More Halloween

The Camaglia girls - Momma fairy, the lady bug & pea in the pod. We threw a shin dig of a Halloween party this year. Bella hosted 10 of her friends, we rolled up the rug and got messy. Everyone was in the spirit and helped make the party a big chaotic success!

Bella by the jack-o-lantern and small pumpkins waiting for her friends to arrive.

What an adorable pea in the pod.

Here we have the kiddos snacking on lots of great food. The popcorn was a huge hit.

Halloween party

Cookie decorating. This was quite ambitious with 10 two year olds. The only thing mommy should have left in the kitchen was the sprinkles. They made quite the mess.

Bella waits to start drawing on her pumpkin.

Ballerina Zoe & Pirate Ty take a break from the pumpkin & cookie decorating for a smile.

Momma fariy and her bug.

Bella finished all the fruit. This little lady bug was starving after such a fun party.

Carving the pumpkin

Our first carved pumpking together - finished and fabulous! Just in time for the party.

Bella was a big helper and pulled out each piece of the face.

Scooping out the guts. Bella went right in with the spoon. She wasn't too sure but had a great time in the end.

Prepping for the big cut, Bella drew the face on her first pumpkin.

Marin & Bear - 4 months

Yo - what's up hairy one?
Hello my furry friend, might I share a seat with you.

We have advanced to 4 fingers versus 3 in our mouth.

Paper anyone?

An early paper reader. Bella just loves to flip through the pages and read aloud. We get all the latest news just by listening.

Oh a hiking we will go

Resting at Starbucks.

Marin is getting so big that she is going to have to start carrying Mommy.

Bella has a prime spot on Daddy's back for our weekly hike up to the top of the peak.

Aunty & Uncle Visit

Aunty Colleen and Uncle Jon visited on their way through to Australia. They had lots of fun time with Marin and Bella. The girls loved the extra attention. It was so great to have them in town we didn't want to see them go so soon.

Marin and the nose

Grabbing for Daddy's nose is one of Marin's favorite past times. I think Daddy quite likes it as well.

A day in the park

Bella and Daddy were practising the steps. Bella loves to go up and down and then back up again. It is a great way to entertain and burn off some toddler energy.

Big helper

Our big helper! Bella is insistent on helping to carry the car seat. She is very good at taking the load off with her two hands. We even have it down so that no one trips.

Rolling & Grabbing

Everything goes into our mouth now. Marin prefers the soft toys but doesn't discriminate. She even has a go at the bell that hangs from her play gym. She is now rolling from side to side! This is enabling her to take a look around. Mostly to follow her sister around the room.

To the island

On Sampan to the beach to swim and play. Bella was estatic to be in her swimmers. She was carrying them around the house everywhere in the morning.

The beach
A full afternoon of swimming and the family was wiped out. It was great fun!

Junk

On the junk heading towards and island between Hong Kong Island and the mainland up off the North East side. Everyone managed the expedition without any sea sickness. Though mommy had sea legs for the entire night.
Georgia, Poppy and Patrick enjoy the 1 1/2 ride as well.

Marin was comfortable chilling out and rolling with the boat.

Singapore Zoo

Bella & Ilina had their own ride in a sporty 4x4 wagon. See the zebras in the background?
Here are all the kiddos in front of the cheetah. Joshua and Lily joined us for the ride around the zoo. Oh - check out Bella! She is still wearing her frog hat.
Alexander and Marin were along for the ride as well. They had the best view of the monkeys climbing all the ropes and trees above us.
All smiles!
