Tomorrow is the big day!!!!  I have training all day where lunch is provided.  I can pretty much guarantee that I won’t be able to eat much (if anything) provided, so I packed!

Here’s everything I’m eating tomorrow until dinner:

Salad with grilled tofu, quinoa salad, balsamic vinegar (for my dressing), string cheese, cucumbers (from the garden), hummus, watermelon, apples, and overnight oats (to eat in the morning before I go).

All packed up:

Shaun got a turkey and ham sandwich and chips. Plus overnight oats too.

We’ve been BUSY this weekend.  My aunt and uncle came to visit from Bakersfield.  Here’re some fun pictures.

Breakfast with the lions again!

Meeting a Walaby!

The butterfly exhibit:

Just being freaking cute:

Silly Daddy/Uncle Shaun:

Wish me luck!

Wow! What a weekend! Lu got to wear her costume at least 5 times this weekend.  She loved it!  We’ve washed it and I’m sure it’ll be making an appearance again!

The first event? Playgroup where they practiced with their costumes, “bobbed for apples” (scooped crab apples) and “trick or treated” (they knocked on doors and Moms would open them and give them a block in their bucket-it was cute!

“Bobbing for apples”:

Lucy (the Giraffe) and Tessa (the Zebra) on their way to The Y Party:

There were too many people there for Lu’s taste but Tessa LOVED it:

On Saturday we went to the Boise Philharmonic Philharmonsters, first there was activities-an instrument petting zoo where Lu tried to play a violin but REALLY liked the xylophone.  Lu wanted her face painted but couldn’t get the nerve up to let the lady do it.  Mommy, Auntie Lala, and Tessa all got hearts but Lu wasn’t so sure.  After the activities, the different sections of the Philharmonic (strings, wind, horns) played spooky music. We were running into lunch and naptime and the girls lasted about 30 minutes.  It was really neat.  Here we are before going in:

Shaun got an ear infection this weekend and while he slept it off and after Lu’s nap, I went grocery shopping and Lucy hung out with Auntie Lala and Tessa.  Auntie Lala figured out how to get Lucy to wear her giraffe hood-wings!

It’s a fairy giraffe!

On Halloween, we took the girls in the wagon down to Harrison Street. 

On our way there we saw a beautiful double rainbow. What does it mean?!?!

Harrison Street is CRAZY on Halloween.  We just went to check it out and visit our friends that live there. They stop when they hit 1,000 trick or treaters!!! This was at 5:15-I can’t imagine it at 7 or 8!

Look at these pumpkins!

Trick or Treating was a success!

Next up? Unkie Jake and Aunt Amy’s wedding in Mexico!!
