Our tradition of going to the Giant Pumpkin Festival was of course a 'Smash', or at least that is how they kick off the celebration. Two thousand pounds of pumpkin falling forty feet can really wreck a car, and the winning pumpkin this year was 1364 lbs!
Peiwei turned 7 months old and started solid foods, yet some how still manages to make a mess. Maybe I just need to lower my expectations and realize she still doesn't have complete control of her tongue yet, or maybe it is due to her still always being happy and smiling . . . it is just leaking out through her grin!
Preparations for Halloween must of course include pumpkin carving (or pumpkin sucking in Peiwei's case). This year Lulu's pumpkin aimed for a galaxy far, far away . . . while Red's actually went for a scary face that in years' past has been happy or funny or girl-ly. (Your Dad is so proud of you 'weep', 'weep'.)
Halloween of course is always a grand event hosting the latest in Forest Fairy and Vampire fashion. Not to mention, after going Trick-Or-Treating for 2.5 hours, a great way to supplement cold school lunches in these trying economic times. (Should the recession continue until next Halloween, when this years candy finally runs out, we will try and stay out 5-6 hours which should allow us to continue supplementing their lunches and just fore-go sandwiches, fruit, and anything healthy.)
And finally, Happy Birthday Red!
