Costume Party

One of Craig's former co-workers, Angie, invited Gabe to a costume party that took place this past Saturday. Her son Kaleb is 10 days younger than Gabe (in fact, he was born June 6, 2 days before Gabe's due date, which was June 8).

Gabe dressed up as a doctor and I dressed up as Lt. Uhura from Star Trek. I was teasing Craig, saying he dressed up as himself, :). On the way to the party, he said he wished he'd wore a costume, lol.

It was a lot of fun. Gabe and Kaleb were the youngest, there was one three year old and the rest were between 5 and 7 years old. There were three games before it was time to eat snacks and one game after that. Of course, many of the children barely cared about eating, only playing! And Gabe and Kaleb didn't eat anything at all; typical toddler behavior, right?

Gabe was mostly interested in playing with a large orange balloon, which I watched him with in case it popped. In fact, he was super into anything round. There was also a wooden train set that he and the three year old were totally engrossed in.

I find it hard to socialize at kids parties when one of the kids is my kid. LOL. And I specifically parties where I don't know anyone. So, it's hard to talk to people when you have to watch your 17 month old playing with a balloon and what not.

Here are some pics from party; one is a pic that Angie took that she sent us.














Pin the nose on the pumpkin.



Pic Angie took of us (Gabe was trying to take my cookie).






Balloon love.






The most interesting train set in the world!
