Gearing Up



Here are some photos of Moosey and I preparing for the big day - Halloween - while Wyatt is at school. Wyatt was very surprised to come home and see that a Halloween spider had visited our house.

Halloween Party Part I


Wyatt and Malcolm's little buddy Allistair will be out of town for Halloween this year. His parents wanted to make sure he had an opportunity to play in costume with some of his friends before he left so they had a couple of his friends over for a little pre-Halloween party. Here is the gang: Mason (Lincecum), Charlotte, Iris (Alice in Wonderland), Moosey (Roar!), Allistair (Borg) and Wyatt (shark).

Kissing Cousins


Moosey loves his baby cousin Floyd. They were hysterical in during a recent shopping trip in the double stroller. Floyd kept grabbing Malcolm's baby from him and Malcolm was laughing and asking Floyd if he needed someone to get his baby. It was cute. Malcolm is also very fond of kissing and hugging baby Floyd and I'm sure is going to be nothing but a positive influence on him.

Look! She Knocked Her Baby Over!


The rains have started in San Francisco so I think we will be relying heavily on our Academy of Sciences membership in the next few months. We visited the Academy this Friday with baby Floyd and all three boys had a great time. We spent a lot of time looking for Nemo and Dory and, Malcolm's favorite fish, the scuba. (Wyatt pronounces it "Scuva") Sadly, Malcolm was one very disappointed little boy after finding out there was no scuba in the tank this visit. Wyatt noticed immediately that the large shark was missing from the shark and stingray tank. Turns out, after tracking down a scientist to get an answer, he was moved to Mandalay Bay in Vegas because he wasn't doing well in the habitat at the Academy. Maybe we'll have to take a trip to Vegas to check on him - for Wyatt's sake, of course.

Every time we visit the Academy I wonder when I will have to explain prey vs. predator. Luckily, not this time as boys are still innocent about how the world really works. Upon looking at this exhibit Malcolm started cracking up and exclaimed, "Ha! She knocked her baby over!" I waited for a second to see if Wyatt knew better but instead he just started cracking up and pointed to the knocked over baby too. Of course this resulted in a mini "knock your baby over" wrestling match. Fun day!

Talking about the weather...


While Malcolm naps weekend days away, Wyatt and Mama sometimes head across the street to the Boulangerie for some "coffee" (hot chocolate in his case) and cookies. He likes to sit quietly and look around and I try and find interesting things that he might want to talk about. Today it was the weather but usually its sharks and whales.

Benihana Birthday Dinner




Here is the whole family on an outing to Benihana to celebrate my birthday and Sean and TIff's two year anniversary. The three boys had a great time and watching the food being prepared on the table kept everyone's attention during a very long meal. Malcolm's favorite part was the throwing of the knife at the beginning. Wyatt liked flipping the shrimp tails in to the hat and the volcano of onions. Floyd, he appeared to like the whole show. We'll be back for more!
