A new Blog has joined us.....
http://nikkoandme.blogspot.com/


Harry our little photographer now has a Blog just for his photo's.
While I was away on the weekend on the womens wellness weekend, Dave dug out our old web-cam, we haven't used it in years and forgot we had it.
Anyway, it takes pics and short movies and totally looks like a toy! So Dave fixed it up and found the cables and gave it to Harry. He is having a blast with this! Who knew he had such a passion for taking pics, he loves documenting everything. He's new favorite thing to say is "Let me get my camera!" He wants to snap everything!
Together Harry and I will upload his pics to his blog, they will be 100% his pics and will show the things he finds special. Special enough to capture in a photo! Hope you enjoy it, please leave a comment if you visit, I think he would love to know that others out there are enjoying his photo's too.

Today at the park!
more sunshine, friends and lots of leaves...fall!

We met up with our buds today at Philip Arnold park in Renton. Beautiful fall day to run around and play with our friends. The playground was a little wet, but the big yellow leaves were a great novelty with the kids.

Our weekend Adventure in Seattle and Alki beach...
A Beautiful sun shinny day!


The first day of November brought one the prettiest days yet this fall! Not sure what the temp was, but t-shirt and sunglasses were required! There was a bit of a chill to the air, but so refreshing, standing in the sun was enough to warm you up.
We had to get out and be part of it!

We decided to go on a drive! So off to town we went, via the scenic route. Around the Lake, just beautiful! We ended up in town for lunch, down on the waterfront. We then headed over to Alki Beach for a play in the sand. Could the day be any more perfect!

It came to end when we dropped Dave at the airport for a flight to Cali, yes another business trip! But thank god not to long, he'll be back in a few days. Hopefully the sunshine will stay a little longer.

Costume change number 3!



So for the first party Harry dressed as a Blue Power Ranger, not surprise there!
The second party, Harry decided to spice up his outfit and went at Harry Potter, complete with glasses and scar, name was a given...hehehe! Sorry no pic of that one, he was having too much fun at the RMG party.
Then came trick or treating, again something different! This time Pirate Harry was joining in the fun! What a fun few days of dress up. Thomas was spider man this time, glad to see we are getting our monies worth out of the dress up box!

Happy Halloween!!!
You'll never believe it! This year Harry wanted to be a blue power ranger...SHOCK!
Thomas was finding it hard to choose between, following his brother's power ranger lead or going his own way as a fire fighter. Fire fighter won out in the end!

Between a Halloween party at the Black belt academy, Renton Moms Group spooktacular and trick or treating around the neighborhood, they will have ample times to wear their costumes.

After just one party, Harry is already sick of candy...lol! He went to bed last night with a stomach ache, saying how he never wants to eat candy again! Well we will see, as a mom I can only hope!
We went to the annual Halloween party with the RMG, it was great seeing so many friends =) The boys had fun eating more junk food (so much for the no more candy Harry...lol!) Dave won a cake on the cake walk...so yum! Red velvet cake covered in cream and oreo cookies...mmm

I swear no more sugar for me!

Pumpkin Picking 09

This year we found a new place for pumpkin picking. OK so I have totally forgotten the name! But it was great!! It took us just over 30mins to get there and it was the most beautiful country drive.
I love this time of year, crisp blue skies, warm fall colors, cozy sweaters, spiced apple cider and rainboots...love it!

The kids had a ball, I think just being outside in the fresh country air was invigorating. There was so much to do at the farm. From riding on the tractor ride, blowing bubbles, playing in the corn pit, running around the corn maze, feeding the animals and picking out pumpkins...few! what a day!

Here are some pics...


First School Assignment!

Harry was asked to make a photo time-line of his life!
