I LOVE My BOO-Attitude!

My school got to celebrate Halloween on TWO days. The first day was on Friday Oct. 28 from 5:00 - 6:30. It's the Beatitudes Age-Link Fall Festival known as Boo-Attitudes. Clever, huh? Well, all the kiddies dress up and the parents come and there's all kinds of activities and what not. Let me walk you through my second Boo-Attitudes experience.

I should interrupt myself and tell you all that the really cool part was that my Grandpa Jim and Grandma Lynn were in town all the way from Oklahoma and they got to come to the Boo-Attitudes too! Unfortunately, silly Mommy has to wait until they get back to OK to get photos of me with them to add to my blog. So, be sure to give her a hard time the next time you see her. Once she gets the photos, I will upload them here.

Double Vision
Okay, back to the evening. As we were walking down the hall to the start of the festivities, I ran into my buddy Camden. Camden and I were pals in the infant pod area, pods b and c, respectfully. Once we graduated, Camden moved to Room 1 and I moved to Room 3. I miss my buddy. Well, you are not going to believe this, but we both showed up for Boo-Attitudes as froggies! We didn't quite know what to make of ourselves, so we just kind of had a stare down. I overheard some of the mommies laughing about how cute it was that we were wearing the same costume, yadda yadda yadda. In case you can't tell, I am the froggie on the right.


Shy Froggie Guy
Even though I love Age Link and have so much fun every day that I go, I found the evening to be a tad overwhelming. I chose to stay close to those I knew and didn't really partake in any of the activities. At one point, I even got upset and threw myself on the ground. Mommy is so proud! She says I am so advanced that I am entering my terrible twos 3 months early.

Being shy is not so bad. It allows me to look around more and take more things in. For instance, I was able to really see all the different costumes that were present. I saw a giraffe, a dalmation, two turtles, a ballerina and some other animals. We even had some celebrities in our midst. There was Ariel from Little Mermaid, Dorothy and Toto from the Wizard of Oz and even Yoda made it to our event. Rather star-studded, don'tcha think?


When Blogs and Reality Collide
A really cool part of our evening was when we ran into mommy's friend John and his wife Catherine, their son Jason and John's parents. If you remember, Jason's blog is one of my links under my Virtual Fort (left side links). Mommy and John thought it would be a good idea to get a photo of the four of us to post on our respective blogs. Cool, eh? So, here's the one we got. It's probably only minutely different from the one on Jason's blog, but you can decide. It was too bad that Jacob Rickey couldn't join us. I hear his mommy got roped into a work-related dinner. So, some other time we will have to cross paths.

All in all, it was a great Fall Festival. Thanks for reading. Until next time...
