11/1/07 - Post-Halloween and pre-Birthday

The day after Halloween was marked by two events. One, Athena remembers she once wore Zoë's labybug costume and insisted that she try it on. (After all, it fit before.)




Next Sally bought a birthday cake to celebrate my impending birthday.


Athena loved lighting the candles and singing.




Here's me laughing moments after Athena -- realizing I was about to blow out the candles (on, let's remember, my birthday cake) threw her arm up in front of me and indignant shouted for me to stop.




Apparently, our family's only big enough for one candle blower.








For her part, Zoë enjoyed eating the cake more than the pomp preceding it.
