Reading

She won't do it for me, willingly, but I came around the corner to her reading to Stone the other night. I'll take it. 

(Reading out loud that is...she sneaks books at night all the time)

Halloween Prefunk

Hopefully this kicks the funk because whoa...Allie, you truly are a little monster. 

(We are going on 2 hours here)

Coloring

Whoopsie

Maddie's spelling test...

Dinner

Mexican. Maddie's fav'

More love notes.

Keeping it real

No clothes. No shoes. Whatever. 

First day of fall session

Monday

I got a few extra hours with these monkeys today. Their swim class was cancelled...somehow I missed that message. Instead we went to the playground and to Nonna's for pizza. 

Darius' second birthday

Darius Capobianco turned two. We spent a gorgeous (72 degrees!) fall day celebrating him. With clowns. That somehow no kid freaked out over. 

Tutta bella

We had dinner at "tulla bella" last night. Maddie insisted on having pictures with all of the statues and Allie was passed out by the time we got home. I could not wake her. 

The Book With No Pictures

Probably the most hilarious thing ever to these two. They asked to have it read over and over and over (and over) again. Luckily they scored three times. 

Playgrounding it

It was so cold today! These two were fine. I wanted to leave after five minutes. They won, we left after almost two hours. 

Would you care for a spot of tea?

Pofo hit a home run with his gift. The girls have been quietly having a tea party for at least thirty minutes. 

Still loving it

Godfather has already placed dibs on her tennis career management. 

Not our best week for taking pictures

The week seemed to fly by and somehow I took no pictures. We had many adventures: football, Molly Moons, house getting broken into...you know, all the usual.
