Who You Gonna Call?

Getting into the Halloween spirit...my little Ghostbusters bust a move!

Farm Field Trip

The boys had their field trip to Klein Farms last Monday. It was a beautiful Fall morning and all the children seemed to have a great time. Below are few pictures of the day...Enjoy!













School Update...the Last 2 Weeks

Both boys seem to really be into the swing of pre-school now, especially with all of the excitement of a field trip to the farm and preparing for their fall festivals and parties. The color theme has been orange in both Eli and Carter's classrooms.

Carter learned about the numbers 4 and 5 and the letters E and F. He loves school and loves nothing more than pleasing his teachers. Last Friday did prove to be a bit of a challenge for him and he had a meltdown during class, but Mrs. Kavcsak reassured me that he is doing well and making improvements with every single class. So we chug along and try not to worry too much about him, which is impossible but I am trying to chill out. Carter also learned about the following bible stories, Samuel and David & Jonathan.
Below is Carter's art work from the past two weeks including a sunflower which was up on display. My favorite are his skeleton (since making it, he has become obsessed with skeletons) and his arm bone!







On to Elijah.... He is doing so well and seems to really like school. Mrs. McAtee tells me that he is trying to really talk and will try to repeat or say any word that they ask of him. This is HUGE and I am so thankful that Mrs. McAtee and Mrs. Ponte are so willing to encourage him to talk and communicate more. Eli also learned all about the square and his bible stories were Jacob takes care of Joseph and Baby Moses.
Below is Elijah's artwork including a cow and dalmatian that were up on display. My favorites are definitely the spiders, especially his hand print spider!




On Wednesday Eli celebrates his Fall festival and on Friday is Carter's fall festival...look for some fun photos!











SNOW!.....in October?

If you look closely, you can see the flakes falling. It only took a tiny bit of snow and barely any accumulation and Carter was asking for Christmas carols, a tree and Santa!

Visiting the Viciguerras

Several weekends ago we headed north to Rhode Island to visit our friends, the Vinciguerras, who recently relocated there. It was a great weekend, although too short of a visit. Carter was so happy to see his buddy Vito and I was happy to see Christi. Surprisingly we had a stress free trip home and back and the boys were so well behaved. As an extra bonus we enjoyed some time with Uncle Chris and Krista.

The boys enjoy the water and feeding the ducks.
All the guys.
Eli was unsure of Mr. Potatohead at first....
.....and then a kiss.
The big boys hang with Mr. Potato.

We then went to the beach. My boys thought it was so cool to be playing in the sand after summertime.






Our fabulous hosts!



Carter and Elijah also enjoyed their first tastes of shrimp and New England clam chowder and loved it!

Right before we left for home. As you can see Carter did not want to go!

Pumpkin Pickin'

We went to Klein Farms on Sunday and picked out some great pumpkins. It was a beautiful day and a fun time.



Making our way through the corn maze.
A rare show of affection between brothers.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! (or ice pops in this case!)
