Internet speed has been, well, not speedy lately. Blogging has been almost impossible but tonight it seems like it just might work. This will be brief in hopes that it will be a go. Since returning from our crazy trip, we have had a fun visitor (my good friend from college, Diane), two Halloween parties, a new round of colds, nice fall weather and then Sunday morning we woke to several inches of snow! And no heat on yet. The heat is now on a low setting and it takes the edge off, for which I am very thankful.
Took Diane to a trendy hotpot place around here...they have a playplace with childcare, free fruit and appetizers while you wait, this hip hop dancing noodle maker who makes your noodles before throwing it in the pot, free manicures and of course, yummy hot pot. Oh and ayis who will walk around and entertain your one year old for a long time!
Halloween (or actually, ahem, Harvest Party you dress up in costume for)..party number one...Chris gets points for getting the kids dressed up and taking them to the homeschool party by himself. I was out with Diane...he even cut out the black dots from construction paper for the little ladybug's costume.
Great Wall...the three of us went. It was fun, but we went to the closest part of the Wall. I had not been to that part since 1997...for a reason. SO SO crowded,ugh. But still beautiful.
Neighborhood party... number two. Austin changed costumes as you can see.
The Hosts with the Most...our neighbors Therese and Jim threw another great party..more perfect for our fam with a smaller crowd.
These Dads (aka mummies) did a dance routine that will not be soon forgotten! Chris "won" the contest.
Yes, early November snow is becoming a trend. Lucy wasn't sure what to think of it. Bennett wanted to go in about ten minutes after we got outside. Austin would have stayed out all day i think.
She could barely move in all her layers. As Chris said, she now looks like a Chinese baby in September...ha ha.
