Halloween 2015

As mentioned previously, the family was dressed up as the characters from Wreck-It Ralph this year for Halloween. Zoe was Venelope Von Schweets, Cheryl was King Candy and I was Wreck-It Ralph. Before we went to the West Philly parade, we took some pictures on the stoop. Here are a few.



Apart from the scoreboard, which Zoe liked, she was also really into the necklace I made. She kept insisting that she made it because in the movie her character made it for my character. It was super cute. On the way to the parade I made sure Zoe was safe and held my hand. She didn't have much trouble grabbing onto my over-sized mitts.



While we were there we ran into a group of her friends dressed up as the Three Amigas. They all looked really good.



There were lots of treats at the conclusion of the parade. Zoe made sure to bring me some so I could share with her.



We parked the car near the end of the parade route because we were heading out to a Halloween wedding. Once we were outside the venue, on the wrong block, Zoe was happy to pose with me one more time for a couple of photos before heading in.



Zoe was pretty good during the ceremony. Of course, she doesn't like having her picture taken when binky is in.



Towards the end of the night there was some dancing going on. Zoe was pretty in to all of the music and doing a really good job of shaking her booty. Later in the evening she got hold of a cat o' nine tails and was having a great time whipping booty.



A good time was had by all, even if some folks had trouble sitting down the next day.

Paris - Day Five: Louvre, More Gardens, Photobooths, Macaroons, Love

Today was scheduled to be a somewhat random day. We didn't have anything specific we were planning to do, meaning no pre-purchased tickets, but a number of stops to make and things to see. The first stop on our list for the day was a photobooth that was out near Moulin Rouge. It was in a giant, open gallery space where there were people dancing and vendors selling food. We found the booth and took a few pictures. Right near the booth there was an old trailer of some sort that was converted in to a little library. Since Zoe loves books, even if they're in a language she doesn't read, she went in and browsed the selection. She then said she'd like one of these for our house back home. We'll see what we can do. She didn't actually take the book with us, but she wanted to pose with it. At this point it was time to get something to eat, so we hopped on the Metro and took it to Cafe des 2 Moulins, the restaurant from the movie Amelie. The food was great, the...

Girls Night Out Dance

Zoe has her first dance at school, the Girls Night Out Dance, where she brought me as her date. It had been quite some time since I was at such a formal affair, but thankfully I was still able to squeeze in to my suit. Zoe looked as gorgeous as her mother with her fancy clothes, her makeup, and the big bow in her hair. We took a few pictures before we left for the dance, just to capture the moment. I drove us over to the school, and we arrived right on time, beating the crowd. A few of Zoe's friends were there, and before they turned the lights off, I took one, not-so-good, picture. It is nice to know that, as time goes by, some things never change. There was very little dancing for the two of us at the dance. She was very interested in the snacks (treats), the lights that were on the tables, but mostly in the pull up bar at the back of the gym. She spent a solid 15 minutes moving around gym mats so she could stand on them and hang from the bar. Other kids came and went,...

Big Girl Tubbie

This past weekend, Cheryl and I went away and left Zoe with Mimi and Joe Pop. Apparently everyone had a great time. We're super glad that Zoe got to spend so much time with her grandparents, we're incredibly thankful that they watched her for the long weekend, plus, we were just happy to get away by ourselves for the first time in 17 months. That being said, I have no pictures of Zoe from this past weekend (shame on you Mimi!) However, tonight Zoe took her first bath in the actual tub. Up until now, we have been bathing her in her little whale tub because, well, she still fit in it. I think she may like the big tub even better, but I'll let you decide that for yourself. There are a few more pictures, so be sure to check out Zoe's set on Flickr. I'm looking forward to more tubbing in the future. We'll see what the rest of the week has in store.
