Fantastic Fall Folly....

 

Fall has finally arrived, although we continue to play as if we're still in the middle of summer. Well, sort of. The kids are enjoying their costume/dress up area 3-4 times a week, and they have upwards of 25 costumes to pick from for this year's trek on Halloween. Let's hope the snow holds off! Before October 31st however, we have much to do--and yet--can share that we've also done even more....

We all enjoyed another in-person visit with Rachel Coleman of Signing Time, who spent some extra special time with her very own Signing Time superstar, Abby Agudelo! Rachel has some new projects forthcoming debuting on TV, so stay tuned! :)

 

The boys started asking for gingerbread in early September. So, we made a few batches and started creating our own Fall style gingerbread creatures and even made some karate sugar cookies to snack on after karate class. Everyone seems to enjoy cooking/baking with Mom, so hopefully, they'll all learn how to cook for themselves. Abby often claims that she wishes to be a chef like Mom. All we can say is, "Go for it!"

 

 

 

 Tony's Aunt Marcela, a superstar actress from Bogota, Colombia, graced us with her presence for a little over a week. We tried to keep her busy--touring Boston, Salem, and the Maine coastline, but one of her favorite things to do was Bikram yoga and drinking beer in downtown Boston while people watching. :) It was a lovely visit with Marcela, who brought with her many gifts and goodies. Too bad our little ones weren't on their best behavior for her. We're not sure she'll ever return...

 

 

 

 

 

We all take a break after walking Marginal Way along the seacoast of Maine. Fortunately for us, lunch was enjoyed at a Top Chef Masters restaurant right on the waterfront! Worth every mile! :)

 

 

The coastline is magestic and magical. Check out the stacked rocks. We're definitely in Maine. :)

Bye Bye Maine...See you again, soon.

 Nothing screams Fall more quickly than homemade caramel corn (complete with candy corn, that is). We created our very own concoction and prepared some recently for the LAST DRIVE-IN of the season (Nemo/The Avengers).  This time of year is always bittersweet. While we love Fall, saying good bye to the beach, Martha's Vineyard, and summertime fun in the heat can be a little daunting. But, with ever season, change occurs that reawakens our passion for New England. Fall is especially one of those times of year. And with that, we bid summer adieu, and welcome the harvest season.
