Happy Halloween!

Everly was so excited to be back in the US for Halloween. She missed it greatly last year. Halloween and fall in general. Leaves, apples, pumpkins, etc. It’s just not the same in Sweden, so this year she wanted to go all out! She carved her own pumpkins, put together a great costume for her and the dog, and even rallied a group of friends to go trick-or-treating. Now she’s sitting on the floor with her friends playing dice and gambling with candy. (after secretly texting me asking me to send her friends home soon because she’s exhausted.)

Trick-or-treating

My costume was part of a bigger group costume at work, based on the book Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak. My boss was Max and the rest of us were Wild Things. It was actually a pretty fun group costume.

Earlier in the day we picked up our CSA share
This morning at work.
Max and the Wild Things

UPDATE: This was posted on Facebook this evening. Rumor has it she was referring to E’s group. “If you have teenagers out trick or treating on Colonial Drive in Wilder right now, I have something to say to you, so listen up. Your kids are adorable and they have lovely manners. Thank you for raising such nice humans.”

Quick trip to WPI

We met Rosy at WPI this weekend to take in a pep band concert (with a little football on the side)! It was a great fall day for a day trip. The sun was shining, the leaves were falling, and the WPI Engineers won! We took Lex out to dinner afterwards (Olive Garden, of course), then had to say goodbye again. :( Good thing we’ll see him again in a few weeks for Thanksgiving!

This is a playlist, so just click play and let it run through all six videos.

Senior Pictures!

Hard to believe, but Miss Eve, now Everly, is graduating this year. We had her senior pictures taken last weekend. We went to a waterfall we found over the summer. She wanted the woodland fairy vibe and she wanted to splash in the water, so it seemed like the best place. Her friend Simon joined us to get his pictures done as well. We had fun and I’m excited to get the professional pictures back! In the meantime, here are a few that Alan and I took. :)
