Halloween was so much fun this year!! To keep in tradition, rick came over to help us pass out candy to ALL of westchase. And we even had Amelie, Jacopo, & Miss Emma join us. Jack and Emma went trick or treating (which really consisted of Amelie and i walking around the block saying hello to everyone and refusing candy) while the boys stayed in the driveway to pass out goodies. The weather was nice and cool and fun was had by ALL!

Laundry Basket Fun...

This week we discovered the laundry basket... and oh how jack loves to play peek-a-boo with mommy and daddy! too funny, i know! he just started crawling on his tummy too... it is not quite crawling on all fours but he can certainly move from one end of the room to the other on his little tummy! Yay! and unfortunately, he is still sleeping in our bed from 12 to 8am (in his crib from 8pm to 12 am)... but once he is officially over this cold i will try letting him cry it out. wish us luck:)

October Fest

such a cute puppy dog!

look at all his teeth

playing in the grass

This weekend was October Fest in westchase. As the secretary of the Westchase Community Foundation (we sponsored this event), it was my job to get all of our marketing materials together for this weekend. So i ordered business cards, brochures, folders, and letterhead (which came out way cute). We put up a tent, gave out all of our info, and even raffled off a Wii. The event was a big hit! And... Jack even got to roll around in the grass and play with the cutest little puppy dog ever - SAMMI!

Oh, and my awesome cousin Ashley also came in to visit for the weekend. She was a great help at October Fest!! We love you Ash... please come visit us again soon!
