Nana came to celebrate Jojo's birthday. The boys went to the Halloween store and found this year's costumes: Transformers. Christian, who is scared of the scary masks, did not go inside so he had no choice but to dress as a Transformer this year.
We walked to the car show down the street. I imagined riding in this car and waving my hand like Mrs. Bucket (That's "Mrs. Bouquet" to the commoners).

Christian wanted to do "something fun", which means anything outdoors. Mike and Brenda took them to the park and to the creek. They were worn out afterwards.
We went to the German Festival and had our fill of frankfurters. There was a park for the kids to jump around in blow up trampolines, go on manual train/airplane rides, and face painting! The live music was the best -- if you've never heard a polka-ized version of 'La Bamba', you don't know what you're missing! The costumes, the food, the craft booths were so much fun.
Nana and I also took Christian to the ER on Sunday night, but other than that, we had a good time with Nana!
Anything involving Christian is usually a long dramatic tale. I only add this so I'd remember: right side pain could be the appendix, pain on the left side is probably gas. Never take Christian to the ER when he has pain on the left side. Never take him when Nana is in town the night before school when he's the only one who has school the next day. Remember that his hip could hurt due to growing pains, though, just like Uncle Jimmy, somewhere around puberty. Remember to look at all surrounding circumstances before taking him to the ER (Is Nana in town? Is Monday the next day? Make sure Christian sleeps in his own bed the night before school when Nana is in town.)
