What, you think you can buy my affection with a bribe?
OK, OK, you canWe went out for yummy breakfast together and then our usual grocery shopping before heading back home for a nap.
I liked the pink sugar packets better than the blue
Punkin' in my PJ's
Sunglasses and boba. It's a good life.In the afternoon, we headed to the park to take advantage of the gorgeous weather. Texas in the fall -- when the rain goes away, that is -- is definitely a good thing.
Oh, I am SO going to catch you
Ready to slide!
Look over there!At night, we all went to my school for the Fall Festival. I'll bet I was one of the few kids there with my own entourage.
Um, Mommy, why are we at school at night?
Excited to see Sofia
Petting the exotic animal
Decorating my cookie
And a quick taste test tells me it's good
Coloring with A-Yi
This was my favorite of all the activities.
Thanks for a great evening!Halloween morning was my playgroup's annual Halloween Party (it can be considered "annual" even though it's only the second year, right?). Last year's 41 people (13 babies and 28 adults) was NOTHING compared to the 81 people there this year (30 kids and 51 adults)! We've certainly come a long way. Plus, last year only some of the kids were mobile; this year, it was 30 walking, running, tripping, climbing toddlers all over each other and the community center. With all the new babies that are being born right now to my friends' mommies, I have a feeling that next year will be even crazier ... it may get worse before it gets better!
All dressed up ready to par-tay!I'm grapes, and Mommy's dressed as a pumpkin.
My playgroup ... well, most of us.
Grapes with bib
Forget the bib; this is much easier
Eating a "spider"
The best toy ever ... ice!
You can eat it
You can throw it
But you can't keep me away from it!I had a slight wardrobe change while at the party. I've been wearing my grape costume around the house for a few weeks now and love it, but as soon as I saw Sofia's cute pumpkin outfit, I wanted to be a pumpkin, too! I immediately screeched until Mommy took off my costume and walked around dressed as, well, a hussy until she came up with a suitable alternative. Luckily, she had brought an orange shirt with her and Sofia let me borrow her pumpkin hat, so I got to be pumpkin after all.
But I don't want to be grapes any more!
Temporarily appeased by my impromptu pumpkin outfit.
Thank goodness Mommy came prepared with an extra shirt just in case.
Pooped after the party. Kids, do not try this at home!
Now we're pumpkins togetherThe doorbell started ringing that evening with kids going around the block, and I got into the trick-or-treat spirit by passing out candy. Later, I went trick-or-treating with Sofia and our entourage. I was so wound up and excited from everything around me -- or it could have been the M&Ms I had before we left -- I would have to stop every so often while we walked just to give a little scream (eep!) and release some of my energy. The only uh-oh moment was when Sofia wanted to sit in my car, but then we quickly took care of that problem because I only wanted to sit in her stroller. Crisis averted!
My very first trick or treat experience ... 
... Or, as I like to call it ...
... "more? more? please? please?"
This is fun!
We decided to trade our rides and our drivers
Daddy helps with the stairsbefore we stopped skipping the houses with stairs altogether
While the mommies take a break
My last trick-or-treater: I don't know WHAT you are
But I'll give you a candy anyways
Quick, put more in my basket while nobody's lookingSo much happened this weekend, plus with Gong-Gong there you KNOW there were a lot of pictures, so I created a whole separate album for lots of extra pics from my spook-tacular Halloween weekend. Also, you can click on any of my pictures in my blog to see them bigger. Thank you, Gong-Gong, for helping to capture so many moments. Not only does Mommy appreciate it, so do all of my friends' mommies!
I'm not sure how to thank you; how about an M&M?

Wow what an adventure! I bet your Mommy wished she had another weekend to recover from the weekend!
Her grape costume was so cute on her! Didn't really get to see it at the party. Glad she wore it that night. The Fall festival looked like a lot of fun. Claire's fur vest is so chic. Love it! That orange shirt isn't bad either ; )
