PUMPKIN CARVING

Before we carved, Andrew and I went down to the Tribeca Performing Arts Center and saw the musical, "Bunnicula." It was really cute and is a cute story if you don't know the book. The boys were a little grossed out for about 1/2 a second.  Then Andrew did a pumpkin on his own-I cut the top and he scooped, designed and carved. And, I forgot to take a picture of it before it got all moldy in our 100 degree apartment. 

                                                     

                                               Who is this 12 year old looking boy?!?

                                     Julian woke up from his nap and wanted to "help"

The bad thing about pumpkins in an apartment is that it is so hot, they only last a day or so. We stretched ours to four and it was too long!

Fall Picnic

 A fellow KPMG mom set up a fun, fall family gathering by the Turtle Pond in Central Park.  Before we headed there we tried to stop by the Fall Festival in Central Park but it was complete MAYHEM.  We did manage to snag a picture with this huge pumpkin.  I wish I would have taken a picture of the line for the haunted house, it had to be 500 people long.  

                                       The leaves are definitely changing!

We don't know these people, but this was a beautiful area for a wedding shot.

Before I know it there will be two more little feet on the ground :(

                                   Searching for the scavenger hunt items

I didn't take an adult pictures, but it was a great way to get to meet some of the new families coming into the rotation.  The kids all played together well and there were lots of yummy treats!

             And of course, no outing is complete with out swords, nunchucks and masks

October Phone Dump

Leaving the city-the Met building all lit up for Columbus Day (maybe?)

 This is usually what happens when we spend the night at Grammy's

Head Kisses for Charlotte

 Our trip apparently wore them out.

 But not him!!

                                  I've got my eye on you. Literally and literally

 I don't know if you can see this, but almost EVERY single book is circled….

 Luckily this didn't happen while anyone was under it. I guess I need to buy a new light cover!

 I don't think he will be saving anybody today

                                    The biggest and smallest sharing a cart. My helpers.

    Definitely his fathers' son. Just reading his math book. For no reason.  On the weekend.

 The leaves are starting to turn in Central Park. We played around this beautiful tree for awhile.

 Andrew wanted desperately to jump in the leaves, but there just weren't enough yet. Maybe next weekend.

 Two little pumpkins.      Too bad Julian wasn't wearing a witch shirt! He is fascinated with all things with sticks.

 Somebody found the pots, pans, spices and tupperware. I also had to move Fasbee's water because he made a BEELINE for it 2, 345, 877 times per day.

Pumpkins and Tigers

Want to see me pull this over?!

 Carl Schurz Park has an annual pumpkin festival where you can pick out and decorate a pumpkin among other things. It was a cute activity and we saw some of our friends there!
