Tunnels and Trick or Treat

Zoe has given up on napping at what is generally considered a regular nap time. She has decided that it is much better to stay up all day long, wait until 5:30pm or 6:00pm, sleep for about an hour, and then party hard (and well rested) until bedtime. Well, the other day before the nap, but after a long day, she decided that she wanted to play with her tunnel. To try and be funny, I told her I was going to use it and I jammed myself in, like a sausage in a casing, and proceeded to tell her I was stuck. This didn't phase her as she proclaimed that she would still be able to use the tunnel, even with me wedged in there.

Thankfully Cheryl had the camera nearby.

As you can see, she couldn't just crawl through by herself, she needed to have a paci in her mouth and a wubby in her hand. Thankfully she got tired of it after the 13th time through the tunnel.

This past weekend I took Zoe up to Sesame Place to do some trick or treating. She had been talking about it all week and was very excited to go. She wore her Ariel costume that Cheryl made for her, which looks amazing, and I wore my Batman pajamas. I know what you're thinking, but don't worry. The slipper feet zipper off the bottom, so it was totally appropriate.

Sadly someone threw a fit and then someone else didn't react well to that, so we left earlier than we had planned. Thankfully we were able to hug it out and after a few Twizzlers, we're friends again, even if I am still too loud while she watches TV. Be sure to take a look at the Sesame Place Halloween set on Flickr to see more cuteness.

Riding Together for the First Time

Today my bike was finally fixed, so I picked it up from the shop before picking Zoe up from Science Club. When she saw my bike she was very excited to go for a ride. It was overcast all day, but the weather held out and it was a beautiful evening, so we rushed home, she finished all her homework, and I loaded her bike onto the car. I packed a bag with some water and a couple snacks and we made our way to Lorimer Park. Before we took off down the trail, I wanted to take a selfie, but I was so excited that I forgot my helmet, so there are two selfies. As soon as I finished the picture she took off down the path. Fortunately I was able to catch up, phone in hand, to take a few pictures as we cruised down the trail. I am a mostly competent bike rider, but trying to pay attention to her, and the trail, and keep myself upright while holding my phone was tricky. So, I decided to take some video where, for the most part, I could rest my hand on the handlebars. She is so good a...

Election Day

When Zoe was born, Barack Obama was the president. Today the country is voting to determine who will be president for the next four years. It will still be a long time before Zoe gets to cast her own vote, but when Cheryl got home today, the two of them went around the corner to our voting center and did their civic duty. Cheryl took a couple of pictures. The girls are asleep now, and the race is still too close to call, but I assume when we get up tomorrow (hopefully not in the middle of the night) we'll know who who won. I hope everyone got out to vote today! As you can see by her sticker, Zoe did.

Italy - Day 2 - Rome

Waking up in Rome to the sound of industrial work, we decided that today we would focus on Villa Borghese and all it has to offer, primarily a row boat rental. On the way there we passed by Piazza del Popolo where we took a few pictures. Zoe grabbed a phone and snapped a few for us, too! Once in the park we made a beeline for the boat rental. Along that line there were fountains and flowers we had never seen before, so we stopped for a quick look. My favorite is Zoe taking her own selfies. She makes such wonderful faces. Making our way through all of the distractions, we found the lake that surrounds the Temple of Asclepius and rented a boat. We all hopped in and I rowed us out into the water, but it wasn't long before Zoe insisted that she could paddle the boat, so we swapped spots and the cutest boat captain took over. Now this is very important because if you ask Zoe or Cheryl they're going to tell you a completely different story. At one point in our ...
