Happy Howl-o-ween

Sandy might wreck our plans to trick-or-treat this year, so we used the HBCA Halloween party as our (possibly only) opportunity to wear our costumes and collect some loot! In my opinion, we had the cutest little monsters in the place!

And in case you're having a case of vampire deja vu, here's the reason why:

Henry's First Haircut!

Finger Puppets.

Out of desperation this week, we made finger puppets. I think they are hilarious.

The First Day of Pre-K.

Yesterday was the first day of Pre-K. I think I may have the handsomest school boy. . . ever! Here he is modeling his new big-boy backpack.

Good luck this year, Andy! And stop growing up so quickly!

Mountain Climbing.

We had an amazing day to climb to the top of Mt. Washington. And by climb, I mean, take the cog railway to the top. Usually the weather is foggy, windy and cold at the summit, but as you can tell from the pictures, our day was pure perfection.

We Came, We Saw, We Concord.

We are back! And we had a great time! And while it wasn't the most relaxing vacation I've ever been on, it was a vacation all the same. It did exactly what it was supposed to do.

We saw new places

And tried new things

We roasted marshmallows

 We rode two ferries

 We ate enough meals out, to make us want a home cooked meal

(okay, bad example. . . this just makes me want to be waited on hand and foot)

We swam

We spent time together as a family

 And slept in beds that were comfortable, but made us appreciate our own at home

And we even got to check in with Santa

Yup.
It was a great vacation! And now it's great to be home.
I'll post more photos later this week!
