Smile!

Big fat smiles all week from Isaac. Also, Alden has finally come down from his Halloween chocolate high. I've never seen him spaz out like he did after a small bar of chocolate. Papa, be warned, you give him chocolate, we leave for the movies.

Alden also acquired a new motorcycle...this one sings Bad Moon Arising and has a dancing skeleton on top of it. I saw this in the store, considered it and said "No." Christa saw it in the store, saw the sale price and said "Yes!". Alden agrees, "YES! YES! YES!" I'm clearly out voted.

Christa is still preparing for her defense next Tuesday, lot's of lake pictures. In other news, Alden can now say, "Was' up hot mama?" and "Daddy's a dork." Kids, sheesh!

The Dinosaur and the Pepper

So even though Halloween isn't quite over yet, we went to the Howl-O-Ween at the zoo last night. Alden was a roaring dinosaur (sans hat, he doesn't like wearing the head of the dino). He's savvy enough to say he's a T-Rex. What's really funny is that when Alden wear's his dino costume, he likes to play with his toy cars, and it's like watching a Godzilla movie. Thanks, Grandmama Placzek, great costume!

Isaac had no choice in the matter, he is a Chili Pepper. Click on the pictures for a larger pic. We also saw Alden's friend Finley at the Zoo, and his mom had made him into a bug, very cute. Check out the Elvis costume my friend Courtney made for her 1 year old baby (look in the Frog's index to the right at From Fear to Maternity).

In other news, Christa got all her forms signed, so it looks like she'll be dressing up as Dr. Placzek come the New Year. A long road, but she drove it brilliantly. Hip hip hooray!
