Apparently, Maile Girl and Mommy spent all afternoon doing this…

Maile’s Great Grandpa Irv turns 92 on Monday! We headed to Chicago this weekend to wish him a happy birthday in person. Papa Mike and Grandma Jill also came in from Boston to meet us. We had a wonderful weekend spending time with the family and especially spending time with “GG Irv” who has 90 years(!) on Maile Girl.
I think it’s safe to say that Great Grandpa Irv’s 92nd birthday is the first time he’s had “Happy Birthday” sung to him in Mandarin Chinese! And I’m sure he got a kick out of the fact that it was his great grand daughter who carried the tune…

One of the first things that Christine told me about her father was that he used to do her hair as a child. I’ve come to have an even deeper respect for that fact over the past few months as Maile’s hair has gotten long enough to put into pig tails.
Christine is in New York this week and Grandma Gail and Papa Cal have been helping out. I’ve been incredibly busy at work as well, so it has really been great having them spend time with Maile. And plus, Papa Cal is way better at doing Maile’s hair then I am!

Maile’s stories are getting much more elaborate. A story like this is a pretty regular occurrence these days. Piecing together what exactly happened that day at school has become a favorite past time for Mommy and Daddy…

On Sunday, I decided to put on a fancy dressy. I picked it out myself. It’s actually two separate dressies that I combined into one. Daddy said I looked so beautiful that I should be dancing with someone. I thought he meant to Lady Gaga, but he actually said we should try “slow” dancing. I told him I didn’t know what that was (typically dancing with Daddy is pretty fast) – he said he’d show me.
Slow dancing was lots of fun. Daddy said I could only do it with him for now though. Fine by me 🙂

These chopstick skills clearly come from Daddy’s side of the family 😉

When Maile is naughty, we’re not doing timeouts any more, just community service…
(Dad note: Thanks to Grandpa Cal for taking some great videos while watching Maile last week!)

Hi, I'm Maile Elmo!
Grandma Gail really outdid herself this year. Keeping with the annual tradition, she made Maile’s halloween costume. This year, Maile actually was able to request her costume – Elmo!
The best part of Grandma Gail's costume was that she was able to deliver it in person! Thank you Grandma Gail!
The costume is amazing and Maile had a lot of fun wearing it (well, truth be told, she had a lot of fun wearing it all weekend and then strangely pitched a fit when her friends came over to trick or treat with her). Maile invited a few friends over and we did some trick or treating practice around the courtyard (baby steps before heading out into the big, bad city!)
I'm Maile Elmo. Cool. I'm Hannah Sailor. Cool.
Firemen, sailor, golfer, leopard, Elmo, oh my!
After trick or treating, we didn’t think the kids had enough sweets, so we headed inside and Mommy helped everyone decorate Halloween cookies!
All in all it was a fun start to Halloween! Happy trick or treating!

Nothing like a playground accomplishment to close out the week…
Have a great weekend!
