...plus mustard and relish

Okay here is the meat of what should have been in last blog entry!

Check out all the princesses in Mehandis's classroom. We went to join in on the "Costume Parade" following our potty party day. The princesses kept asking Handi to dance :)
But Handi was a bit more interested in catching up with his toys. Poor girls.
The next day was our Halloween and our neighborhood's trick-or-treat. Starting to look a bit like fall around here!
Mehandis had fun falling in the piles and then scooping the leaves back up again. I helped in making the piles as big as possible, and Michael teased that was the only time he has seen me rake. Guess he is gone too much?
Going old school with the costume exchange. Gotta start them young.
Tried to get a pic of the neighbor friends... but Handi nearly "fell" out of the frame. Gave us quite a good laugh at the time :)
Take 2.
This was actually the end of our visit with good friends whom we have a lot in common with... including soon-to-be 3 year old Ethiopian cuties.
We had a marvelous time walking along the lake shore, sharing lasagna and laughs.
Mehandis and Tizu wore each other out quite well by the time they had to say goodbye.
More outdoor fun for Michael, Mehandis and I at Lapham Peak. Gotta fit in as much outside time as possible while the weather is still above freezing! We have even had picnics at a nearby park (in the dark) the past two Fridays. Trying to appreciate what we've got right now!!!
