Trick or Treat!

Last weekend Aleks took Allison and Gabriel to block party on Central Ave so Allison could dance to Thriller (my wisdom teeth still had me out of order). MJ came at Gabe like a zombie and he hid by Daddy's leg, Aleks said it was really funny. There is a commercial for Party City that has the cast dancing to Thriller and Gabe always screams for me to come see it...

Mikey and Justin came to Trick-or-Treat with us and we had a really nice time. Remember that last year we didn't get to do this, we'd just met and had a supervised visit at a "Fall Festival" with a Jesus monster truck. Allison saw lots of kids from school, Gabriel and Justin were afraid of most the yards and we now have more candy than any household needs. Perfect.

Allison is 11

Allison's birthday was Thursday and Aleks got tickets to the Rays game from someone at work, so it worked out that we'd go there then do the big rat on Saturday with friends. The Rays game was awesome from the first second. We entered at a gate where the coolest Rays Girls were and got a picture with them (Allison loves anything cheerleader-esque) and told them that it was her birthday. They said they'd come see us in our seats and they actually did. I also think they were behind the promotion lady picking Alli and Gabe to sing the 7th inning stretch rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ballpark". We were on the Jumbotron 2 other times, too. Chuck E. Cheese's was exactly what you'd expect so I'll leave you to making up your own commentary on those pictures.
