Well, we’ve packed away all the Halloween decorations (actually, last week) and have started getting ready for Thanksgiving. But our Halloween was really fun this year.
We have so many neighbors with kids in our new neighborhood that you got tired of Trick or Treating before we even made it around our own parking lot. We are in a townhouse surrounded by three other clusters of townhouses and we had great plans to visit them all, but alas you were pooped.
Prior to the actual night we took you to Boo at the Zoo in Baltimore where you had a great time manhandling pumpkins, participating in the costume contest and doing a bit of candy grabbing at the vendor booths.
Your costume this year was picked out by you. You told your Mom you wanted to be an Entomologist (because once, she told you that those were the scientists that studied butterflies. And you LOVE butterflies). Your Mom actually bought you a pair of butterfly wings because you talk about them all the time.
Daddy was a spider bite victim to make sure we had matching costumes again this year.
Since it is getting late in November, our new trees are dropping leaves quickly. You helped Daddy rake leaves and plan on doing it this week with mommy if the weather permits. It’s been very wet and sometimes foggy.
You have also been a spelling dynamo this month. You can remember nearly EVERYTHING you see when you’re out with Mommy and spell it when you get home. The other day you spelled “Crane Plumbing” and it was something you saw when Mommy was changing your diaper in the mall. What a pair of eyes!
You and Daddy also took some time over last weekend to watch the Arsenal game. Unfortunately we lost, but had a great time saying “Oh to be a GOONER!”
It's Campbell Time!
