Holloween 2009

We attended a party at our next door neighbours this evening. We tried to get Pepe to dress up, but once again, he said he wanted to be: "Pepe". He did agree to wear a "trick or treat" shirt. Chris bought for him a costume with a sword but he refused to wear it (can you spell, Thank God???). Chris and I did dress up - that's for you to figure out who we were (see pics below). Hint1: we are a singing couple. Hint2: "I've got you babe".


Yes, Sonny and Cher! Good job!

Someone got A LOT of candy
Can you tell he already tried some of it?

It's Fall...

It's been rather chilly around here lately. We had to buy pants for Pepe - thank God for those adjustable waist Gap/Old Navy pants - and bribe or distract him in order to wear them. The boy does not like change. "I don't like new clothes", he says. He prefers to wear his old pants, which are 3/4 length now, and his crocs (with no socks). The other day I successfully put a sweater on him while distracting him with some afternoon activity. The sweater was on, and he did not even notice it (he hates sweaters). But then Chris made the mistake and commented on how good he looked in the sweater, and Pepe wanted it off. Now. I had a temper tantrum and stated that the sweater will stay ON. On it stood, but with tears. The interesting thing is that once you put something new on him (sweaters and coats excluded), those things are not new anymore, and he no longer refuses to wear them. I tried to trick him into "this are old pants", but it does not work.

We've had a few busy weekends. We visited Karl, Michelle, ROsie and Rowen in New Haven 2 weekends ago, and we had lots of fun. The kiddies played well, Pepe got to see two lighthouses (west ledge and 5 mile), we went apple picking/donut eating, and managed to play quidler in the afternoon. Pepe impressed everyone with his pizza eating ability - 3 slices/sitting, followed by chocolate cake and icecream. I wonder where all that food goes. But then I look at Chris...Last weekend we went to Grandma's house again. Chris and I got out for a night and played air hockey and fuzzball (sp) and I got my but kicked! Of well. We also saw a movie and had some dinner out. NICE! Of course, we caught up on Madman and stayed up way too late. Loved it:)

Next weekend is a surprise birthday for Papi - I will make sure to get pics, followed by my marathon on Sunday. I can't believe how quickly time is going by. Pepe is aware of that, and he told me that "Pretty soon I am going to be old enough and you and daddy can leave me", and "I will not get married but I will have kids; I will work from home and feed my kids pizza and apple juice. I will let them play all day long and they will go to school sometimes. I will get money from the money machine. You and daddy can stay, if you want". "Mommy you should have a baby girl, soI can play with her toys, because I like her toys. I will be good to her, and if she messes up my trains, I will set them up again".

Will be back with pics. Happy Fall!
