Zoe Fairy

Zoe loved trick-or-treating this year! She has a cold so we stayed in our neighborhood. Every house we went to she said: "Let's go cheer that house up!" She also is enjoying handing out candy at home!

Considering we spent last year at the Pediatric Emergency room after Zoe cut her hand, I say we've improved our Labor Day festivities this year!

Karaoke Girl!

We went to a family friend's house for a birthday celebration this evening. When our friend Teri broke out the Karaoke, guess who took over the microphone and belted out "Twinkle, Twinkle" , "The ABC Song" and "You Are My Sunshine". She also got me to join her in a duet of "I Just Can't Wait to be King" from Lion King. Here are a few photos of the gang:
