Halloween Fun!

We had a fun Halloween today! O had a parade at school - he did great in his costume, once he got used to it. The parade was a little overwhelming for the kids, but fun too. Nan and Pop came over to school and had fun seeing all of the kids in costume.


Once we got home from work, we headed over to Eastern Market for the "Hilloween" event. I was a little skeptical of whether O would get much out of it, but he had a blast. He loved watching all of the kids and the horses for the hayride.



Stomp, stomp, stomp, the elephant herd is coming...
A little rest...
Happy Halloween from our family to you!
I can't tell you how many comments we got today on his beautiful costume. So many people asked me if I made it, even strangers on the street. Grandma did a wonderful job (as always) - Thank you Grandma!!!

Happy Halloween

Just a sneak peak - more photos tomorrow...

Goodbye Sylvester

We had a sad week - Sylvester unexpectedly passed away. Tom and I will really miss him, and O keeps asking for the kitty. He was a very special cat - I don't think I will ever meet another cat like him.

Not Tired - Not at all....

Navigating by the Stars..

We spent last weekend in PA at Grandma and Grandpa's house. While we were there, they sent O out in the boat to navigate with a sextant and the constellations.

We had beautiful weather and a great time visiting everyone. It is nice to be able to just go out into the yard to play, and to get out for a walk.



We spent an afternoon at the corn maze. O was not such a big fan of being lost in the corn, but he did like the playground and the ride-on tractor.




Now we have visitors in town from Portland, Oregon. Adam and Jen and the kids are in town to run the Baltimore on Saturday and are staying with us for a few days!

Playing

Just some pictures of O playing with his tractor, or "choo choo" as he refers to it. He calls all trucks, cars and trains choo choo.

I was away for a few days last week. I had to travel to Ottawa for two nights for work. The trip and meeting went very well, but I missed my boys and was missed by them. Here is my proof...
Just kidding... that is actually O's angry face. In this case, the tractor was stuck against the chair.

Happy again!
In other news, the weather has changed.


It is going to warm up again later this week, but Sunday was pretty chilly.
