Boo!

 

Happy Halloween, everyone!

This year marked Andy's transition from cutesy-wootsy costume to action-hero adventurer. For the last two Halloweens, he was the cute and cuddly Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. This year--scruffy thrill-seeker Indiana Jones! I no longer have a say in my son's choice of costume. I have Uncle Karl to thank for that, for exposing Andy to a few minutes of the Temple of Doom, much to my horror. Oh, and his daycare played the theme song during large-motor play time. Thanks guys.

 

 

It isn't all snow in October...Here Andy and Mike enjoy free Rita's ice in the balmy 60 degree weather.

 

Cats for Obama! We are all in favor of spreading the wealth around, at least with candy. After gorging on his loot tonight, we've told Andy that the Halloween fairy will come tomorrow and take his candy and share it with other less fortunate girls and boys who didn't get any candy. Let's see if that idea flies tomorrow. Cruel socialist parents.

 

 

First Snow

 

 

Sam Sat

What an exciting moment for me as a former first grade teacher! Andy brought home his first reader from Montessori preschool.

Here he is reading from the tome Sam Sat!

A relaxing lunch

While Mom Was Away

Andy really missed his Mom while she was away for a work conference, but we kept ourselves busy.

 

Andy's cousin Rebecca came over to visit and he was sure to be very gentle when he pushed her on the swing.

 

 

We finally got around to trying bobbing for apples. Andy loved it!

 

For National Night Out we had a block party and the local fire department came to speak.
