(4 nights of) Halloween

Kate had 4 crazy days of Halloween. First, on Wednesday, there was the costume/PJ party at our library. Then on Thursday night she went to Grandma's Halloween party at work. Friday was the Arlington Family Connection's Halloween party at Together in Motion, and Saturday she went to Inti's 4th birthday party (costume party!). By Sunday, she was done and asked "Do I need to wear my monkey suit today?" Nope, we said, and brought her to the Museum of Science for some non-Halloween fun with the Moore boys. Whew! Kate hugs her buddy Malati at our library. They have been chums since they were about 15 mos old.

Kate and Grandma listen to stories

My tired monkey

Kate and Bubba at Grandma's work. Kate was very excited about trick-or-treating and focused almost exclusively on dum dum lollipops.

I bet Kate thinks Grandma has this much fun at work everyday....

There was even a (heavily sedated, I imagine) rabbit at the party. He just sat there while dozens of kids poked and prodded him. Weird.

Once we walked out of the place, Kate collapsed on the lawn and announced she and Grandma needed a rest.
On Friday, we went to the AFC Halloween party. It was in a tumble gym and had lots of crafts, etc. We brought Jill and Jaime with us.

Kate was exhausted by the end of it. See videos below to see why!

Steve took Kate to Inti's party on Saturday because I was working. Papa isn't the photographer I am so use your imagination :-)

HONK

Kate dancing at the Davis Square HONK! festival. HONK! is basically the most left-wing hippy weekend of parades, bands and other revels. It attracts Always a great time.

Topsfield Fair

We went to the Topsfield Fair with Charlie, Carla, and Madeline. The fair is known for its giant pumpkin contest and for being the oldest fair in NE. It was very crowded compared to the fairs we went to this summer up in VT!! We are spoiled. We had a good time though, especially on the rides...

It was one crazy bus...

Uncle Jake's Visit

Uncle Jake was in town the same weekend Reed and Debi were, so we all met at Drumlin Farm for some October Harvest fun. So, Grandma, Bubba, Jake, Grandpapa, Grandma Henny, and Mama and Papa all had a great time with Kate!
