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!
