post halloween

We tried playing some more tunes for Peanut, this time we went with an assortment of U2, the Fray, Cold Play, and some Derek Webb. We got the best response to U2 and Cold Play. We pretty much decided that anything upbeat and happy sounding is the most popular. It was so fun, Peanut was having a regular dance party and kicking like crazy!

We had a great Halloween. We passed out (some) candy at our friends' place in Pleasant Ridge, we also ate some... :) It was a great night outside though, perfect for trick-or-treating. Our pumpkins were a hit. Then we headed to Chipotle for free burritos...

We found out that if you "dress like a burrito" (AKA: put some miniscule amount of tin foil somewhere on yourself) you get a free burrito on Halloween. All of us share a deep appreciation for burritos, so we were all over that. As you can see, we went a little further than maybe we HAD to with the foil...
Ben chose a more traditional ensemble: a canadian mountie's hat and a very fahionable neck tie. Foil is the new black.
AND we got some practice in for the big day while we were at it...


You'd never know that Biz hasn't delivered squillions of babies from her professional performance :)
this week: back to reality. Grace is on deadline, and Ben's busy as usual at work. But we DID get started on the paint job in the baby's room. So, even though home is a bit of a construction zone in the midst of painting and working on baby furniture, it feels great to be making progress.
