Moot Thoughts & Musings

After spending the morning at CHOP, getting speech therapy and a new mapping for his CI (the last mapping of the initial series of mappings after activation!), we had a lovely afternoon and evening hanging out at my IL's in their great yard and neighborhood.

Ellis's best girlfriend Maddie came over, and they both enjoyed wearing her headbands.

Ellis was Mr. Potato Head for Halloween. And Maddie was Mrs. P. Head. We were joined later by their buddy Judah, who was a Doctor. Maddie's mom and I had a lot of fun making the costumes. I used camel colored polarfleece and stuffed the lining a little to give the potato some shape. The kids actually didn't eat too much candy; they were having a blast running around and being crazy together.

We made it to a whole four houses this year!

I painted on a red nose and little moustache. Which was totally smeared off by the end of the evening. (For those who get will a kick out of it: Ellis is wearing his Spud Fest sweatshirt underneath the costume. The one that Spiker made in 2006. heehee.)

(thanks, amanda, for the great pics!)
