Giraffes, Butterflies and a party

Yes, before you even ask...giraffes do have whiskers. (see picture above)
He's not going to let me pick his design much longer and it's so darned cute.


Tarini's very first face painting...a big success.

Notice that both of them are holding on to Daddy's hand, so cute :)

Anyone who knows Benjamin knows that he loves sports. So he was very excited to take a stab at the football throw. He waited patiently as the...ahem...adult males took their turns and failed miserably. However, he showed them all and got it on his first try and from a fair distance at that. That's my boy!!!



Tarini enjoyed picking up the ducks and getting a prize. She just didn't like letting go of the ducks when it was time to move on.





picking his prize


Benjamin and Tarini really seemed to enjoy the cake walk. Basically, you walk around the circle to music and when it stops, you stop on a number. A number is drawn at random and the child on that number wins a cake/cupcakes. They loved it and we came back to it twice at their request.


Tarini won Halloween nail stickers at the party and wanted them on as soon as we got home.


We attended a Halloween fundraiser at Anakin's school last weekend and the kiddos had a great time. It was, of course, Tarini's first holiday event in the US and she embraced it wholeheartedly. She has not stopped talking about the games and candy and she loved all of the costumes. She especially loved seeing other girls in costumes with wings. Tarini was a big hit in her butterfly costume and Benjamin was cute as ever as a giraffe. I love this stage when the costumes they wear are so cute.
