Let the fun begin...

If our last visit to Lowe's was any indication, I think Hannah is going to be awfully fun this year at Christmas. They have all their Christmas gear out and she was absolutely amazed at all of it - particularly the giant blow up Santa.

Checking it all out...
Santa!! (see Mommy!)
Waving at Santa....
I love this place!

Happy Halloween 2

Just got a couple more pictures compliments of Jennie that I had to share....

The family (with one of Wilson's fabulous jack-o-lanterns - sorry for hiding the other one!)

Playing with Katy!





Happy Halloween!

What a fun Halloween! We thoroughly enjoyed the 70 degree weather and started the day by jumping in lots and lots of leaf piles - Wilson eventually gave up on raking because between the wind and Hannah's jumping - his piles just kept getting scattered.



The Frost family came to visit overnight and celebrate Halloween with us. Nora is adorable and kept us all laughing with all her various animal noises and other tricks. We had fun catching up with Jennie and Bob - and Katy, Kristy and Jim as well!


Hannah got excited about Halloween once we lit our pumpkins and the kids starting trick or treating at our door. She wasn't always sure she wanted to part with the candy we were giving out though - the skittles seemed like something she'd rather keep! Funny sidenote - Hannah kept asking for broccoli last night and again today. It took a while but I've finally figured out that she thinks candy is broccoli - not sure where this came from. I'm sure it was something I said at some point to try to get her to eat broccoli but - it looks like it backfired!


Hannah and Nora weren't exactly photogenic ladybugs - luckily Wilson and Jennie were photogenic parents!


The twins from across the street came over and Hannah loved seeing them in their Batman and Rocket costumes.

And I have to apologize. I completely forgot to put up a Happy Birthday post to Aunt Kate on Friday. Hope you had a great time in NYC celebrating - we wish we could have been with you but we'll see you at Thanksgiving!

Hidden Trains

A couple weeks ago Hannah was lucky enough to venture into the Needham forest with Mimi, Aunt Gail and cousins Hailey and Derrick to check out the hidden trains that are there. They had a perfect fall day for their adventure and such a fun time. Hannah loved walking in the woods!!

Halloween Preview

We had two costume parties today - one with playgroup this morning and then tonight at Hannah's daycare. So far the ladybug costume is a hit - she cried when I took it off for her nap and then walked around the house singing ladybug ladybug ladybug all afternoon. No luck getting her to wear the ears yet but maybe we'll work up to that before Saturday! Thanks to Nana for the costume!

Big Girl Bed

We made a quick overnight trip to my parents this weekend and brought back a big girl bed for Hannah. This is one of two special beds that have been in the Lowe family for generations (and were handmade by my Dad's great grandfather). We rearranged a few things in Hannah's room tonight as part of preparation for her baby brother to start sharing her room for her and while WE aren't quite ready for her to actually move into her big girl bed,
as you can see from these pictures, she is!!

Fall

Fall has definitely arrived (or maybe it is skipping us judging by the weather this past weekend - SNOW?!). We finally got some pumpkins this weekend - Wilson and Hannah each picked one so we're set for Halloween now. Hannah was frustrated by the fact that she couldn't pick these pumpkins up - but she loves them. Last night when we got home from daycare she had to go and say hi to the pumpkins before we came inside.




And with all that cold weather we decided some slippers were a must for Miss H. She is loving her new Elmo slippers - and so far she keeps them on. We'll see how long it lasts!
