Welcome to the end of October, when we typically have horrible weather in NYC (2011: Snowtober; 2012: Sandy), but when we also have many things to celebrate, including E's fifth birthday and the preparations for everyone's favorite non-holiday: Halloween.
E's birthday was rainbow-dacious, with colorful streamers, balloons, and a colorful cast of characters that came over to celebrate the event with her. According to one count, we had 32 people in our small apartment at one point. Good thing we had enough homemade rootbeer for the group (for the record, unless you like the way old books smell and would like a glass of that smell, I do not recommend getting homemade rootbeer from Dutch Haven in Intercourse, PA.).
This weekend we finally got around to carving our pumpkins. For the record, we made:
H: A big H
E: A beautiful princess
E: A beautiful princess
J: A person walking a dachshund
K: A mouse
Because E got a camera for her birthday, H has developed a fascination for cameras. Here are two of his best shots.
We also met up with visiting friends this weekend at the Transit Museum (which the kids enjoyed), where we had the fanciest-pants doughnuts imaginable (which I enjoyed thoroughly).
