Amelia's recital

This weekend Amelia had a violin recital. It was a last minute plan; on Friday her teacher told her  she felt Amelia was ready to perform her song. She also wanted her to have more experience playing under a bit of pressure because Amelia has festival coming up in a few weeks. She did a fabulous job and was very serious and concentrated during her playing. Here's the video:

Halloween

Whew! What a week! Halloween on a Monday just makes those 5 days drag. We had a great time with all our activities including the school carnival, Hocus Pocus, and trick or treating throughout the city! Here are some pictures:

My Darth Vader and hula girl.

For Hocus Pocus they opted for other costumes.

Our pumpkins. 

I'm happy I got a picture of our pumpkins because that night we had a terrible storm! It was raining sideways, gusting through the courtyard and completely made a mess of Amelia's mummy pumpkin. Cooper's sunglasses blew of his pumpkin and ended up about 30 feet away.  I didn't even have time to bring them inside because the storm hit so fast.

On to the holidays!
