Young Americans

Early post this week due to Stuart going to the Redskins game for Monday Night Football...

Friday morning, Lily and her classmates paraded through the school and then sang some Halloween songs for the crowd. Although Lily was a little shy at first, she warmed up by the end. Jack clapped through most of the show. Friday night brought trick-or-treating. While Lily did end up with a lot of candy, it was touch and go for awhile as to whether she would end up with any. She was a bit of a scaredy cat, and was pretty much scared of anyone wearing a mask, or any house decorated in any spooky manner. In any event, she scored some sugar, and her favorite this year are starbursts.

On Saturday, we played in the backyard and then headed over to Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom's to hang with Casey. Casey is scooting along, and is trying her best to keep up with Jack. Sunday was filled with play in the basement, Lily running errands with Stuart including a haircut at Cartoon Cuts (for Lily, not Stuart), a bike ride, and then some impromptu playing with neighbors Madelyne and Claire.

Lily and Jack want to send out special birthday hugs and kisses to Great Aunt Donna who is celebrating her birthday on Tuesday. And speaking of Tuesday, Lily and Jack want to remind their (American) readership to vote! We are hoping for good news Tuesday night/Wednesday morning...

So Halloween night I heard some papers rustling upstairs after Lil when to bed and thought nothing of it. Later, when I checked in on her, she had dragged her balloon with the attached paper bag into her room. She was holding on tight when this pic was taken.


Examining the haul the next morning.
