How is everyone out there? Hopefully still checking in now and then on us. We had a really fun Halloween and hope you all did as well. My pumpkin carvers in the last Blog were, Hera - Mummy, Athena - Skull, and Ted - Bat. We discovered that the Arizona climate makes your pumpkins shrivel really fast. Good thing we did them only a few days before Halloween.


Here are my girls all dressed up. The girls had to meet up with friends after Chess therefore they never made me up like they wanted too. I can't say I am too upset by that. Isi is now a candy addict and harasses me for more junk all day long. On Halloween night she would yell, 'Come back!' at the top of her lungs (sounded mad) at all the kids who started walking away after getting their treats. She also thought when she went up to people's doors to trick-or-treat that was her cue to try and get in their house. Because of the weather everyone in the neighborhood grabs lawn chairs and sits in their driveways to hand out candy and chat with neighbors (at least that saved on how many houses Isi tried to get into).


Isn't Hera smart and beautiful in her new glasses? I am so happy she can see better and she likes her glasses.

Finally we had Isi's birthday, Souvlaki party. A few people we invited never made it due to illness. Isi must think a birthday lasts a whole month. While she opened her gifts the other kids had to be right in there helping her tooo much. Good thing she doesn't mind yet.

I had to put this picture up because every time I look at it it cracks me up. I can't get over the silly expression on her face and that she is covered in pop and food. Must be a sugar high.

Isi is blowing out her candles all by herself. We put on the number two and two regular since she has so much fun blowing them out, one just wasn't enough. I made her a 'Baked Alaska' cake. My meringue wasn't as stiff as it should have been, I guess I had too much wine before trying to make it and added too much sugar.

Till next time,
