i have not been a dutiful blogger as of late. here is a quick recap of things that have happened in our world
ok we'll start with halloween
it all began with the pumpkin patch.
quickly followed up by a halloween party at a near-by country club where our friends are members (fancy!)...it really was a fun party but i think stella was a bit too young for all the festivities, but it was to get out of the house (and so cold!!)
we then hosted a halloween party for our friends. i had an outdoor movie playing for the kiddos (scooby doo and its the great pumpkin patch charlie brown!...which was a huge hit). i made a little maze out of our neighbor's moving boxes for the kids to run through, which was smashed to smithereens by the end of the night (sadly didn't get a picture of smashed existence). i was still feeling pretty puny so i crashed early and kyle stayed up with the partiers until 3am. all in all it was a good turn out and i'm glad we did it, especially since i will be out of town for Lights in the Heights this year!! :(
then it was halloween night! our first "trick or treat" experience. this term is used loosely because there really wasn't any trick or treating going on, more like taking a walk. our friends JB and Estela were home and passing out candy on their porch so we joined them. stella got her first lollipop, and she was obsessed. it was really funny and really sticky.
so here are a slew of photos from what i just described.
