Sam and I had a lovely lunch with his mum at Pata Negra on Friday to celebrate his birthday, which is on Hallowe'en. When I collected Eve from nursery that evening she had her face painted like a cat. She was just thrilled with the face paint and had obviously had a day full of fun, as she had also made some paintings as presents for her Daddy's birthday present.
For Sam's birthday on Saturday we spent a lazy day at home and went for a walk in the woods with Eve. We wore Hallo'ween masks for our afternoon wander. Sam and I used to love dressing up for Hallo'ween parties in years gone by, with no effort spared. I think we are both looking forward to hosting a Hallo'ween party in the future - probably more child friendly than the days of old though!

We had a wonderful time slowing meandering through the woods. We walked down to Boca Bar, shared a pizza and knocked back a couple of espresso's to keep us awake for a bit of Saturday night movie watching.
Eve loved the 'pumpkin man.'
She ate her dinner in the semi dark with the pumpkin glowing next to her.
On Sunday Jilly, Navi and Lamora popped over for a walk. Eve had been asking to see Lamorna and Jago on Saturday so I think it made her very happy to see them. This time we walked across the cemetery plateau and down to Arnos Vale playground. It was a beautiful day for a bit of park action with the kids.

Eve has been using connecting words such as, 'and' over the past couple of weeks and is formulating sentences well. Yesterday afternoon she came over to me in the kitchen and said, 'Eve wants to eat.' She would tell me that she was hungry before by saying things like, 'flapjack,' or 'yogurt.' It's great that she can finally tell me properly.
