Happy Halloween

Tonight we had a Halloween Festival at the AUC basketball courts. There were games for kids of all ages and then "Trunk or Treat." Tyson loved dressing up like a pirate. He was absolutely the best pirate ever. Get ready for a tons of photos. Isn't he the best looking pirate around? Check out the homemade boots.

Tyson the Pirate and Peyton the Shark. Cute boys.

This is Laura being Martha Stewart. She came up with the Tootsie roll spiders.

Tyson was all ready to go trick-or-treating. He even said, "Yo ho ho." Just like a pirate.

Holden was dressed up like a Parrot. She was Tyson's pirate parrot. So cute!Me and the two little boys. It was such a great time!Tyson with the "babes" as he calls them, Kelly and Megan. Cute pictures gals!Laura and Tyson. Cute picture.Vaughn was secretly entered in the chocolate pudding pie eating contest. He didn't want to get all covered in pie, but Hillary made sure to put his face in the pie. In turn she got Vaughn's pie thrown all over her. Sorry Hillary. It really made for a good time.

The Weater Is HOT Once Again.

I am making this post for my friend Wendy who is coming down in one week. YAHOO! She looked at the previous post and thought the weather is still crappy here. No! It is once again beautiful and HOT. Come on down Kabonics!!!

Batton Down the Hatches Mates, She's Gonna Be A Big Storm

This is what it looks like on the island right now, but it is night time.

And I thought when my apartment flooded two weeks ago that was bad, this is NUTS! It has been raining in St. Maarten for 3 days straight. It will let up in the mornings for a few hours and then the little drizzle comes. But by mid-day, it is a full on Monsoon. Right now, it is 8:30 at night and I sounds like the heavens have opened up the flood gates. The water is coming down in sheets with a strong wind. I wonder if this is what it is like to be a hurricane. I don't know, having never been in one and NOT wanting to either. Both my front door and my bedroom balcony doors are leaking through and all my towels are soaked. It isn't going to be pretty tonight. "Hang on Captain Sparrow we are going for a little ride."

We Were Soaking WET!

Tyson and I got soaking wet at a birthday party yesterday. It has been raining off and on for the last 2 days, and yesterday was no exception. While we were beginning to eat cake, the heavens opened up and down came a little sprinkle, so we started to clean up. All of the sudden, buckets and buckets came tumbling down. We all huddled underneath the play ground equipment but didn't stay dry for long. Then it was a sprint to the cars and by then we were soaked. Just look at Tyson's shirt. He and I laughed and laughed. What else could we do. We weren't going to be dry, might as well enjoy it. He loved jumping in the puddles outside our door. It was a very wet day.

Slinky, Slinky A Wonderful Toy, for a BOY

Papa Westwood sent Tyson a jumbo multicolored slinky in the mail a few weeks ago. He loves to play with it. Well.....today he learned that he can contort it around his little body. He was so proud of himself that he came running in to show me. I laughed and grabbed the camera before he had a chance to unravel himself. Life is never dull around here.
