Happy 4th Birthday Claire-Bear!

To celebrate Claire's 4th birthday we ventured to Plattsburgh to the Comfort Inn where there's plenty of fun!

Arcade Fun!

Dinner @ the Plattsburgh Brewing Co.


Splash Pad!
When we arrived home a special treat was in our refrigerator from Aunt Mary Jane!
Birthday Surprise with Rubble, Skye, and Marshall!



It was such a beautiful day on Sunday we snuck in a short nature walk and used some things we gathered for Claire's homework:


Over the weekend Mom traveled to Burlington on her own to the Ronald McDonald House while Daddy and the girls stayed in NY.  Daddy went to a wedding on Saturday and the girls had a sleep over at Grammie and Pa's.  It was a short time away but a reminder that we like being together best!

A walk around Battery Park - while the photo doesn't capture
the foilage that well the view was spectacular!


Since the girls didn't have school on Friday but Daddy did we called Niece to see if she would like to spend the day with the girls.  All three were so excited to be back together again!

Halloween Crafts with Niece




School nights are super busy at our house now that we need to be sure the girls are in bed early but this past week we managed to get a few fun outings in before dinner - one night we visited the playground, and another the library (since now that Gymnastics and Dance classes are happening it's tough to make it there on Saturday's).   These were quick visits, 15-minutes, but something fun to do in our own neighborhood!


Puppet Show, a favorite toy at the local library!

We could not find the Halloween Costume Stella wanted in her size locally.  When we tried to order it online, it was out of stock!  Fortunately though, the company put us on a list for restocking which happened quickly so we ordered it right away.  When it arrived much sooner than expected we had one happy pup!  If you aren't around little ones, Paw Patrol is a Nick Jr. show about several pups, all with different themes, who are always helping to save the day!






 Packing school lunches has become an important part of our routine.  We keep it simple, avoid nut-products, and try our best to make it healthy.  Thank you to Aunt MJ for buying the girls these soft lunch boxes which fit everything, including our thermoses from a prior blog post, perfectly!  While not shown here, their favorite is a cinnamon-sugar (sprinkled over butter) sandwich, cut in a mickey shape!
