Word fun: Josho cracks us up with his words.  He has a certain way of pronouncing things.  His own dialect.  And apparantly I'm the only one truly fluent in Josh.  Here are some translations: tar = car, movyvo = motorcycle, eever = even, wah = saw, tootie = cookie, dandy = candy, Viva = Leah, baboon = balloon....and many more!

Boo: Happy Halloween 2008!  We hurried to finish our Chinese take-out & get our costumes on as the sun slowly sank.  Josh was ready to get some "dandy!"  Anna's mom called as we were getting ready - we would meet her down the street.  Josh ran down the sidewalk to greet his friend & her parents Christina & Mike.  We started down the little side street by our house.  By the time we went down & back Sydney had fallen asleep!  Her 10 minutes of Halloween was up!  Mama took her back home & put her to bed while Papa took Josh out with Anna to go trick-or-treating.  Along the way they met up with Alejandro & his parents Ron & Yolanda.  After nearly filling up his pumpkin they turned around & headed back to another part of the neighborhood.  Mama & Papa switched off, Josh dumped out his candy in the house & we continued towards Anna's house.  The kids were so cute as they ran up to each house with a light on.  Josh yelled out "trick-or-treat!" even before he made it to the doors!  We walked all over...and wished we would have brought a flashlight with us!  the weather was really nice.  Probably in the high 70's when we started & high 60's when we finished.  And the kids didn't want to stop.  "More dandy!" shouted Josh.  Finally at 8:50 we called it quits.  When we got home Josh peeled off his costume & then dumped out all of his candy on the floor.  He picked out one piece to eat before bed - a little bag of candy corns - which he offered to share with Mama & Papa.  It was an awesome night & we probably have enough candy to last until next Halloween!
