Where has all my free time gone?

Oh yea.  We're pretty into Halloween this year.

Bonus points if you know who Claire is.

Millie Turns 1!

The Earlier this month Millie turned 1.  We celebrated with cupcakes, pizza, friends, and lots and lots of balloons.

At one point we were trying to convince Ms M that Blue Bloods is a show worth watching.  We told her that's it's fun to watch a show about New York, and there's Tom Selleck and Donny Wahlburg. This was her face when she said, "Donny Wahlburg?"

Isn't she the greatest?

Millie

If at any point during the day you find yourself thinking, "I wonder what Millie is up to." 

The answer is probably, "no good."

October

I'm so glad a live in a world where there are Octobers.

***New York weather is only bearable for 2 months a year so I am going to inundate you with outdoor pictures with leaves and slanted light for as long as I can***

I used to be cool

This is one of my new favorite comics.

I sort of want to frame it and put it in the bathroom. Hilarious, right?

A few of the extra cool things we did this weekend:

Went to Stews where we picked out our pumpkins, ate icecream, and wandered around the store watching the animatronic displays.

And went to the park (though in a moment of actual coolness we went to the park by the beach and we found a crab arm)

Always the park.

Someday

Someday when Noah designs some device that changes the world, I hope I at least get a little credit for the hours i spend designing, building, testing, and improving his Hotwheels tracks.

Netflix's contribution is neutral because they did teach him that engineers design, build, test, and improve products but they also have given him unrealistic expectations about just what Hotwheels cars can accomplish. Here he is telling me about the trouble he is having making his cars swoop like they do on the show.

A Summary (part 3)

This is the hardest summary to write. Claire has gone from being a squishy bodied toddler to a full fledged little adult.  Don't worry, she is still just as charming even if her new favorite hobbie is making spit bubbles. She loves school, but resents and laments that there just isn't any play time in kindergarten. 

Me too baby girl.  Me too

**dont feel too bad for her. School here gets out at 2:30.  She still gets lots of play time**
