedtime, Birthday, Cheer, Friend, Funshine, Good Luck, Grumpy, Love-A-Lot, Tenderheart and Wish Bear
• The Care Bear's main job was to monitor the Caring Meter and go on missions to create more caring in the world, so the meter would point at the rainbow on one end, and not the rain clouds on the other.
• Some elements of the Care Bears franchise pay homage to the legend of King Arthur. For example, the name of the main characters' residence, Care-a-lot, is a play on King Arthur's legendary Camelot castle. The Care Bear Family sits around a heart-shaped table, similar to the Round Table used by Arthur and his knights. In addition, Sir Lancelot's name inspired that of Love-A-Lot Bear.
