This child, she is too cute for words.

I told her to smile and apparently she was eating chocolate...

That is all.  You may commence with your day.

Halloween Party

Today was the annual Yacht Club Kids' Halloween Party.

 Audrey was a Weeping Angel (A monster-type thing from Doctor Who), Dominic was Martin from Wild Kratts (a kid's TV show that he and Lili adore.), Lili was May from Pokemon and Olivia was a farmer, though she refused to wear her hat... Oh well.

Though the morning was hectic to get there-in past years the party always started at two, so we planned for two, only to check the invite this morning to discover it was at 12:30 this year-the Kiddos had an absolute ball, they played games like get the ball into the Witch's hat, and crush the noodle (Lili's favorite).  They had Ghost pudding and lots of candy-of course.  They got to go on a hayride and Trick-or-Treat for even more candy and just generally had a blast.  All the munchkins have now crashed from their sugar highs and are now asleep... Besides for Olivia.

SNOW!!!

Goodness gracious it has been far, far, far too long since my last post, but I'll admit that the months have gone by so fast I haven't had time to sit down.

But tonight I do have time, I've got a fuzzy sweater, a big cup of tea and something to talk about.

Snow. 

Sassy (the biggest snow person, the mom), Clinton (the middle one), London/Sassy Junior (the smallest) and Audrey

 

I woke up this morning with the thought "it smells like snow."-seriously, talk about a strange first thought-I looked out the window and I was right!  But being the only one awake I had no one to tell, so I went downstairs only to find that Audrey had gotten up before me and was already coming back inside from her first adventure in the fluffy white stuff.

 

By ten o'clock Dominic, Audrey, and I had fought in a great snowball war, made snow angels, and created a snow man family.   Lili had gone outside too, and Olivia had her first memorable experience with snow.  All in all a good day.

It's not very much snow though, and there was a lot more before we created the snow man family, but we are supposed to be getting... ohhh....  three to five inches tonight, so our snow-lacking issues will soon be over.
