Halloween II

A great Halloween had by all in this home. Mika and I did get downtown on Monday. We visited Grandma and her co-workers at the office. Mika scored a stuffed fish instead of candy from Kathy at the office! Thanks Kathy! Mika behaved quite well..because she knows Grandma gets a little anxious when Mika screams her fool head off at Grandma's office. After that we went to visit Daddy at work too. We crashed a party on the 12th floor of his building. We were going to wait around downtown for Daddy to finish work, but Mika decided that we should go home and not wait around the extra 45 mins. She communicated this to me in a series of screams and tantrums at the save-on on 109 street and Jasper. We handed out a couple of bowls full of candy here and then headed out to St. Albert so that Mika could trick-or-treat over at the Shermans. Mom Sherman is the biggest turtle/tortoise fan that we know and she was sure delighted to see Mika in her turtle suit. Mika seemed to love it over there...all smiles and giggles. She flirted big-time with Shawndee's fiance..enough so that we had to roll our eyes and tell her to cut it out already. The Fiance is bigger than Daddy, so Daddy couldn't very well knock his block off or anything. We didn't get around to making our gingersnap bats until yesterday...they're too snappy. Gonna break my teeth trying to eat them.
Today was an adventure at the bank getting some things taken care of there. Mika was very happy to discuss how to invest her resp money with the banker that we saw. In fact, Mika wouldn't shutup. Even after placating her with MumMum's, she continued to discuss her investment options with biscuit bits falling from her mouth.
We haven't seen G yet this week, so as soon as Daddy is home and fed, we're off to see the G-ster.
