Halloween 2013

There was no question what Chase and Brice would be for Halloween: Batman and Robin, of course! I only got a few pictures, but you get the idea:

 

Chase had a good time going up to the doors and saying trick-or-treat. Brice insisted that I carry him the whole way (despite the super-cool Batmobile that I made for them). Even though it was pretty warm, it sadly started raining about 20 minutes into our trick-or-treating so we didn't get very far.

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch 2013

We made our annual pilgrimage to Butler's Orchard this year- on another cooler day in September. Both boys had a great time and we got a lot of fabulous pictures.

(Chase loved it, but I think this is the worst Batman facepainting I've ever seen)

Furloughed!

I try not to talk too much about work on the blog, especially since I already share so much personal info, but if you know us and read this blog, you know that the government is shutdown and I'm furloughed. While there is something nice about having unexpected time at home with the kids, there's also the anxiety of not knowing whether I'll be paid for this time or how long it will go on. We still have bills and our nanny to pay. But it does mean that I finally have time to update the blog! So stay tuned for lots of catch-up posts....including our (July) trip to Massachusetts.
