Happy Halloween 2011

01 Nov 2011

Here’s my snapshots from my new iPhone (not bad…?) We went trick or treating with Ariel, and his dad Andrew is the Rockstar in the photos. They were super fun, and their neighborhood (West Clay) rocks. All along Lake Street is so fun. (They had a kick-ass band!)
Mark used to go trick-or-treating there as a kid! I love that. Omi and Opi let us park in their garage (thanks!) Both kids were really into it this year – it was a classic!

Also, here’s some cute shots from this year’s Clarendon Halloween Carnival. Oscar went thru the haunted house with me, and was FREAKED. It was scary. (awesome scary.) He was the only kid in his class who had the nerve to do it – or so I heard. Trouble is, he got so scared I bet he won’t go back next year. :) He didn’t even want to talk about it, for fear we get the idea of making him go again. P.S. That’s Bianca, but don’t make the mistake of calling her his girlfriend!

Hello October!

06 Oct 2011

What a cute idea – from Martha of course…

(Here’s a screen shot in case the link doesn’t endure:)

Oscar is planning to be an Archer from the Roman Empire. (Specifically differentiated from Robin Hood.)
Lucy will be a Kitty Cat.

More details to follow, when we get back from New York. Everything in our world is now On Hold until we return from vacation. (i.e. Lucy’s Birthday, Halloween, etc.)

Oscar will be journaling his trip – hopefully I can share that here. Stay tuned…

Happy Halloween 2010!

01 Nov 2010

M eanwhile, back at the casa… It was a RACE to carve the giant jack-o-lanterns, scrap together a ninja costume, pose for photos, pack up the crew, and get to our party on time. Thank heavens for Cole and Kiera (all the good photos below are Cole’s). We were invited to Oscar’s classmate’s home for Halloween. Shayan is such a sweetie, and his mom, Shideh, decorated their whole flat. We had lots for yummy food and drink, and they even put the game on. What game? No, you did not just ask that. (p.s. Below, note Mark’s clever “man-bag” full of G-men!)
So everyone was having a great time when it became time to head out for trick-or-treating. We walked along 6th avenue towards Lake St., where 6th dead ends. Then we came back the other side of the street. There were lots of people: young kids in really cute costumes! The weather was Awesome. Everyone was in a great mood. Then we came home (the kids were tired) in time to see the Giants Win! High fives and Candy.

Oscar’s Check up at Dr. Ernsters

25 Oct 2010

By the numbers:

47 pounds (89th percentile)

44 ¾ inches tall (89th percentile)

BMI 17 ½

and his blood pressure was 98 over 58.

Dr. Ernster wanted to make sure he was getting his 4 cups of milk a day (he is.)
The nurse gave him his flu shot by nasal squirt so no needle drama.
That was pretty much it.
