This is from a week ago...

Hockey Game!

What a fun evening! The boys received the jerseys earlier this week from their father in anticipation of this game.....even bruin fans were commenting at how cute they were! They did look cute but even better they were well behaved! I remember my Grandma Grace repeating (repeatedly!) handsome is as handsome does. How true!

They are really into wrestling and chasing each other. This morning, I rolled over to see Thomas laying on his mat next to my bed with his warm hat and gloves on (they had been wearing them last night and he found them in the bathroom this morning). Nathan had been snuggling with me but when he saw Thomas, he went and got his warm gear. Then Nathan went around to Thomas and stole Thomas' big blanket. From there it went to a wrestling match which they enjoyed so much that they staged it again a few more times. After one of the times, Nathan pulled off his glove complaining that his finger hurt. Thomas asked where, Nathan pointed and Thomas kissed it. Thomas straightened up and said "maybe it hurts from bonking me on the head!" Too cute!

Happenings

A picture of Thomas at ice skating lesson last week. He was so excited after, that when his Dad got home from work he asked that we go public skating! We are glad they are both enjoying it. Isabelle and Lillian came to the boy's Friday morning story hour last week. A treat to have their company!

A Mishmash of pictures!

One morning, the boys tried on old Howe sister roller skates! They did pretty well and it reminded them of ice skating. They had their first lesson of the season last week. Both boys really did super. They certainly didn't seem to lose any of their ability and if anything, they were faster than I remembered but they are older and more agile! The next picture is the boys enjoying a puzzle with Mike D. Next is our pumpkin carving (tells you how delinquent I am in posting pictures!). The next picture (thanks to Nathan) is of myself and our friend Jennie who we visited while Thomas was in Westwood. Then a picture of the boys with their pal Connor. Finally, the last two pictures are from Halloween day. Instead of storyhour, the librarians took the group to the town hall for trick or treating. The picture shows the boys with their favorite children's room librarians and those two ladies are really special people. Halloween night, we went south to Hopkinton to trick or treat up and down Downey Street.

Thomas is cracking us up with his expressions today. He told us in the car when he was describing something (a medieval looking hotel on Route nine looked like a sand castle) that he was "serious". Too cute! He told Nathan to "knock it off" when they were playing with trains. There are more which I wish I could recall and maybe I will!
