November

These birds swooped in from New Orleans and took my kids.


Louisa got to be Shabbat queen at school.


Look how carefully she carries the Torah.


She's taking it very seriously.


Mohonk "World of Words" Weekend!


Look at the view from our balcony!



They had blocks in the lounge.


But it was the ash can that really interested us.


The staff was very helpful.


The kids' club had it all.


You could hike to the other side of the lake and get a good look at the hotel.


I mean, seriously, look at it.


This place was niiiiiice.


Went a little crazy when we got back home.


But, Lord help us, Anwar's birthday party introduced us to Chuck-E-Cheese.


This cannot be good for him.


We lost Poppo.


But got a chance to see everybody.


And meet a puppy.



I liked that a lot.


We also got to spend a whole day at the Hands-On museum.


And eat this!

The rest of October

Preparing pumpkins is hard work...



that really pays off!


Some cars we made from the Toledo Blade activities page that Mimi sent us:


Face-paint practice.

So what's the deal here? What's this trick-or-treating all about?


Oh!

What we've been singing

First day of school!


New things to play on.


Wyck harvest festival.



Mt. Airy Village Fair.




Look what Mimi got me!


Look what Mommy got us!



Battle of Germantown.


Yeah, yeah. Gunfire. Whatevs. I'm busy with my sandwich.


Keeping up with old friends.

Egg hatching at the zoo.


Phew! Let's hang out at home today.

Not bad for a kid who hasn't even started school yet...
