Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Saturday afternoon Aransas invited us over to decorate cookies, we got there right as Snow White was waking from a nap.

Eric and Laura came over to help too (i.e. show us what to do).

Decorate one, eat three… surprised?

Derbs after a fight with some pasta.

Drunk snowmen.

Tis’ the season.

I have 10,000+ photos of Noah, but I didn’t have these!

That cream background is $!!

You ready for this one?

You sure?

It’s a good one.

Seriously, Kate and I were bent over laughing. It’s so good I might have to make a wall mural of it.

Steady cheezin’.

Every year Noah’s school invades the government offices in their building taking back your stolen tax dollars one tootsie roll at a time. Like any good rebellion, you need a leader – in this case Ms. Yelena – and a good pep talk.

Noah’s costume of choice for this “occupation”: a parrot to represent the colorful lies of the 1%.

Send in the dragons first, to intimidate.

Then show ‘em our strength in numbers!

See how nervous the “suits” are?

The “fall” of big business (I’m guessing).

Can’t let the man keep us down with crowded elevators.

Admit it, you don’t read my captions.

Back to the class to celebrate our success.

Back in our apartment, taking stock of our loot.

…until… (to be continued)

Saturday we went up to Queens for Miles’ Halloween Themed 3rd Birthday. Noah’s Halloween costume wasn’t here yet so we went with a back up.

The siren is still a hit.

Once Noah said “hi”, the costume came off and he ran to play in the sand.

Mr. T pitied the fool that put Noah in a costume.

A spider (Miles) and Chris.

Ed Grimley.

Chris’ back up/backwards costume.

Tim and Ladonna had all these games for the kids to play. Like this eating a donut on a string with no hands game.

I witnessed cheating.

Then a game where everyone became mummies.

Even Chris and his friend got into it.

Then there was a witches broom race.

Refreshments.

“Trick or treating”.

Cake time.

Cupcake decorating.

Face stuffing.

Noah’s cupcake.

Saying “bye” through a sugar coma.

Thanks for inviting us Tim and Ladonna!

Last Friday I had another tough assignment, wrangle a bunch of 3 year olds. Luckily I wasn’t alone.

After ditching we listened to the rules.

Kids let loose.
