Yay for Halloween!!! Anna's going to be a cat, she's so excited!!! She talked me into a cat costume too, so we're twins. Paul is Indiana Jones :) As it turns out, Anna can hum the Indiana Jones theme all the way through. Had no idea!

A friend gave us her tickets to go see Drumline Live downtown. On a whim I said sure, let's go, even though it was a school night, Tues, and it started at 7:30pm. I had energy and figured we'd see how far we'd get before Anna was ready to leave. Maybe at intermission?

I told her she'd better not cry at the end like she did at Story Time Live. She said she'd cried then because she didn't want to leave but she wouldn't cry this time.

When we got there, outside the entrance was a high school Drumline. After she watched them play, she wanted to high five them. So we did. This little 3 yr old in a pink dress...looking up at the tall guys in uniform with big drums...asking to high-five them...seriously cute.

She loved the whole show, based on Historically Black Colleges and University marching band Drumline. She kept asking for more between the sets and she wanted to high-five them too. Didn't do that; I told her they were tired and needed to go to bed!

She lasted the WHOLE show, even though at the end she started to glaze over, fighting sleep. She really did enjoy the whole show. We were super impressed with how good she was and how we could all enjoy the show without the typical kid distractions of what we've been used to for the last 3 years.It's great to know she's getting to that point of just being a little person, capable of enjoying something other than huge displays of sparkles and dancing goofy animals.

Tomorrow Anna's running a kid's 1k and me a 5k for Halloween. Then we're doing the JSC Ballunar festival Then Sunday we're ready for Trick or Treating! Busy, busy weekend. Here we go!
