Happy Halloween!!

We have an eventful day planned this evening w/ Frankenstein (Dang dang) & Darth Vader (Miles). Last night, we painted our pumpkins which Miles had lots of fun with but complained that his dad made his pumpkin "too scary!" Justin was going off painting sceneries and errythang even when Miles and I finished! I'm tellin you, holidays are now way more fun since we've had Miles and Darrien in our lives! The boys have been looking forward to getting their candy on (don't worry Awt, Miles brushes his teeth well and we have our flouride drops...somewhere!). This week, Miles and Darrien got a halloween package from granma full of treats. Miles' favorite was the gummy worms. Last night, his Ninang Erica came by to bring him yet another Halloween bucket full of treats and a spider finger puppet--which Justin is using as his costume today... In the meantime, here are some pics from Miles' Hip Hop weekend, hanging out with his legendary uncles...


Miles found a slide at Uncle Q's house!

Mighty 4 weekend

That's a snapshot by Glyde One taken at Mighty 4. Miles just got finished rockin a cypher and was watching the next kid break.

I was 18 when the first Mighty 4 happened and it was one of my best memories of my high school years. Fast forward to 2008, it's the decade anniversary and now it's my son who's having the time of his life, bboying non-stop since we got in. I was such a proud mom, taken aback by how well he had his moves and his own style down! I was surprised he wasn't doing his "interpretive" dancing! Miles knows when it's Bboy time.

That M4 weekend was full of fun. Miles got to have some Hiphop in his life as well as plenty family time with his grandmas from Hawaii visiting, Uncle Alex, & cousins Boo & Angel hanging out. I'll update with some pictures soon. So you know, Miles had a lot of fun being surrounded by his more family and Justin and I got to have a drunken night of dancing.

On a side note, Miles has been entertaining us with his commentary. Last night, I was picking things up off my bedroom floor, Miles was watching (prolly making mental notes--noticing it was his daddy's stuff), and as soon as Justin enters the bedroom, Miles tells him, "daddy, you a messy man!"

And another time, last week, while I was cleaning (somehow, I'm always cleaning!) the downstairs before our fam arrived, I was taking out the trash and Miles looks at me, runs into the living room where Justin was chillin, and points to the left towards where I was, looking at his dad and goes, "dad, you help mom clean!"

Oh, and last night, while he was taking his bath, he asks me for more bubbles. I tell him, "Sorry Miles, we ran out. I better buy more at Target tomorrow." And he replies, "No, mommy. We can make-believe....Look at all the bubbles around me!"

Halloween mode

Miles is getting more and more excited for Halloween as the October days pass by and we count down. One night, he suggested decorating our home "like Halloween." He's also been in and out of catching viruses. One day he's better full of energy then the following day, his temperature rises. To entertain a cabin-fever boy, I dug up some construction paper, glue sticks, crayons and his safety scissors and he got busy. Here are a few of his masterpieces.





He worked so hard on his "Ben 10 ghost"

Today, we picked up his gramma from Ikea (yes, that's where her plane landed LOL!) and right after---headed to Target to pick up some motrin for the boy and he also chose some dress-up gear which is the makings of a possible Halloween costume.


"Tharr be good!"
