The kids were Sully and Mike from Monsters Inc for Halloween. Cassidy wore her costume to the Y for a bit but wasn’t much of a fan so we pinned it to the baby carrier later. Ben dressed up for school and had a little parade that we got to watch. The kids were so cute, smiling and waving at their parents in the hallways.
We had planned on going to the “Pumpkin Party” at our old church, they have games and bounce houses and tons of activities…but Cassidy was pretty miserable after dinner and Ben was incredibly moody so we decided to just visit the neighbors instead. It ended up being a nice family evening anyway, Ben was quite chatty with all our neighbors and I think they enjoyed seeing the kids’ costumes.







I had the chance to take some family photos for Anna, Kevin, Easton and Olivia this week. Love these guys :)



















These were lost in the labyrinth of my computer, but when we visited my mom’s cottage over the summer we also went to Olcott Beach Carousel Park. It’s a super cute amusement park meant for little kids with rides just their size. The best part, tickets for each ride only cost 25 cents!


















The day after Ben turned 4 he asked to take a shower. It kind of surprised me, I’d never even suggested it before. But a shower he took, and he loved it. He can scrub himself down, just needs help squirting shampoo on his head. Then he plays in the water for a few minutes afterward. I actually like it a LOT better than giving him a bath, but it does seem kind of grown up to me *sniff*



Little girl loves to sit down and look at books by herself, it’s so cute!





Ben turned 4! We had a small family party for him with a robot theme. Ben was super cute, as much as he enjoyed his presents he really lit up when we sung Happy Birthday to him.















A couple days after Ben’s party, my dad and Leslie came in to visit from MA. It was nice to spend some time with them and celebrate a second birthday for Ben.
