AJ began the month with a field trip with his preschool class to daddy's fire station. You might think that AJ would be beaming and on his best behavior. Not the case. AJ was naughty and kept asking when we could leave. I guess when you spend Christmas and your birthday at the fire station the novelty has worn off. My mistake.
Our first soccer season started in October as well. My observations are: Cienna is afraid of any sport that contact may happen. She likes sports where glitter is incorporated in some part of the uniform (i.e. cheer leading / gymnastics). She can run fast, but soccer does not appear to be her thing.
AJ could teach a seminar to professional soccer players on how to sell an injury to a ref. He is the king of flopping on the ground and writhing in pain if the ball gets taken away from him. Once we gave him a pep talk he turned it around and surprised us with total domination on the field.
October also brought the Balloon Fiesta and as a result, lots of family visits. First we saw Tony's Uncle Tim and Aunt Donna. Cienna and Donna quickly became besties...
Next came a visit from Tony's brother Chris, his lady love Wendy and her daughter Breann. It was total awesomeness!
We rounded out October with the neighborhood Harvest Festival (which aparently I am now completely in charge of!) with little orphan Annie and Daddy Warbucks,
trick or treating on Halloween night with Annie and Spiderman,
and a Dia de los Muertos celebration!
