Parties, Festivals, and Life in the Hood

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. Wow --- ours was very busy, but really fun! On Saturday, we went to a friend's 2nd birthday party at an awesome park that we'd never been to. I would say that this is the first party that Bear Cub has really enjoyed. He played hard and wanted desperately to sit next to the birthday girl while eating lunch. Oh yea...he's a ladies' man, alright. ;) She, of course, paid no attention to him, but he was happy sitting there with her! He also loves to sing "Happy Birthday" so he was ready for that to begin too. And really, this is the first time that he's gotten into the eating of the cupcake at a party. I do believe that one of his two-year molars is THE sweet tooth. I knew it would come eventually....

Also on Saturday, we hit our local Fall Festival. Not too much for BC, except for the few farm animals that were there. But we basically got there as they were being loaded up, so we got to witness the excitement of the goats, sheep, and pig being loaded into the trucks. The highlights were really us enjoying the beautiful weather, and gawking at the interesting carnies that worked the rickety-looking rides. Yikes!

Sunday was just a very relaxing day and we really enjoyed just being at home.

This week for us...Halloween, of course!! :) Thursday Bear Cub is having a little Halloween party with 5 of his friends here at the house. I have the itch to cut out some pumpkin and bat shapes, so why not do some easy crafts with these mini-students?!?!? :) It should be fun...costumes optional and lots of good Halloween snacks to be eaten. Will BC wear his duck outfit??? THAT is the big question around here. We will soon find out!

Enjoy the pictures from our weekend and have a wonderful week ahead! I'll be sure to post pictures after our little party on Thursday, and of course, after Friday's trick-or-treating adventure as the cutest lil' duck in town. QUACK! (or TWACK! as Bear Cub would say!)

P.S. Cold front coming our way!! Tomorrow's highs are only supposed to be in the upper 60s! Woo-hoo!! We can not wait! Break out the coats...it's winter in Florida! ;)

All smiles after checking out the animals...he LOVES them all!

Check out the bootie on that pig!

In BC's very own words, "Be nike doat" or "Be like goat!" He likes to imitate animals and what they're doing. Apparently one goat had his mouth open wide. He is too funny!

Look at these sweet Dachsund puppies! Bear Cub loved watching them play. And no, Zoe does NOT have another doggie friend. These guys were cute, but not THAT cute. ;)

Judging from this face, I'd say that Bear Cub had fun at our little Fall Festival!

And here's the part about "Life in the Hood." Yup, it's just him with a hood up.
