afternoon sillies
music time in our playroom
Sophie and Madeline are in the same preschool class and so their mom, Rebecca, and I watch eachother's son when we are co-opping in the girls' classroom once a week.
The boys get lots of time together and then after school we inevitably end up having an impromptu playdate and lunch.
Today there was more play than lunch, as usual ;)

homemade cider
We had a blast making cider at a local cider press with our friends, Julie, Jeremy and Ally.
What a nice way to jump into the holiday spirit.
25lbs of apples- almost 2 gallons of homemade cider and the kids did most of the work!
Ally hard at work
peanut gallery
the machine behind it all!

what have we been up to?
cookin with mom
(she made this one all by herself!)
not a whole lot, just spending time at home, in the neighborhood, enjoying autumn and one another.
playing at the elementary school on our block they will one day attend
mostly best friends, but watch OUT if you try to take her avocado!
maybe the cat is an easier companion ;)
Though don and i got out for a night of swing dancing last week and an amazing courtside Wizards game.
just backyard birdwatching

quick halloween pics
had to post a few quick pics so you could see their costumes...
Great day at Madeline's school for a costume parade and even the little ones got involved!
then...
The Wongs came over this year for our second annual movie night on halloween. We had dinner together (jack o lantern pot pies), and don set up a movie in our carport for trick or treaters.
The kids loved it and I wasnt sure they even wanted to leave to go trick or treating!
and don and i got our friends in on a little theme costume party too.
check it out:
and of course, the obligatory pumpkin carving- with a twist this year.
We carved a sweet pumpkin. roasted the seeds, ate the pumpkin and took one of the other ones and gave it the ol' mr potato head treatment.
