Every year the Brooklyn Botanic Garden puts on a pre-Halloween party for the kids. They can make masks, listen to music, ride (sit on) fake animals, and try on big paper maché costumes.
I have to admit that this was my first time going to the Botanic Garden. I know.. I’ve lived in NY for over a decade now, but I just never made it. Kate tried to spend every Tuesday here with other moms (because it was free) so she was a pro. She didn’t even need my help down these stairs.

Some questionable “off-roading”.

They sure like labeling things, even rocks.


Making a shaker out of a plastic egg and your choice of dried seeds and beans.


Gotta tape that egg closed so the seeds don’t fall out if Noah drops it…

..or throws it.








Lunch at a spot were we can watch the Patriots game.

The off-roading is just practice for NH…he is growing so fast…he is beautiful…
