Halloween Night!

Halloween Night here in New Britain can get crazy so we were prepared for a lot of Trick-or-Treaters since it fell on Saturday this year. Miles was much more interested and excited to sit on the steps and hand our candy than go and get any for himself. He commented on everyone's costume and how nice it was or how the girls had pretty princess dresses. He's just too cute!



It ended up starting to rain shortly before 8pm and we only got a few kids after that- in the past we've had kids come to the door as early as 5 and as late as 10! Needless to say we have some candy leftover, but I'm sure Daddy won't have a problem taking it over to the headquarters and disposing of it in the few days left till the election :)

Halloween Party at School!

Today was Miles' Halloween party at school and since we finally got a new camera, we were able to take some shots of the kids during the festivities. Miles and Mommy made Cream Cheese Mummies and Pumpkins for the party the night before (so many sweets, we thought it might be good to have something healthy).

Miles is a Bat this year- a scary bat, according to him. Though in line one of the girls said she was frightened by the scary sounds he was making, so he told her that for today he "could be a nice bat, and tomorrow I'll be a scary bat" (it was so sweet). The kids all lined up and went Trick-or-Treating from classroom to classroom and then came back to their room for the party. They ate snacks and played games and everyone had a great time.

Here are the pics- check back soon for the pictures form Halloween Night!

Updates and new pics!

So, Miles started at his new school the beginning of September. He is now at the YMCA in the pre-school program there and loving every minute of it. He has made a lot of new friends and continues to thrive socially and academically.

This past weekend we went up to the beach to help close for the winter. It's always a sad weekend when those shutters go up! It was cold and a bit rainy, so we decided to go out and get some pumpkins to carve. Everyone had a lot of fun- enjoy the pics!
