Mommy picked up Oliver at preschool today! Yippee! Mommy missed her Owl. We stopped at the Farmers Market on the way home. We had a nice time there. We came home and did our routine. Then we drove to the Escondido Center for Arts down the street and went to the Dia de los Muertos celebration. Mommy and Oliver made a memorial box to remember our loved ones. Oliver was a little sleepy, but very interested in everything he was seeing. Mommy hopes we can go to this every year together. Its a nice to way to remember and celebrate the people we have lost.
Treehugger.
Buying Mommy some chamomile.
(Mommy needs her chamomile.)
The drink man wasn't there. He got
a drink at 7-11 instead.
We visited the birdies for a second.
Buying Kettle Korn.
Lots and lots of it. (Yay!)

From the brochure:
"The Mexican holiday Day of the Dead- Dia de los Muertos,
is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd to honor and remember
family members, who have died, by assembling altars, ofrenda, of traditional
breads, candles, sugar skulls and marigold flower on graves and in homes. It
is believed that the souls of the dead will return on the night of November 1
and enjoy the offerings."
Altars
Tortilla Art
Oliver picked a red shoebox for our altar.
He chose orange and purple paint. Mommy painted.
Then he wanted glitter. Mommy found a little bit
and we sprinkled it in our altar.
We put our pictures of Uncle Tommy, Bhuta, Patches,
and Grandma and Grandpa Headdy inside our altar.
Oliver wanted a heart he found to be placed above
Bhuta's head. Sweet.
Oliver with our altar.
Neat Skull.
More neat artwork.
We set up our altar at home and lit a candle.
Rest in peace.
