Weekend Wrap-up

On Friday night, our family dressed up in Halloween costumes for the Sterling Community Center Halloween party. We went way back into nostalgia land to be the Berenstain Bears (although we were also mistaken as the Three Bears and The Wizard of Oz). Maia enjoyed wandering around the gym full of non-profit booths although she probably cheated at all of the ring tossing games that resulted in candy prizes. At a particular point in the night, she decided that she was done being surrounded by other kids and emphatically made a beeline out the front door without goodbyes.

We spent Saturday-day relaxing around the house. In the afternoon, we went over to Mike and Ghazaley's in Herndon for dinner and a fire for roasting marshmmallows. Maia saw her first giant owl.

Sunday was a day full of heavy rain followed by bizarre 78 degree temperatures. In the interim, we let Maia stomp around in puddles with her new frog umbrella. We had Rebecca's extended family on the Loudoun side over for a Halloween / Birthday party in the afternoon, where we made ham, chili, roasted sweet potatoes, and a birthday cake, and played lots of Nertz.

How was your weekend?
