2nd day of the Halloween Season. We were scheduled to attend 2 parties - 1 in the early afternoon at Mateo's school and the other in the evening at Aba's house. We woke up to terrible winds and of all things wet, blustery snow, but we bundled up and went out to the first party.

Mateo (revisiting his War Machine costume) takes his turn at the Doughnut Tree. The object of the game is to eat off the entire doughnut without using your hands. "Eaters, on your mark, get set, EAT!!"

"Go Mateo Go!" (Note: the kids got a prize whether they came in first or not...I actually think the prize was that they got to eat an entire doughnut, but that's just me)

Elmo was also back in action, but incredibly overwhelmed
Next game, Hit the Milk Bottles

He tosses and knocks them all down

As you can see, the snow picked up a lot more and became the first snow storm of the season. Unfortunately, it was so bad in Clifton, that Aba cancelled the party which left Mateo devastated. As a pick-me-up we let him play in the snow on the balcony. As you can see it lifted his spirits.

Miss Lucia also got some snow time

Later, Papi did some trick with Mateo's t-shirt that turned him into a Ninja. "Hiiii-ya!"

Of course after seeing that, Miss Lucia also wanted to get Ninjafied...I actually think it makes them look like a couple of Saudia Arabian kids...especially with those eyes
