Happy Halloween!

Yesterday was Halloween! What a day! The kids dressed in their costumes for the morning,and we strolled down Fillmore Street showing all the locals their costumes. On the way home we managed to gatecrash a local party, with a host of kids and adults in costume (the best one was the newborn baby and his dad who dressed as a chef with lobster in a pot! Very funny and cute!). In the late afternoon we went down one of the other local streets, which holds an annual Halloween walk for the kids and then spent the evening with some of our good friends. It was a great night as the kids got to play with their friends and then go trick or treating together. We ended up trick or treating in the Pac Heights area, where some of the houses (read 'mansions'...) had gone all out for the night. The kids had a great time! Oh, and I forgot to mention the whole family got dressed up too...I'll let you guess the theme...

Grandparents Visit

Stephen's parents have been visiting this past week, so the kids have had the chance to spend some quality time with their grandparents!

Soccer Fun

We had another party this weekend, this time it was a soccer party at one of the local parks with the kids from school. Z was a bit skeptical about the whole thing, but once he got into it he had a great time. A was a huge fan as well and kept picking up her ball and heading to the area with the big kids to join in all the fun!

Visitors

We've been lucky enough to have some visitors these past two weeks, firstly from Australia and now from Canada... Here are some photos..

Parties and the Blue Angels

Summer is definitely the time for parties, and we've been to a couple over the last few weeks. We also had the Blue Angels in town, and as luck would have it, Z and Mum found a Blue Angels airplane at a garage sale that same weekend, so Z had a great time playing with it while the planes flew overhead. It was A's first time to see the Blue Angels. I'm not sure quite what she thought of all the fuss, but now whenever she hears a plane she stops and points to the sky, whether she's outside or not!
