A November Walk

We had a wonderful long holiday weekend.

Family visited for Thanksgiving-we pot lucked this year. We participated in the Festival Fete craft fair. Amira got to go to the Roger Williams Park and Zoo with Grandma and Grandpa. We went to Ikea to try to organize Amira's room. And still we had time to go to the Arnold Arboretum and pick up pine cones. The beautiful weather we have been experiencing this late November has helped facilitate our productivity. Once the weather is back to freezing, I will be hibernating inside again.

Happy Halloween

"Get the Joker, Batman!"

The audio of which sounds more like "Get em yogurt Batman!"

So we made Amira a Batman costume. She, for once, was excited to wear her hat, and did so until the rest of her costume was complete.

At first she was hesitant to put on the costume, until she had the cape on. Then it all came alive for her, and she was hooked.

The introduction of candy to this holiday has sealed the deal.

We have been looking at these scare crows all month.

Amira was a little shy to go up to the houses without being held by mom and dad. Though as the candy kept coming, her confidence built up.

Adrian tried to decorate our house to lure some trick or treaters to our street. Our adjacent street is mobbed with kids, but as a side street, it is a little quite here. That's fine, a peaceful night to eat our booty. I mean, Amira can't eat all her candy:)

Some time at the Park

Wheee!

Ahhh! Skin burn.

I need to learn to slide like an expert.

Luckily I have a good teacher!

Amira is an expert at having fun at the Park!

Now on to our long weekend!
