Fall has Flown

First Day of School- Dominic was not cooperating. Natalie was over excited.

Natalie turned 4!

Cooking Smores in the yard or aka "camping out" as the kids call it.

 Of course little Cara would have food on her face.

Kirk must have been in the Halloween Spirit early this year. I woke up the other morning to find this on my counter.

The kids enjoyed the school Halloween parties. We still haven't done the neighborhood trick or treat since everything was delayed until this weekend due to hurricane Sandy smashing into the East coast earlier this week.

 I hadn't planned to dress Cara up, but she wanted to be involved in what her brother and sister were doing. She even jumped in the parade at school when I wasn't looking. It was quite cute. Natalie was quick to tell her she wasn't big enough though.

Dominic's class (17 kids total) teachers Mrs. Leppert and Mrs. Root aren't in the picture. 

 I helped out with Natalie's class party by heading up the craft. We made these pinterest inspired ghosts which I think turned out pretty cute.

 The kids are told to sit on a letter and Natalie always sits on her letter the "n". She's with her buddy Zoe.

 Playing musical chairs

 I snuck across the hall to Dominic's class so I could take a picture of him. He was reading through Halloween books and his Buddy Carter was pointing out his Iron Man "shooter".

Carving Pumpkins on Nov. 1st was a little strange but the kids didn't seem to mind. I'll have to grab a picture of the finished product this weekend.

 This little girl is too cute.

Welcome to the Family JAX! All the kids waiting at the window to see what Dad brought home with him.

Dominic, Natalie and Cara have all had fun pretending to be dogs. They'll tell me I have 4 dogs and no more kids.

Everything I Should Have Blogged

Guess what? We've moved. We are settling into our new home and loving it. That will have to be a different post. This post is dedicated to a wrap-up of all the events and happenings that I should have blogged about over the last six-plus months. Actually not true- the only happenings documented here are the ones of which I have pictures. I am sure there were many life changing events that are now forever lost to history for lack of physical evidence... But, here's a quick snap shot of what I did manage to capture on the camera.
