Trick or Treat
Halloween
Give me something to e-eat!
He was trying to sing the "smell my feet" version but couldn't remember that lyric! Happy Halloween, we hope you all got lots of great candy!

The boys all ready to go trick or treating! Considering that the predicted forecast called for a windy stormy night, we really lucked out! It could not have been more perfect, unlike last year when we had to trek out foot of snow!! The boys had a blast and all three of them made it around the neighborhood this year! Evan was adorable and even made up a little song to sing:

Our school district had school today, unsure of what the weather would hold David went to school prepared with his new frog umbrella that he got at the Revere Halloween party. I didn't realize he grabbed it until I saw him walking up from the bus stop this afternoon!

This morning the boys and I packed up all of our Halloween decorations in preparation for the high winds from hurricane Sandy. It made me sad to take everything down so I left my ghosts hanging on the porch. Before it got too dark I opened the door to watch the wind and saw these ghosts eerily flailing about.

Since I am in the pool with Evan during his swimming class, it is rare that I get a picture of him swimming. He finally went in with his teacher while I was getting Shaun dressed (who swims in the class before Evan's). Normally he waits for me to be finished. So I was glad to have my camera ready to snap a few pictures before joining Evan in the pool! He's doing bunny hops with his teacher.

Evan's new winter hat, looks like it's more suited for Mommy's head, but he insists on it being HIS!

Tonight was the Mill Brook Schools first movie night! We featured The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. The kids got to wear their jammies and bring a blanket. It was a lot of fun and we are already looking forward to the next one!

Shaun is starting to read and it's really fun to see him enjoying books so much. This is the same kid who every night after lights out, grabs his flash light and picks up a book to look at just like his Daddy used to do!

Working on more lighting. Evan always wants to "say cheese" but he doesn't always stay where I need him to! This time he listened and I thought the reflection on the table was a pretty cool visual!

Charlie ran in the Boston Half Marathon today for the fourth time. Each race he says he's peaked and yet each race he continues to improve! Though he's pretty confident that this time he really did peak for this race at least, this is a lot tougher course than the Covered Bridge Half Marathon he runs in June.
This year the boys and I found our way over to the mile 13 marker, so not quite the end but a great view of Daddy coming into the final stretch. He wasn't expecting us to be there so he didn't see us (last year we were up in the stadium) but he said he thought he heard someone screaming "Daddy!!" but he was hauling so it wasn't like he could turn back to look!
We saw his time at mile 13 1:23:50 and I was sure he was going to beat his time from last year (1:27:17), but not so sure he was going to beat his best time of 1:25:01 but we would have to wait until we found him at the meeting place because we didn't get to see him cross the finish line. Turns out not only did he beat his time from last year by almost THREE minutes, but he beat his best overall time finished at 1:24:25! We are so proud!! Way to go Daddy!!

Shaun & Delaney's soccer teams played each other today. They apparently weren't feeling it, and decided to get their Zen on by doing a little Yoga instead.

The Red Maple's new home, and I LOVE it! Next year we'll revamp the walkway and redesign the flower garden and all traces of the previous owner will be gone!

Tonight Charlie cut down the last 2 trees that were out front. Tomorrow, unless it's pouring, I suppose!) the landscaper is coming to move the Red Maple tree from in front of the house and into that spot where the oaks were. I'm really excited to not have any trees right in front of our house anymore.

Shaun had his first Take 3 music class today. This is the same class that David did last year. After I got David and Evan set up with some Netflix streaming (thanks to the free WiFi at the music school!), I headed around the corner over to the percussion room, with my camera, to take a peek at Shaun through the small window on the door. I watched for about 5 minutes and that smile never left his face!

With the help of our neighbors son, David built this fort. I had to get this one last picture before Papa comes tomorrow and grabs another load to take back to his house!

Shaun & Evan having some fun with bubbles. It's been really nice to watch these two bond now that big brother David is in school all day. Seems like yesterday Shaun was refusing to come sit near me in the hospital while I held his new baby brother, and it took almost 3 months before I could get a picture of all 3 boys together! Ha!

I wonder how long before the begging for a dog of his own begins. I remember asking Santa for a cocker spaniel (just like Lady!) in first grade and probably a few years after, since my parents wouldn't get one for me! My parents held strong, Santa never delivered as he was probably paid off by my parents, and now years later, with kids of my own, I'm confident I'll be able to do the same!

David at his piano lesson today! This is his second lesson and so far he is doing really well, the teacher called me in to listen to the song they had been practicing, and after the lesson she told me that he's picking it up really well!

David tries out a trumpet at the instrument petting zoo at the music school. He didn't get any sound out of it, but he was able to make a sound out of the clarinet and the oboe. He's not really interested in playing a wind instrument (he's still insistent on the cello!) but he had fun checking them out.

We have been doing workbook pages most nights for a while, but Evan was usually in bed. Now that he has been staying up with his big brothers he has been asking to do "homework" as well. I have started to give him tracing pages so he could get a feel for holding the pencil! Usually he just grabs it in his fist and scribbles but last few nights he has been trying to trace the lines correctly. Also check out how nice his pencil grip is! Not bad for two!
