Victoria

Victoria loves her school friends and tells me almost everyday that she has planned her own play date and her friends are coming over when that is news to me. Oh she loves to play. Below V is playing at the Bake and Play Cafe with Lilly and Lillian.

The preschoolers at their Thanksgiving feast at school. Victoria was thankful for her teddy bear and Simba from The Lion King. Ever since we took her to see The Lion King she has become obsessed. She only wants to listen to the songs and play "lioness". She says she is over princesses - oh me.

Victoria was the photographer as she shot pics of Papa, Cecie, and JZ and O.

Brother v Sister

It still amazes me that brother and sister are so different. When sister is dead tired brother is ready to play some lacrosse… or push sister in the stroller… or kick the soccer ball… He is the little charming Energizer bunny.

Backyard Camping

The Zavalas took a camping trip in their backyard. But even camping in your home takes some prep work with all the blankets and lovies and books and all the other comforts of their room. The s'mores were a hit and playing in the tent was so much fun it took a while to  get to sleep. JZ slept the whole night with the kids and mama left around 1am - the city has way too many noises and the air mattress just wasn't cutting it. The kids had fun and they want to do it again soon. Maybe next time it will be cooler than 70 degrees outside. 

Butterfly Garden and The Fresh Beat Band

O toured the Butterfly Garden at Fair Park and loved it. There are so many butterflies; they land all over you and O loved how they tickled.

V was treated like a rock star to celebrate a friend's birthday. The group of 6 girls and their moms road in a stretch hummer to see The Fresh Beat Band in concert. There they had dinner and cupcakes in their own private box. V doesn't know much about The Fresh Beat Band but that didn't stop her from dancing and having a good time.

Playing at the Zoo

The zoo is the best place on earth - well - the merry go round. 

Halloween

Victoria was Ariel the littlest mermaid and O'Neill was a shark. They had parties and parties and more parties then trick or treating. They ate so much candy, cookies, and cupcakes they haven't asked for a piece since.

O'Neill loved passing out candy to the trick or treaters that came to our house. Victoria loved sitting back and eating some hard earned trick or treating candy.

O'Neill's friends having a little Halloween get together. Everyone came dressed except O who refused to wear his costume.

Victoria and O went to the LCC for the Halloween party. V and O loved dancing on the dance floor!

O took his costume off about 10 minutes into the party.

The Mermaid and Shark...
