Weekly update

Zachary is enjoying his bathtimes these days. He likes to lay down in the tub and blow bubbles. It is stinkin' cute too cause his little naked tush sticks up out of the water as he plays. He also stands in front of the faucet and captures water in a bowl and blows bubbles into the dish. Yesterday we played outside on the lawn in the afternoon and watered the plants and he kept taking drinks from the faucet. Of course this led to soaking wet Zachary, but who cares. He adores the water and is quite a waterbug. I think we'll head to Big Stacy Pool and enjoy the 85+ degree weather this afternoon. Can you believe that, it is November and we will be going swimming! Guess it helps make up for the 30-some-odd days of 100+ degree heat that we suffered, but survived, through this summer.

Last week was Halloween and we had a lot of fun. We went to a party with around 30 other 1 year olds and Zachary and Greg had a ball. We did a little trick or treating too. I had my thesis defense on Halloween that afternoon and afterwards we ran out to the Outlet Malls in San Marcos and on our way home Zachary fell asleep. Luckily he woke up after the doorbell rang for the umpteenth time. We put him in his turtle outfit and hit the candy trail. We met a few neighbors, collected some candy and checked out lots of great decorations and costumes. Our neighborhood really goes all out for Halloween and boy-howdy, were there trick-or-treaters! Zachary had a great time checking out the big kids costumes, pointing at lights and pumpkins and enjoyed a piece of chocolate or two as well.
