Tasha, Spiderman and a whole bunch of pirates...

We had a fabulous weekend. The kids partied non-stop for three days starting at school on Friday with their Halloween parties. The weekend progressed through trick-or-treating, soccer game, soccer party, and the birthday bash for Brother yesterday. Yes - he's five now. And I'm so proud of him. He's such a great little dude and if someone had asked me what I'd like my son to be like... I don't think I could have ever imagined or described a kid this great.

On to the pics!

The Birthday Boy - on Friday as Spiderman

Little Bitty checking out her Tasha costume

Waiting patiently in class for her party to begin.


The calm before the storm (pirate theme party - this was our home-made plank and sea of balloons, certain balloons had treasure maps hidden inside for the treasure hunt)
The storm!
Treasure Maps in hand - we headed outside.
Brother (Red Sox hat) passing out some treasure.
I think this look might be "do I really have to eat more sugar?"
Presents! Look at Little Bitty's face... sad that it's not for her.

And on a separate note - to the person whole stole not only our Obama sign, but the others on my street the other night - Thank You. What you accomplished by this juvenile and cowardly act was another donation to the Obama campaign. I went less than 12 hours later to replace not just ours, but the others on our street. Through this, I met some great women at the campaign office, bonded with my neighbors and reinforced my confidence that I placed my vote for the right people. I hope that your act of trespassing and burglary resulting in no Obama signs on my rural neighborhood street for a few hours in the middle of the night left you feeling just as good. Way to do your part.

So much Mommy creativity! Wow! I love the pirate party and the Tasha costume is so adorable.

And I don't get the childish lack of self-control required to steal campaign signs. There was actually a local candidate in our area who went around taking down his opponent's signs and ended up getting caught and charged with a misdemeanor count of stealing.

Man, you sure are creative and that Tasha outfit is awesome. YOu desrve to toot you own horn for that.
And I agree, very childish of someone to go around stealing campaign signs. Atleast you got something good out of it.
