Halfway through the fall, and we've barely had any "true" fall days.  Mostly warm and humid through the month of September.  Just posting a few images from since mid-September. :)

The boys wanted a photo in front of this old car, I am not sure why.  It reminded me some of the first car I can remember my Dad owning...same lines, but his was bottle green and a convertible.  Someone on Instagram said it looks like the "Ghostbusters" station wagon.

Coming back from a farm visit we stopped for dinner in Pawling NY. Found a neat little pub and the boys were posing with mom's beer.  They tried it, though, but weren't fans.

Dash and I played our first games of chess! I dug my old set out of storage.  Anyway, the funny part of our games was the trash talking Dash was doing :).  Really?! The kid's 8! Playing a board game with Dash reminded me of playing cribbage with Nana Brown and my Aunt Nancy :).  I still have Nana Brown's old crib board, but it's tough finding anyone who wants to play crib...maybe when Dash gets a bit older.

Good friends of ours have a stake in a farmstead in upstate NY.  They host parties on the farm and it was so fun to get out of the city...chat with folks, drink a beer or two, eat good food, watch the world go by...and your kids play with fire :).  They had a bonfire.

Trip upstate, we stayed at a HoJos. They had a pool. This photo is totally posed, but I was reminded of icebergs when looking at it.  You only see the top 10% of Dash, the other 90% is below the water :)
Photo day for Hugo.  He's not a fan of button-frint shirts at all, but if he was forced to wear one, which he was, this one is his favorite.

New sweater.  Dash got his afternoon school bus and he told me that some of his friends said that he looked like he was in the army with this sweater on.  I asked him if that bothered him, and he said, no he didn't mind at all.

One of me.  No reason. We were buying costumes for the kids. Those photos are coming later in the month.
