Happy Halloween 2009

Z is for Zoe and Zebra.
E is for Elephant and Eleni.

The Marousis House is officially Flu-Free!

For the first time in 11 days, no one in our house has a fever. What joy! What bliss!

It even looks like we will go Trick-or-Treating.

Huzzah!

You know you have the swine flu when...

...you fall asleep in the process of getting out of bed.

Eleni called out that she was on her way to come get a tissue...when she didn't show, I went looking for her. Here's what I found:

Pumpkins with Eleni

Zoe wasn't feeling well, so mommy and Eleni went to the pumpkin farm to meet our godchild, Angelika, and her family -- and left Baba and Zoe at home.

The girls are definitely out of their comfort zone when they're apart, and Eleni barely spoke above a whisper during the hour-long ride there. I got to practice for being an old lady by saying "What? What? Speak up you young whippersnapper!" every three seconds.

She was terribly shy with our friends when we arrived at the pumpkin farm as well.

But she came out of her shell a bit once we got to the pumpkins.

Picking out a pumpkin for Zoe.
