All Hallow's Eve 2009

Teelin Pumkin!

Monet and Doob's creations. Teelin peeking for a better view.

BEFORE party and Trick-or-Treating!!! Oh Boy!

Mary Margaret and her finance Howard with Dorothy and the Lion who had taken off his headpiece!

Pop Goes the Weasel

Dressed as Dorothy Monet played in her first ever violin concert today with her other Suzuki students. She played her two notes and took her bow beautifully. Enjoy.

Getting her Violin tuned by teacher Aerial, who was MAX from Where the Wild Things Are

Waiting for the show to start.

Pumpkins

Uncle Peter came for a quick visit this weekend and it was a visit filled with pumpkins! We left early Saturday and got to the Riverview Farm before it was technically open and chose our pumpkins from the frosty fields.

"Follow me Mommy."

Pete showing his strength...Monet asked him to pick this big one up.

Teamwork

She was workin' it! Was muddy and freezing by the end, but the apple donut for the car ride home made it all good!

Brother shots.

Lovin' the blue car.

Peter's friends Jimmy and Patty were also in the are this weekend and joined us for lunch and pumpkin carving and to the Keene Pumpkin Fest.

500 Llbs!!!

Our creative creations. Even though Monet's got left home by accident....oopps. Was a little sad when she sat there looking at the group of them and looked up and said, "Where's my pumpkin?"

Deerfield Fair

L to R: Nanna, Katie, Louisa, Doobe, Monet, Heather, Teelin is asleep in the stroller.

We avoided the rain at the fair this year some how and after missing it last year because Teelin was only a few weeks old it was GREAT to enjoy it as a family of four. A couple Steak-n-Cheeses, a fried dough, some french fries, root beer in the tin up, ice cream cones, a chocolate glazed donut and cinnamon cashews pretty much will hold us over until next year!

Teelin wasn't so sure where we were taking him at first, but we had him at the cows and with his first taste of fried dough!

Maria didn't want to wait for her pony ride, so she was a happy camper when her turn finally came around!!!

Teelin on the Merry-go-round with me....and no straps...what the heck?!? Why do they do that to parents?

After a half dozen shots there was no way of getting them all looking at us at the same time! Two out of three isn't too bad. This is the annual shot we try to get with Michelle and her family. Paul was in California this year :(

Daddy Doob sported the backpack for hours on Friday...Teelin was grateful for the fine view!

Big Pumpkins!!!

A ride on the bumble bees was way more fun that I thought!!! You could make him go high or low and Monet of course wanted to be up in the sky the whole time. :)

Monet's painting is the one in the wide frame with the orange background.

And she got a BLUE RIBBON on her painting we put in for her! Here she is seeing it for the first time. We didn't explain the the significance of the color of the ribbon (not necessary) just made her feel special to get a ribbon and see her painting hung with all the other children's.
