Happy Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving and even got a couple photos. So much for cooperation but their cousins were running around outside and they wanted to play too!

snow day

I don't know what's going on with this weather but last week we had a nor'easter. They called for a dusting with nothing sticking and our area got 4-8 inches! We searched for snow gear which was collecting dust and headed outside.

trick or treat

Despite having no power from Hurricane Sandy we were still able to trick or treat. The town had canceled their even on Main street, but we never go to that anyway. However we did find out after coming home that the town put another phone call out highly discouraging people from going out in their neighborhoods. Whoops. They really should have called earlier. The call didn't come in until 4:15/4:30 and we left at 4 so we would get home before dark. The kids had a blast and we made sure to stay away from downed power lines :)

pre-halloween fun

This year Mason is really into Halloween. He picked out his costume (Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates) and he picked out Ryder's costume (Buzz Lightyear). He has loved putting it on. Unfortunately it looks like we might miss Halloween again. Last year we had a huge snow storm and were out of power for 10 days! As I type this we're waiting for Hurricane Sandy to hit and are expected to be without power for a while. i hope this isn't this case, but I'm working on some future blog posts so I can catch up and am scheduling this to post on Halloween anyway. Hopefully I'll have more Halloween pics to share and we are able to go trick or treating this year!



We had our annual MOMS Club Halloween party. The kids got to paint their pumpkins and run around the gym with ride on toys.

my handsome boys

We've had some pretty gross October weather, but this afternoon it was gorgeous! Chris was home and we took the boys outside to play. I grabbed my camera hoping to get a couple fall photos of them and for the first time ever they cooperated! The little guy only for about 2.2 seconds but it was long enough to get a photo I love of my boys together.



The little guy only lasted half a second longer for his only alone picture I was able to get. I'll have to try again but the forecast the next few days is not looking pretty! Hello Hurricane Sandy.



Mason was a blast though. He was listening to my directions and just hamming it up in front of the camera. I never thought this day would come!

Pumpkin Picking

We had a blast at the farm. They had a 5 week old calf there that was great with the kids! They were all petting him. We went on a hay ride where we stopped in the field to feed the big cows and then picked out a small pumpkin to take home.
