Halloween

Aaaargh! He be a tough lookin' pirate.

What a cute puppy! This costume brings back memories of baby Em.

It be a sad business, this pirating.

Enjoying a beautiful Halloween day with Abuelita.

Ben's Book of the Week

Benedict's first ever pick for Book of the Week is...

Creating Clever Castles and Cars from Boxes and Other Stuff by Mari Rutz Mitchell

Ben's review:

I really like it because it shows me how to make so many things. We made a pirate ship and it was so fun to play in. Lots and lots of fun. Me and my uncles are saving milk jugs to make an igloo! I also want to make a sub in the bathtub.

Additional comments by Emanuel:

I want to make all the stuff!

Happy 3rd Birthday Emanuel!

Emanuel woke up SO excited that it was finally his birthday!


Starting the day off right with blueberry pancakes. Yum!


There can never be too many party hats!

Present time- a pirate ship! Emanuel really likes pirates.

A giant sea baby attacking the ship...

A man-eating sea baby!

The guests arrive. Party time!

Blowing out the candles. What a great day!
