Turkey Trot '09

Ben competed in his first race....a one mile Turkey Trot sponsored by the Town of Mamaroneck.. Check out our morning in photos.








a few stretches before the start....







He stopped for a few water breaks...




But finished in 12 minutes flat...we are so proud of him!

Jake At School

Jake goes to Mommy and Me on Fridays. It is an action packed 90 or so minutes. They start with free play.....

and do a little arts and crafts if they want to....



Then we march to music class where Jake usually runs all over the place until they do his favorite baby song...then he pays attention and participates..


There is always cooking, mixing and baking and Jake is the first to participate..





And after a little more free play....

We end with a Shabbat Celebration with Challah, grape juice and yummy snacks.



Shabbat Shalom!

We have been taking tons of photos pre-Halloween but this post is just a re-cap of our actual trick-or-treating experience. Ben ate the FASTEST dinner because he wanted to put on his costume and get our there!! Here the boys are prepping for a fun night out...

Ben was READY!! Nathaniel came over and they were off!!

seriously, it was trick-or-treating in record time. Jake, on the otherhand, was just happy to be out after dark! He was walking with his pumpkin...
He encoutered a friendly dog... and when he was given candy.....he brought it back to the person who gave it to him...
we did manage to shove a few pieces in his pumpkin so he sat down and inspected it. Notice how sweaty this Monkey was (it was 75 degrees)
Ben and Nathaniel had a blast.
After it was all over, the boys collected their thoughts and counted their loot..



they each ate one piece of candy before bed. (Jake had his first Nestle's Crunch...he like it!) and Ben's favorite is Kit Kat though he is enjoying sampling them all.
