Parties Parties and MORE Parties!!!!



Wow...it is truly amazing how fast time flies. These pictures are from the Children's Museum Member's Preview Party for the haunted house (this year's theme: Haunted train!!). We had so much fun at the festivities that we never made through the haunted house. We will plan on doing that tomorrow--during the "friendly hours" of course--lights on and happy gouls!!

Alex loves to dress in his costume as a train engineer, and he happily walks are around making choo choo noises. Noah is clueless about the whole Halloween thing, but he gets lots of giggles dressed as a railroad crossing signal! We entered the costume contest at the museum and did not even place!!! I think the whole thing is rigged since this little girl dressed as an ice cream cone (P-lease!!!!) won in TWO categories. Politics. Good thing I am not competitive (HA!).


This evening we went to ZOOBOO with Coici--what a blast! [we are getting a lot of use out of our costumes] Alex did his first official trick-or-treating through the zoo, although his "trick-or-treat" sounds a lot like "chicknchick"--whatever works!!!!


Noah had his speech evaluation yesterday, and we discovered that he actually has about 7 "words." His best word is probably "more" [wonder why!?] He may need a little speech therapy since at his age he is supposed to have 15-20 words.


We are gearing for a fab weekend--visit from Oma and Opa, haunted train, AND....The Willis Family Pumpkin Sacrifice Party. Technically it is a pumpkin CARVING party, but let's be honest....I have NO talent in this arena. Hopefully Opa will still be here and can help the boys carve a respectable pumpkin. Regardless, we are really looking forward to hanging out with our wonderful neighbors and friends. Alex just loves "Eddie" (the Willis' little man from Guat)--it is going to be so much fun having such good friends right across the street. We are truly blessed in our little house on Kenwood! Que lindo!!! (Ok, so I probably slaughtered that word in spanish--feel free to correct me!)
Con Amor,
Caren
