All Hallow's Eve

Today we had a costume parade in our neighborhood and a pumpkin carving contest. We won for spookiest pumpkin. Here are some pictures of our pirate and our princess after getting their candy.

Look at the Technique!

Can you see how AJ carries the football correctly? If that's not natural talent I don't know what is!

And here's one of Eliana in her cute little Dora outfit. She took a break from the game to pose for a picture. Notice the beautiful mums behind her that since this picture has been taken, have gotten pummeled by some strong winds and are now falling apart!

Yay!!!...the Thorpes finally made it up here!

After several attempts earlier this year Brandon, Jen and Amelia finally got here for a visit from Jersey. Here's some pictures of the kids hanging out together. Great to see you guys!

Freakin' Squirrels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Potty Update #2 (and hopefully the last)!

Eliana hasn't worn diapers for 2 weeks now unless she's sleeping! So I would call that potty trained. Occasionally there will be poop in her diaper when she wakes up in the morning but usually it's just wet and she'll go poop in the potty. She says "I heard it drop Mommy." And there have been no accidents at all, even if we are going out for the morning or whenever. Go Jelly Bean!!!!!!!

Tuesday Outings

AJ loved climbing these cargo nets.
Eliana wasn't so sure about them!

Steel drums in the Boston Black exhibit.

Construction is always their favorite area!

Pilot and Co-Pilot!

Since Tuesday is the only day during the week we have the whole day to ourselves, we've been trying to do some field trips. Here's some pictures from last week at the Boston Children's Museum.

Quotes from My Kids

Eliana: "I have a toenail on my finger."
AJ: (in a crowd of people,while pulling her pants down) "Do you want to see Eliana's new undies?"
Grandma: (putting Eliana to bed and trying to convince her to stay in the room) "Well I guess I'll just have to read books all by myself."
Eliana: (choosing a book) "You can read this one by yourself."
