Halloween 2011

My little pooh bear and jumping monkey.






(poor monkey waiting for a flood with those length of pants from a too small costume- dressing it up with the hello kitty slippers)

Our stuff had been packed up the day before Halloween and was on its way to Wisconsin, so I had to make sure and leave out the costumes for trick or treating. This year I decided we would save the $20 and re- use last years costumes as this would probably be the last year I could do so with iz ;), and she always seemed to change her mind when I asked what she wanted to be...(red riding hood, wolf, rainbow butterfly, fairy, dolphin, etc etc). We had to laugh when we pulled the costumes out and they had stains all over them. Perfect. Just perfect. Well guess we will be re-using stained costumes. Poor kids!

We went to my friends renea's house for dinner and so that I could say goodbye before we headed off on the 1st
I yelled to graham to grab the good camera from my must have stash of things for the trip- but alas batteries dead and the chargers- on the truck to Wisconsin. So all pics are from the trusty iPhone.



Me and renea- oh I miss u already! What good times we had sharing "how many hours of sleep did u get last night" stories, and "has your 3 year old ever...." stories. Pool swim lessons, stroller walks, our failed book club ;( And the drinks, must not forget the drinks and good conversation! Thank you for your generosity and kindness, I'm so glad we had each other!



Biz and little graham.



Iz loved trick or treating and literally ran from house to house fearlessly knocking at each door, even trying to convince us that some houses without lights still had a light on to say we should go up and knock. Bodes also kinda likes it- although just wanted to eat each piece of candy he got- chewing right through the wrappers. He did try a new form of trick or treating in which you " trade" a piece of candy from a previous house to a new one at current house, leaving the unwanted piece behind;). we met up with our friends bao, nancy and viet and continued to trick or treat before drinks and final goodbyes with our neighbors. A fun final hooray, Bernard street style.
