We celebrated Allison's first Halloween at "Hilloween". Capitol Hill puts on Hilloween Fest every year. Tons of people come out for the fun and candy! They have hay rides (which is sporty in the middle of DC), moon bounce, fair food and lots of laughs! It is so funny to see all the tiny kids dressed up. Most kids on the hill are under 5 yrs (it seems). The streets were filled with every tiny creature and character imaginable. We met up with kids from one of our play groups. The "miniMOTH" play group. We belong to the parent group in the hill- MOTH (Moms On The Hill). MOTH has about 2 thousand family from what I understand. And miniMOTH is has about 80 families that all have kids about Allison's age. We mostly share info on a web list serve. It's great because of course all kids go through the same phases and we can compare notes on what works and what doesn't. It is a great way to feel connected to people in the same situation at the same time. Most people in DC don't have family or longtime friends near, so these groups really help the fill the void (although nothing can replace family and old friends!!)

Wonderful pink leopard pictures. She looks like she had great fun. She would have so much more fun in Arkansas, though...
