October

October has been lots of fun!  We started the month with a trip to the King Richard's Faire.  The girls enjoyed the day very much!  In this picture they are slightly startled by the giant unicorn behind them.

 

Friends Jade and Jasmine came along for the fun!

 

Uncle Jeff came for a visit.  He helped us carve pumpkins!

Here is Ida Jane goofing off for the camera.

The girls dressed Duncan up for Halloween.  He is one of Santa's reindeer.

We had lots of rain and wind during Hurricane Sandy, but never lost power and only had one large tree branch come down in our yard.  The girls stayed in their pajamas all day.

Ida Jane and Harper have been talking about Halloween since we moved back to the U.S.  They didn't get to trick-or-treat in Singapore so you can imagine the excitement when the day finally arrived!

Here they are ready for school.

Ida Jane had a costume parade at school and then pumpkin decorating.

Ready to trick-or-treat!

The governor lives in the neighborhood and was answering the door for trick-or-treaters.  Ida Jane looks a little star struck here with Governor Patrick!

I love this video of the girls running to Ben after getting some loot.
