New Video

Also, I have a new video. (Sorry Grandpa and Grandma--your names are harder to say!)

Party Time

This Saturday we went back to the garden at the old house to get a pumpkin. They actually grew!

There were three little ones, but we just took one. We needed it to paint at Thomas's and Henry's birthday party.

If this lady ever invites you to a party

you need to move heaven and earth to attend. She really knows how to throw them. It was a costume party (they were the Little Red Riding Hood story characters), but Anda's costume was too hot to put on her. Hopefully we'll get some pictures of her in it before Thanksgiving.

I didn't get any good pictures of the cute games and awesome food, but I got plenty of the most important component: the bounce house. I have never seen my child love anything as much as she loved that bounce house. If any grandparents are looking for a Christmas gift for her, a personal princess castle bounce house would be an acceptable stocking stuffer.

Between the bounce house and the delicious treats, Anda had no interest in leaving. Ever. She also had no interest in learning the difference between a cupcake and a cupcake liner.

Thanks for inviting us, Melissa!

Family Pictures

My sisters helped us take some family pictures this past weekend. I think they turned out pretty well.

Roseola is such a pretty word

Someone has been sick lately.

So we've been watching a lot of Sesame Street and Disney movies. And by "we" I mean "I," since it's hard to watch a movie when you are sleeping or writhing in discomfort. Or when you are only one and a half.

The good news is that The Princess and the Frog inspired me to make some of my own man catching beignets.

They passed the taste test and they are adorable, but the man catching assessment will have to wait until Dan gets home.
