Trick or Treat?

We went trick or treating with Sarita and Ronak on Centre St, where all the business were open for trick or treaters.

Seth had his first lollipop. He kept calling it "pop!" He loved it and ended up very blue and sticky.

We met up with some of our other friends to cruise the neighborhood. Pictured above we have... Seth the Vampire, Ronak the Kangaroo, Colin the Monkey and Joshua the Skunk. We are looking forward to next year when they can walk and we won't have to take our strollers.

Happy Halloween

Happy Birthday Nana!!!

Monday night we had over Seth's Nana and Aunt Naomi, Uncle Jason, Uncle Josh, Aunt Sara and Uncle Jono - to celebrate Nana's birthday. Seth worked very hard on a birthday card, which Nana obviously loved! We had a yummy dinner and these amazing mint brownies made by Naomi. It was great to be together celebrating with Nana.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Change

So I finally did it! I have been wanting to donate my hair for a long time. It was out of control long and annoying - so yesterday was the day. Above is my ponytail ready to be shipped off for donation. It is a little shorter than I would like - but I wanted to make sure there was enough to donate. I think I will be very happy with it in a month or two.

After party

After the party was over, our little vampire and kangaroo relaxed by playing with some play dough.

Halloween Party - part two

Here are most of Seth's friends that made it to the party (for some reason I never got a picture of Zoe!). I think everyone had a good time ~ I know we did!

Halloween Party - part one

Today, we hosted a Halloween party for some of Seth's closest friends. It was madness with 12 toddlers running around with their parents - but it was so much fun! Seth was the cutest vampire. And so many of his friends came in really cute costumes (pictures to come).

We had a lot of great food, but our favorite was made by our friend Sarita. White chocolate covered marshmallow ghosts YUM!!!
Seth refused to wear his cape for most of the party. But he still looked cute!

Rainy Saturday

It was yucky out today - and Seth woke up soooo early (6 am!). We decided to go to the Children's Musuem. On the weekend members get in an hour early. It was so quiet with so much space to run around - it was great!

Playgroup at the Park

We are trying to enjoy the last bit of warmth before winter comes.

Here are Seth and Joshua in the very popular "car" with not 1, not 2, but 4 wheels for steering.

Temple Playgroup

We have made some new friends from our temple and we decided to invite them over for a playdate. Here is Seth and baby Xander and below is Maya.

Feeding himself

It is still very messy, but Seth is getting the hang of feeding himself.

Sleepover at Nana's House

Seth had the most wonderful time sleeping over Nana's house last night, and then spending most of the day with her. Jerald and I missed Seth but had a fun night at our downstairs neighbors house warming, sleeping in late, and going to a bar for lunch to watch the Patriots win!

As always, thanks so much Nana!

Getting Ready for Temple

Our temple has a great children's service with songs, stuffed Torahs, and story time. Seth has been enjoying it and we have been meeting a lot of nice people with kids around Seth's age.

Brownies!

Seth has been on a vegetable strike. So I was inspired by Oprah to make this brownie recipe with spinach and carrots! You can't taste the vegetables at all and Seth loved it.

Visit at Xanders

Since we have moved and Xander moved further into Cambridge - we don't get to see them as much as we used to. This afternoon we went to see their new place. It was great to watch the boys play together.

Words!

Seth's new word of the day... quesadilla!

Goats

Eating Apples

2nd Annual Apple Picking

Today we went apple picking! I have been waiting to do this all fall. We went to the same farm we did last year, Tougas Farms. And we also went again with Sara, Doug & Noah.
Seth loved the tractor ride to the orchard, loved running up and down the orchard and loved eating the apples.

Seth and Noah had a great time. Seth even started saying "Noah." Although it sounded more like "NO." Still very cute.

We brought home 20 pounds of apples. Now we have to figure out what to do with them. Applesauce, apple crisp...

After eating some lunch and some cider donuts we went to see the animals. It was mostly goats but the boys loved them. Seth giggled every time he got to touch one of them.

It was one of my favorite days!

More pictures and video to come!

Fancy Night Out!

Long story, but we have owed Jerald's brother, Josh, and his wife, Sara, a fancy dinner for years. Tonight we paid up! We took them to dinner at L'Espalier! What an amazing experience.

First off, we had a very big accomplishment before even leaving the house. After Seth's bad sleeping - we are finally back on track - and our new babysitter even put him to sleep without us! How amazing?

Anyway - we had an 8:30 reservation and after something like 9 different courses we got home at 1:30 am! But it was amazing. The food, the atmosphere, our waiter, our sommelier, and of course the company were out of this world.

I am getting hungry just thinking about it!

Seth and Nana

Playgroup at our house

We had a lot of fun today with so many of our friends over to play. Seth was a great host. He shared his toys very well and seemed to enjoy having so many people to play with. Thanks to Mae, Clyde, Eli, Dylan and Joshua for coming over.

SLEEP!!!

After a week and a half of very bad sleep - we think we are finally back on track. Seth is once again falling asleep on his own, sleeping through the night, and napping!!!

Merry-go-round

At the playspace yesterday

Playspace

With Jerald home from work and it being a rainy day we all checked out this fun indoor playspace close to our house.

We all had a lot of fun in the big playhouse, building with blocks and on the slides.

Notre Dame!

To celebrate Notre Dame's first football win of the season (hallelujah!) Seth wore his new shirt from Grandma and Grandpa. We had a nice morning reading stories and playing in Seth's playroom. Thanks for another great weekend Grandma and Grandpa!!!

"Ma" & "Pa"

Seth's Grandma and Grandpa came to visit this weekend. Seth calls them "Ma" and "Pa." He sounds very southern!

We spent the afternoon in our yard playing with toys and doing some much needed yard work. It was really fun being outside and watching Seth explore everything.

Seth had a lot of fun with the hose and the piles of leaves.

Grandpa had fun too! (this picture just makes me smile and laugh out loud! it was even funnier at the time).

At night, Jerald and I went out to a yummy dinner with some friends while Grandma and Grandpa gave Seth a bath and eventually put him to bed.
