This weekend Tau’aho added two more states to his growing
list of states he has been in, bringing his grand total to eight! (not a bad
start for a 3 month old, eh?)
After work on Friday we headed out to Ohio to see Heather
and her family. It is Halloween week and Lady Hiva wanted to celebrate with
some kids. Heather’s kids are always happy to indulge. Although it was a short
trip, we managed to shop a Sees Chocolate we danced for hours with the Wii, and
had a myriad of Halloween activities.
Being the closest shop that we could find near DC, Lady Hiva
was willing to make the six to seven hour drive to Ohio so that we could go to
the newly opened See’s chocolate store. She was in HEAVEN! I was telling
colleagues at work today (in Turkish…well broken Turkish) that we did that and
they said, “You go to chocolate stores every weekend?” Hahaha…I guess that is
right.
We ate so much sugar while we celebrated Halloween and
burned off the extra calories by dancing until we were sweating on the Wii.
We made sugar cookies and caramel apples and finished the
weekend with a Ghoulish dinner. Each of the kids went through the Halloween
cookbook and chose something they wanted. We ended up with hotdog mummies, bone
shaped rolls, zombie fingers (string cheese and bell-pepper fingernails), snake
venom drink (jello, punch and Sprite) and for real food we had chicken tortilla
soup and bean dip. So much fun.
Lady Hiva and I love all the kids. The noises, the laughter,
the fun and we even the crying, the dirty fingers, and the runny noses. Someday
Lucky and his siblings will get to do that stuff with us too!
