Collecting Leaves

Weather was nice on Tuesday (about wit60s) and kids wanted to help me collect leaves in the backyard. I was able to collect a small amount, before they got hungry and wanted to eat lunch. While the Mac & Cheese was getting ready, we spent a little more time outside taking pictures while kids were able to make leave angels and had more fun throwing leaves in the air.

Three Rock Stars

Kids treated us to a special rock song that took lots of musician attitude and special skills to play different instruments. Nathan appeared to be the lead and counted to five each time to coordinate the effort. Matthew was the drummer as well as the lead singer. Maya played the piano and occassionally the xylophone.

Ringling Bros Circus

Matthew spent a good evening with his Mom & and Grandparents, enjoying the Ringling Brother's circus in Rosemont. He met with his den members from the Boy Scout of America.

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.
