Halloween!!

This halloween, we had some scary witches at our house.  Noah was the wicked witch of the west, and Eva was the wicked witch of the east.

Happy scary witches

Scary scary witches

Thank you to Grammy for making the witch costumes, and even making me a Dorothy apron

(if only the real Dorothy could have gotten along this well with the witches)

First we left our witches cave

And did some trick-or-treating with some friends in Newton Highlands

From left: Wicked witch of the South, Fairy ballet princess, Fairy ballet princess, WW of West, WW of East.  I guess this is an unlikely coalition, but dire times and candy can bring people together... 

And then went back to Ollie and Max's house for dinner and more trick-or-treating in our neighborhood.

From left: Lawnmower, Ariel, Racecar Driver, Pumpkin, WWs.  I suppose this diverse crew is no better... 

It was a much-anticipated and much enjoyed evening, and we have enough candy to last for the rest of the year.

More progress (sort of)

The cabinets are hung, and on Friday the appliances arrived!

Hello, I am new fancy stove

 Hello, we are new fancy dishwasher and microwave, in new fancy bubble wrap

But there was a small problem with the fridge

Hello, I am new fancy fridge, way too deep for your space, don't you feel like an idiot for not double-checking the dimensions.

So we had them come back and take it back to the store today.  Hopefully the thinner replacement will arrive before the kitchen is completed.

I will remain a gaping hole to remind you of your foolishness!!

Kitchen: Cabinets going up

Here we go, cabinets starting to go up!

Rain walk

At the risk of too many pictures of Eva in a row, here are some more...

and there goes Noah...

Special Braid

The other day I did a "special braid" in Eva's hair, mostly just to see if I could do it.

 

 

I think it turned out great! And it lasted for about 5 minutes.

Harvest Fair

We really enjoyed the kiddie rides at the Newton Harvest Fair last weekend. This year Eva was tall enough to go on them all!

They tried out the flying cars...

And the dragon roller coster

Eva did NOT like the dragon roller coaster.

 

But to her credit, after that ride she rallyed and insisted on going on ALL of the other rides. The teacups were much easier for her.

And the motorcycle ride was kind of scary but she hung in there

Noah was clearly thrilled at the prospect of riding a motorcycle

And then they got to share some fried dough with Daddy. Best afternoon ever!!
