Legos, I have a love/hate relationship with them...

Most days it looks like a Lego bomb exploded in my house.  They are everywhere!  Tyler loves Legos and can't seem to ever get enough of them.  When we want to buy him a gift we know he'll love, Legos it is!  But as happy as they make Tyler, they make me equally unhappy when I am stepping on them... OUCH!

But on the flip side, when I see the joy they make me love them.  Especially when I catch Juliana and Tyler playing them together, warms my heart.

So my relationship with Legos is definitely in a love/hate status.  

Old man winter came knocking early...

We had a huge snow storm in October!  We lost power for 5 days, others in the state lost it for even longer.  It's no fun around here without power.  It's cold, dark, and we don't even have running water.  After the first day we packed up and went to my brothers in Rhode Island.  The kids school got canceled for a few days and Halloween was happening different then our original plans.  The kids were happy to go trick or treating with their twin cousins Gavin and Jesse.  It was actually pretty surreal for me since my brother lives on the street I grew up on.  My kids were trick or treating on the same street, at the same houses I did as a child.

Once we were able to move back into our house our neighborhood decided to do a re-do of trick or treating for the kids.  My sister came over with her kids and they all got to collect more candy.

Back to the storm.... it was so strange seeing snow on fall foliage, and Halloween decorations covered in snow.  I snapped some pictures.
