Halloween

Finn and Mackie went Trick or Treating this year in what is soon to be our new neighborhood. It was a great evening with both old and new friends.

Mackie was a ballerina, and Finn was a cowboy. The best quote was from Finn. As he put on his costume, he very politely asked "Who is gonna put out the eggs?" Just we got a little confused over the halloween bucket and the easter basket?

Fall Break

Not sure why we need a week long fall break just three weeks before Thanksgiving break, but sometimes you can't ask those type of questions.

Anyway - Finn and Mac had the week off of school. So on Wednesday, we headed to Charleston to the aquarium. Charlotte and Colton Freeman joined us for the ride.

Island Playground

Over in Hilton Head is a great indoor playground with bouncy houses, castles, all sorts of stuff.

Mac loved playing peek a boo, and Finn had a blast in the castle.

Of course Mackie can also be a little bully. Tripp says she gets it honestly.

Summer Fun at the Skate Park

Every saturday during the spring, summer, and fall, Port Royal hosts the most wonderful Farmer's Market. The best part for Finn is the location -- right next to the skate park. Here he is riding his skateboard.

Mackie likes it too, of course. We think she maybe our little dare devil.

Words of Wisdom

Finn and I had the following conversation today after school:

Finn: "Mommy, where's daddy?"

Me: "Daddy is at work, baby."

Finn: "Why?"

Me: "To make money."

Finn: "Why?"

Me: "So that we can live in our house, buy clothes, food, and...."

Finn: "And juice."

Me (said with a chuckle): "Yes buddy, and juice." 

Finn: "Box juice!"

Me (said with laughter): "Yes, and box juice." 

If only it were always this simple.
