Pajama Day

Is in any surprise that on "pajama day" at school, Henry picks the most garish set of pajamas known to man?

Thanksgiving 2011

This year we headed to Florida for Thanksgiving and a visit with Grandpa Tim, Nene, and Aunt Gina. Although the weather has been unseasonably warm in Boston, we certainly weren't complaining about the even warmer temperatures in Florida.

Henry enjoyed beach time:

Pool time:

Park time:

And actually ate Thanksgiving dinner this year!

It was exhausting:

Happy Thanksgiving!

Camping

We had a marathon leaf raking session in the backyard today. Near the end, Henry decided it would be a good idea to have a campout, with our chiminea acting as campfire:

(please ignore the camo blanket he has...it was a joke gift - actually a camo Snuggie 0 that alas he has decided to like).

Superhero Race

The day before HAlloween I was supposed to run a 5K with a group of friends. It was the "Superhero" 5K that I did last year, where you dress in costume as your favorite Superhero (last year we all dressed as "Hunger Games" tributes!). Alas, this year we had a lovely snowstorm the night before, and when we awoke that morning there was still a lot of snow, ice, and slush on the ground, so we all wimped out.

One of the disappointments was that before the 5K there was to be a kids' race, and all the kids were going to dress in costume. Since the kids had been looking forward to that, we decided to hold our own kids' superhero race the next weekend, once all the snow had left.

I'll give you three guesses as to who the mom is who forgot to bring her child's costume to the race, and the first two don't count. Luckily, Henry didn't care and had a great time.
