Summer's here...?

Snow Day!

Charlie's Bday

For Charlie's 3rd, we decided to go to Gymagine. He loves it there. It's
basically a place where kids run around like loons and bounce on trampolines
and burn off energy like crazy. We said oh yes!
Charlie's 'old' friends (Jake, Emmy, Nicky and Makena) were there, as well
as lots of new friends from preschool.
Of course cupcakes (that looked like caterpillars), Goldfish, and juice boxes
were in full supply. All in all, it had all the elements that a toddler
birthday needs. And the kids had a great time!
(OK, minus one throwing up incident.. what else do you expect? ;-)

Halloween

We had lots of fun this year, since Charlie grasped the concept of Halloween
(i.e. getting candy from strangers) very well.
We went trick or treating in our neighborhood. Charlie was so excited to
run up to the door, ring the bell and say "Trick or Treat!"
When we got home he wanted to see all his candy right away. I totally
remember doing that as a kid. Guess some things are just universal.
We let him have a couple pieces and then he helped us pass out candy at
our door. He showed great self-control (which I didn't even know he had! ;-)
passing out the candy and not asking for any.
Brian and I had a ball watching him on his first 'real' Halloween. Our
favorite quote of the night was when a girl came to the door dressed as a
devil. After we closed the door Charlie said, "I don't like the yak."
Maybe you had to be there....
