Happy halloween

First of all Happy Halloween to those of you who celebrate today.
We went trick or treating for the first time ever,  at first D. didn't want to go, changed his mind after the first funny bunch showed up at our door. Got A LOT  of candy, gave a lot away. Fun night.

What a busy weekend it was.
Mom's birthday, she's 50 and more beautiful than ever, I'm so thankful that we can be together at last without having to cross the ocean. Lots of love, Mama!

My dad bought a TV (which we were free of for three years and don't really need lol), so we had to move around  the furniture which in turn offended the cat and he had to find a new shelter. He kind of failed at first and was quickly found.

Also just found out about  Art Every Day Month challenge via tenacious lace. It sounds really interesting, I think I will definitely try it.

Background noise for the weekend : Ronan Hardiman -Whispering wind

Su-ah-nday

Our day was a little erratic as my dad is on the mad quest for a good yet ridiculously cheap car, and we had to come too and take a look. I hope he succeeds soon, I am a bit tired of checking out vehicles of various stages of decomposition. :)
 It is a good chance for us to look around the city though - we don't know the metro area that well, despite living here for 3 years.

The sky is frowning after a week of blissful warmth, so the free day at the Museum of Nature and Science tomorrow looks especially good. Last visit awoke D.'s interest for the asteroids and even inspired this masterpiece :)
It's so amazing how he spent a good hour at the "space" section of the museum, just looking around, trying things, fascinated. Then we looked at the pictures at home, spent a few evenings stargazing... I'm so glad he's old enough now so we can share these amazing moments of learning together. NASA website has a great kids section, and we can look at the Universe Photo journal forever, these pictures are breathtakingly beautiful.
