Halloween

Kids this year went trick or treating with grandma, grandpa and uncle Wes. They got lots of candy and enjoyed their time. Maya learner to say "My CANDY", emphesising that she wants to cary her own candy.

Oct 9th - Visit of Zoo

We started the October by visiting with Jack, Laurie, Mariann, Chrissy, Mom and Wes. We met at the Naf Naf Grill in Naperville for lunch. I specially enjoyed the rice and the camel sign they had on the wall. Later on we went to a park and kids played for a few hours. On the 9th we went to the Brookfield zoo with train. Mom and uncle Javad took the train from Naperville and we got on in Downers Grove. At the zoo we rode on the tram and kids got very tired. Train ride was based on Nathan's request. That same Sunday there was a maraton in downton Chicago and the return train was very crowded. We all had a good time and were exteremly tired when we returned home.

Aug 14 - Mom's BDay

This year to celebrate Mom's birthday, we went to the Brookfield Zoo. Uncle Javad was able to join us as well. We had sandwiches at the Zoo and also visited the bears' island. Later on we had cake and tea at Mom's place. Nathan managed to break Wes' Wii that thought us not to get one until kids are a bit older.

Matthew's 1st Day of School

Augest 24th was Matthew's first day of school. Now that he's in frist grade, he goes to school full day and says his favorit activities at school are lunch and recess. On the 26th students and their families were invited to party at the playground in the back of school.
Pizza was provided by the Skuddlebutts. Kids enjoyed ice creams, popcorn, soda and ran after each other. Dad and Nora were able to join us as well.

Matthew's 7th Birthday

This year Matthew had his birthday at Enchanted Castle in Lombard. He invited his friends and everyone (including me) had a blast. Matthew was a king and wore a crown for the whole time we were at the place.
Kids chose a parent and made mommies out of them, using toilet papers.
