Happy Halloween!

New Canaan was hit with a crazy early snow storm over the weekend- nuts! We probably got 8 or so inches at our house, but it was a really heavy snow so it caused quite a bit of damage around town. At one point almost 50% of the houses were without power, we were so lucky that we weren't one of them. Because of the number of downed trees, wires, etc, the town decided to postpone trick or treating until next weekend- bummer. (although completely understandable- some of the roads are still a total mess and I get it- safety first.) Town Hall distributed candy today from 2-4pm (the kids just went office to office) so it was nice to be able to do something (and a good thing- Connor and I made a paper chain countdown to trick or treating- so he knew today was the day.) Halloween is like Connor's Superbowl ;) After trick or treating at Town Hall our friends Sandi and Mike invited several families over for dinner and a Halloween party- so there was still lots of fun to be had.

On another bummer note- my camera battery has totally died (unable to be recharged), so I'll be rocking the iphone pics for the foreseeable future until I get around to ordering myself a new battery. Really missing my camera already.
Me and the bee!
Couldn't help myself with the glasses!
Showing Leyla something that was obviously really cool.
 Greetings from Town Hall!
 
 And a quick video. We asked Connor to show us his best Halloween dance moves. Love Leyla's too!

Wishing everyone a very, very Happy Halloween!!

Happy 6th Anniversary!

 Forever can never be long enough for me
To feel like I've had long enough with you


My Mom arrived yesterday for the weekend. She'll be staying here with the kids while Andrew and I head to NYC for the night to celebrate our anniversary. Can't wait!

Boo at the Zoo

Today Shannon, Rob and James met us for Boo at the (Bronx) zoo. This is probably one of my favorite fall things to do. We had an absolutely gorgeous day for it and the kids all had so much fun!

Connor really loves his costume this year- he's Woody from Toy Story. Leyla actually has two costumes - both were given to us. Today she was a University of Maryland cheerleader (love it- thanks Mom!), and for our town parade and trick or treating she'll be a bumble bee. Before we left for the zoo we took a couple pics of the kids in their costumes. They both looked so cute!

Woody action shot!
I love Leyla's face here. Clearly Connor is holding onto her a little too tight.
My Halloween boos!
At the zoo: Connor, Leyla and James.
Impossible to get one where they were all looking at the same time, oh well!
I loved this huge sea lion sunning himself on the rocks, and the little baby beside him!
Baby Terp.
As Shannon said, they totally have a Bromance.
Parenting by Andrew.
Llama!
Feeding goats, a must do!
Having fun?!
The kids in the hay maze.
It was a very cool maze. They all had a blast in there.
You guys coming or what?!
What up Buzz?
Connor says no more pictures. But it made me laugh how they were both sitting in their strollers the exact same way. Think they are related?!
Giraffes!
Down for the count... finally!
What are these two riding?
A camel!
My cowboy and I.
Sweet.
I took way too many pictures today, and therefore posted way too many. Couldn't help myself- everyone looked so cute and was having so much fun!

Pumpkins with my Pumpkins!

Sweet.
On a mission! I thought Leyla's buffalo check shirt was pumpkin patch festive, ha.
Leyla with her pumpkin.
And Connor with his. Good picks!

Picked out a couple baby pumpkins too.
