The Carriage Ride

We are still in the palace room. I got out to take a picture.

Love, The Basso Family

Balloons!!!

Dad found a whole bunch of balloons and gave them to Ava and Sarah. Ava had all of the red ones and Sarah had all of the silver ones.

Goodbye Mimi and Papa

We loved having you visit this whole week! Sad to see you go, but hope to see you again soon! Love, Ava and Sarah

Lost my tooth!

Friday night Ava's tooth was literally hanging by a thread. Dad got a tissue and barely got a hold of it and out it came. Ava couldn't believe it and she ran around and was quite upset for a few minutes. She said that she didn't want anybody to see it and that it looked horrible and she wanted it back in. After a while she was okay with it and was excited for the tooth fairy to come. Now the tooth right next to it is loose and we are guessing it will be next, though it could take some time. This first tooth was loose for almost two months!

ca-ca

Sarah likes "ca-ca" which is how she says candy. Her favorite are Junior Mints. Mom usually gives her a couple after breakfast. Tonight Dad gave her the whole (little) box after dinner tonight. But she also just loves to sort through the bag.

First snow!

Sunday morning we woke up to a couple inches of wet slushy snow. It was cold but Dad and Ava managed to shovel the driveway and sidewalk before Mass. It was an early snow, not often do we get snow in October. But unfortunately it wasn't too good for everybody. Lots of people lost power. Grandma and Grandpa lost power in Connecticut and still didn't have power even on Monday.

Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween from Laura Ingalls and the Little Chick. Monday was a cold Halloween night, but that didn't stop our little trick or treaters! Ava made out with a good bag of candy. Ava, Mom, and Sarah went trick or treating with Ava's friend Sophie and her mother. Dad stayed home to hand out candy (a total of 9 kids came to our door in 2 hours!). Sarah got a few candies and managed to eat a 3 Musketeers and part of a dum-dum. Ava stayed up and watched a TV program while she settled down. Then she fell asleep in less than 10 minutes, a really tired kid!
