Halloween Festivities

Lobster Goblin was quite the hit, of course. On Friday the whole family trekked on over to Fred and Rachel's house to accompany Spencer trick-or-treating, along with a couple of neighborhood friends. Miss Fuss was quite content to be carried around the block while giggling at the occasional Mommy and Daddy antics. We then stayed to have Indian food with Fred, Rachel, and Spencer and it was home to bed as usual. Saturday and Sunday were spent with the normal errands and family time, with the exception of Auntie Joddie joining us for meatball dinner on Sunday. Little Monster still isn't too sure about Auntie Joddie holding her, but as long as she keeps her distance MJ is a little charmer. She cooed and smiled at Mommy and Auntie Joddie on the couch while she laid on the floor playing with toys and rolling over.

Madeleine does the cutest thing at bed time. We put her in her crib with the mobile going, and as the blanket is pulled over her, she grabs it and rubs (or 'woolies') it all over her face. Mommy has even noticed that if Grumbles is particularly upset at naptime and has kicked the blanket off, Mommy can cover her back up and as soon as she woolies the blanket, she'll calm down. Grandma B.J. first noticed it while Miss Fuss was in Texas, but Mommy just thought it was a fluke. Guess Momma should listen to the experienced Grandmas more, huh?
