Trick or Treating at Nanas with our Pals





Continued the tradition of trick or treating with the Ismails.  Our cousin Madeline joined us this year.  Heather was a movie star, Trevor was a ninja - our first fish free costume....so I thought.  The ninja sword turned out to have a Koi fish on it so Trevor felt like his karma was restored!  The twins were George Washington and Cat in the Hat and Madeline was an owl.  Heather wanted to go to far more houses then everyone else, but perhaps next year!

Survived Hurricane Sandy and here's some photos of the kids roughing it.

We survived the storm with only a few dents in our roof vent - Heather was quite scared by the storm.  Trevor kept asking to go outside.  The dog was not a fan of the storm either.  We lost power at 6:30 p.m. but had it back around 1:00 a.m. so no real complaints.  When it was bedtime the wind was so loud the kids were too scared to sleep so I pulled out our battery fans from the summer power outage and used those as noise machines which worked quite nicely!




Trevor is Now 6 Years Old!



Everyone inside the cyclone machine - Dad's hair did not move even at 80 MPH!


















Trevor is obsessed with two things: fish and skylanders.  He was SO excited to open these he
had to do it in the car and play as soon as he got home.





Trevor wanted to have a "real" party like his sister with a moonbounce.  With the uncertainties of weather, we decided to have it at a moonbounce park called "Pump It Up".  Trevor and the kiddos had a great time.  As you can see at the end of the day he was wiped out sleeping on his fish pillow with his Skylanders next to him.
