Thanksgiving 2015

We had a yummy and relaxing Thanksgiving this year!

peanuts movie

We went to see the Peanuts movie last weekend. Malcolm said it was fine and Jane wished it had looked more flat like the old cartoons.

all-school meeting

Malcolm's first grade class hosted the all school meeting right before Thanksgiving break. Here are the kids getting a pep talk before it started!

Jane kept waving to Malcolm, it was really cute.

He was one of the volunteers who spoke in front of everyone.

Lining up to go back to class:

art and culture

I've been to two amazing art museums recently. Last week I went to the Institute of Contemporary Art and this week the Harvard Art Museums.

Both museums were very inspiring!

green

Although most would say Malcolm has brown eyes, when you look closely they are more green. I took this photo to show him.

ahoy

After we got home from the Tea Party museum the kids made their own cardboard boat complete with oars, fishing poles and a gun. Then had fun playing in it that evening!

Boston Tea Party

The kids have been begging to go to the Boston Tea Party museum for years, and we finally went with Duncan and Cassidy!

Throwing the tea overboard was the highlight, of course!

We had lunch and dessert at a nearby bakery, it was delicious!

We spotted this sculpture made of foam peanuts on our walk back to the train!

I was glad they decided to read instead of goof off on the train.

new cousin

We got to visit our newest relative, Willow! Grammy brought supplies to make yummy pilgrim hats to eat.

last soccer games

The kids played their last games of the season last weekend. Both games were fun to watch!

Jane played goalie during the second half and she made a lot of saves!

All the photos of Malcolm's game are from the first half. The second half was too dark!

November

I got together with a group of moms to make apple pies. Our pie was delicious!

I was walking with a friend in the woods and we found this cute nest!

This was probably the last apple picking outing of the year.

Day of the Dead

We got together with some friends for a Day of the Dead gathering. We had Fall, Mexican-themed food and decorated skulls.

Lindsay made sugar skulls and skull cookies, and she brought all kinds of decorations for them. It was fun!

Jane held Wesley and he was trying to get legos!

Our friends came to watch Malcolm's soccer game!
