A Happy Halloween

Items on this year's agenda: Pirate Themed Murder Mystery Party; Boo at the Zoo; Trunk or Treat; Trick or Treating...

Aidan loved the lights at Boo at the Zoo - he kept shouting, "WHOOOAAAA!"

 

 

For trunk or treat we really coordinated this year: Aidan was a mummy, Steve was a FCB player and I was a fairy...

 

 

Trick or treat!! 

Shocko Milk Peese

Steve's day is never complete without a large glass of chocolate milk and sometimes he adds a few cookies. Lately, Aidan has been following suit - he wants his chocolate milk right after he wakes up from his nap and usually after dinner too (especially when he sees that Daddy is having some). My boys L-O-V-E their chocolate milk.

A huge thank you to our sponsors for making our lives complete:

All Hail Shocko Milk!

He Loves Kung Fuuuuuu!

I'm thinking we may need to start counting the number of times we watch Kung Fu Panda; every time we ask Aidan what movie he wants to watch (and also when we don't), he says "Pana Moowee". Despite the number of times he seen this though, he still watches intently and gets excited when Po falls from the sky and when he is fighting Tai Lung. He also says "fuuuuuuuu" with his head up as well.

A Close Runner Up: Horton Hears A Who

Our First *Official* Family Trip

San Francisco Here We Come! Our first real family vacation had its ups and downs, but overall it was a lot of fun and will not be forgotten.

Ups:

• The flight with the first time flyer was perfect. Aidan fell asleep soon after we took off and woke up right before we landed. 
• Our hotel was very nice - it had a great restaurant, pool, comfy bed and backed to a walking trail.
• We ate at some great places:
  
• Sears Fine Foods (world famous for their little pancakes)
• Ghirardelli Square
• And this yummy italian place, Piazza Pellegrini
  
• We had GREAT seats at the game - first row!

Downs:

• We had to wait an hour for our rental car, the time was quickly passed with the help of our favorite train and hellicopter, Thomas and Harold.
• Our rental car (with carseat and gps) was towed and impounded. (Note for future trips - read all signs!)
• Steve had to yell at a Chivas fan for dancing in front of us.
• I thought Aidan could wear a water diaper and be okay for an hour or two...
  

Sneeze Monster

Main Entry: sneeze

Pronunciation: \ˈsnēz\
Function: intransitive verb
Inflected Form(s): sneezed; sneez·ing
Etymology: Middle English snesen, alteration of fnesen, from Old English fnēosan; akin to Middle High German pfnūsen to snort, sneeze, Greek pnein to breathe

:to make a sudden violent spasmodic audible expiration of breath through the nose and mouth especially as a reflex act

Aidan has been fake sneezing whenever he hears someone else sneeze. The sneezes actually sound real too. It's so cute, we can't help but encourage it by saying "bless you" every time.
