Activities...

On Thursday night, the older two boys had a violin recital. Justin and I were commenting on how they grumble so much about practicing and say they want to quit every other day but when it comes to recital day and they tear it up, they are so proud and beam from ear to ear. Nicholas received a trophy from Suzuki because he has received three superior ratings at Federation. Yay, Nick!



Liam and I went to the Scarecrow Festival on Friday. He had a free admission ticket for him in his backpack when he got home from school the other day so why not? He loved it. We got his hand painted, went on the train, there were a million blow up slides and obstacle courses, a fishing pond, games, and a haunted house that we took about 5 steps into and then he stopped short and it was a no go. It was such a beautiful day and we got a treat and sat on the lawn to enjoy what would most likely be one of the last warm days of the season. Although I am home with Liam all day, it was nice to have a lazy day to spend with him just laughing and running around in the fresh air and not running around doing errands.









Saturday night Justin and I went on a date to see Thriller. Seriously, if you haven't seen this amazing production by the Odyssey Dance Theater...you MUST go. It was incredible. It even received Justin's stamp of approval. Dancing is one talent I wish I had--I am quite uncoordinated so the only ones that get to see my pirouettes in my pjs on my kitchen floor are my boys. Sorry to disappoint.



To wrap up the weekend we headed out to the Alpine Loop on Sunday to view the fall foliage. And of course, it was beautiful.







And here are a couple pictures of bugs outside our house...

How fun to spend all that quality time with your family. They are such great kids, you have a wonderful husband and you're not so bad yourself. Kudos to Nick on his violin. He is developing many talents. And Liam looked like he had the time of his life. Love ya.

Ah...lots to say. Way to go Nick. Can't wait to have you perform for us when we are in town sometime! And Liam's grin is so cute, obviously he is having the best time. Love you guys and glad you could see the Alpine Loop for us this year. I LOVE that drive!
