halloween prep

I've never really been into Halloween, but kids are great lubricants. A few prep photos from this evening.

fiiiiinn!

This is a common sight at home. Finn takes off down the sidewalk whenever he can. Glen has secretly followed him and he went 2 blocks before sitting in the middle of the side street. Awesome. But Mr cautious Elliott always runs after him for me and tries to lure him back home. This doesn't work but holds him off until I get there. Oh Finny. I am learning how to parent a risk-taker.

first leaf fall

So far Fall, my favorite time of year, has been so beautiful here. We all raked leafs this afternoon. Elliott actually contributing to family productivity for his first leaf-fall.  Something to look forward to for the future.

this video never fails to impress.  post-thanksgiving laugh-a-thon.  

finn's first trip

We re-newed our membership to the wildlife park today. Good decision - both boys loved it. For $100 a year, I can't think of a better deal.  

On the train. Finn fascinated.

Goats!  

Their were some extra's today, including a dj. Elliott joined in on "hands up, baby hands up."
