We have been enjoying the Fall so far! On 9/8 we all went on a hike at Saxon Woods.
Then we had lunch at Walter’s, and examined this old fire truck parked out back. The plaque said it is a 1927 Seagrave 75ft Aerial Ladder Truck.
At back to school night at Chatsworth I got to admire Blaine’s self-portrait.
In Sarah’s classroom I saw this neat picture she drew of our recent hike at Saxon Woods, with the two snakes that we saw!
And here is her self-portrait, which I swear is uncannily similar to one I drew as a child. Sadly I have not yet been able to find that picture to do a side-by-side.
On 9/14, Sarah and I went to Larchmont Day (Blaine was feeling a little sick so stayed home with Andrew). Sarah’s number one priority was getting her face painted.
On 9/15 we went on another family hike at the Rye Nature Center. Unfortunately it was a brief hike, because shortly after this photo was taken Sarah and Blaine were running around this pond and Sarah started screaming when her shoe got stuck in the mud! I was afraid it was a snake or something. 🙂
Sarah was not happy!
Blaine has been wanting to see a football game, so we decided to check out a Mamaroneck High School game on 9/20.
The kids were most interested in the tiger mascot!
To make the game even more exciting, Blaine lost a tooth! It was his top right incisor and he’d been wiggling it for quite awhile.
On 9/23 the kids wanted to have a lemonade stand, so we got everything ready and sold lemonade during the after-school rush. We took our neighbors’ idea and donated the proceeds to charity (Mercy Corps).
Lastly, here is a preview of our Halloween!
