All things Fall....

This past weekend, we were invited to a birthday party. This was not just any birthday party; it was an EXTRAVAGANZA for Nancy's great-grandson, Usher Raymond, V (Cinco)! Nancy affectionately calls our kids her "vanilla" children, and she wanted them to meet and mingle with her "chocolate" kids, one of whom happens to be the hip-hop musician, Usher. Daddy and Teya enjoy one of the massive inflatable slides under the big top.

Teya DEVOURED her very first cotton candy. Her lack of restraint left her covered in sticky, slimy purple sugar. She certainly enjoyed herself and the sugar held on the entire way home from Atlanta!

Other Fall notes.....

A new swingset for the kids.....David, the swinging boy

Beautiful sights.....The splendor of fall on display in one of our backyard maples....I'm now spending afternoon naptime raking up the golden carpet before it kills all of our grass!
Halloween.....Four little munchkins, all ready for "Boo in the Zoo!" The cousins scavenged as much candy as they possibly could, Teya clung to Nina in terror of Scooby Doo, and David slept comfortably in the mei-tai. Teya loves her poodle skirt dress that I found at a consignment sale for $4, and David's pumpkin is the one donned by all 4 cousins for their first Halloween.
