Park playdates

We've been meeting up somewhat regularly with our friends from Eric's old preschool. It's so nice to see them still since we're not going to school with them, and it's such a great group of kids and grown-ups that we all have a lot of fun. And even Talia has a friend to hang out with too.

PA Jr. Museum & Zoo

We met up with Lori & Kristin at Rinconada Park in Palo Alto on October 12. After playtime and a picnic lunch at the park, we spent some time at the Jr. Museum & Zoo.

Las Madres Halloween Party

It seems like every year our Halloween festivities start so early, which is great since the kids get plenty of use out of their costumes! We attended a playgroup Halloween Party two weeks before Halloween. Eric got dressed up for the occasion, but we didn't put Talia in her costume since it was quite warm that day. The kids got to do crafts, play with toys, eat yummy snacks and everyone got to socialize.

Fun Run!

It was a sea of tie-dye on October 10 at Eric's preschool. All of the kids showed school spirit by wearing their tye-died t-shirts (with the help of *many* parents, everyone tie-dyed t-shirts the week before), participating in Crazy Hair Day and running in the Fun Run.

If you're happy and you know it...

Eric was teaching Talia this well-known children's song. She loved learning the words, hand movements and getting all of his attention!

October was such a busy month!

Getting into the spirit of Halloween, we played around with makeup and possible costume ideas. Though Eric didn't dress up as an animal this year, we did use my eyeliner to make the under-eye marks football players have (what do you call those black lines???).
