Happy Halloween

Today is Halloween.  I picked up the kids early from school and we went trick-or-treating at the Natick Mall with Grandma and Grandpa D.  Mila was dressed as Doc McStuffin and Elan was dressed as Jake the Pirate.

After dinner Mat and I took the kids back out.  It was cold so Elan went as Thomas the Train (3 years in a row!) and Mila went with a cape on over her coat and a blue sparkly skirt.  It was really funny because Elan would ring the doorbell and they would both shout trick-or-treat and then say thanks when they got the candy.  Then, Mila would turn and scream candy-candy-candy all the way to the next house.  It was pretty funny.

More Apples!

This weekend was the final week for apple picking so, even though it wasn't that warm, we decided to go get more apples.  It was great.  There weren't that many people so we got to climb ladders to pick the remaining apples.

Elan is really into Legos and the mall was having a big lego display, so after picking we went to the Mall to warm up.  They got to make their own building....and, yes, the structure behind Elan and Mila is all Legos!

The rest of the weekend was spent coloring and playing.  Both kids are getting really good an coloring.  Mila is even starting to stay in the lines.

 

Head Of The Charles

This weekend we decided to take the kids to the Head of the Charles Regatta.  It was a wonderfuly warm day so the kids enjoyed watching the boats go down the river.  At one point, Mila turns to me and says, "they are going backwards".  Too funny.

At night we relaxed and made cookies.  On Sunday, we took the kids apple picking. 

 

Extra Long Weekend on the Cape

We decided to go down to the cape for an extra long weekend.  

On Friday, Grandma and Grandpa J watched Elan and Mila while Mat and I went golfing.

On Saturday, it was very rainy.  We went to the first day of the Yarmouth Seaside Fall Festival but only stayed for a little bit before going home.  We did get to do some swimming at the Y.

Sunday was a perfect weather day.  Mat, Elan, Mila and I ran the 5K race.  It was the kids first running race in the double running stroller.  They were cute and and a blast.  Afterwards, we watched the parade and then, after nap, went back to the festival.  At night, we went walked down to our beach and watched fireworks.

On Monday, Mat and I did our first Kayak race.  After nap, we decided to go out for ice cream since a lot of the good ice cream stands are closing this weekend.

Today was our final day on the cape.  It was warm and sunny so we decided to spend the morning at the beach.

Harwich Half Marathon

Today was the Cranberry Harwich Half Marathon. Both sets of Grandparents were out for the race so Elan and Mila were in Grandparent heaven.
