The weekend after Bumpa's visit we were lucky enough to get a visit from Nana and Grandpa.  It is always such a pleasure to have them visit.  Nana brought us chicken pot pie and they both brought up so much love. The weather perfect, albeit a little bit cold for them.  They were troopers, they came to an evening soccer game at UVM and then watched the kids play soccer in the "parents vs. kids" end of season soccer game. 

 The best part about Nana and Grandpa's visit is the quality time they spend with the kids.  This year, Cally was all about making her own Halloween costume.  She wants to be an owl.  I thought about buying an already made costume (for $50+), but instead watched a Youtube video and decided we could do this.  A $60 visit to AC Moore later, we had a huge project in front of us.  I immediately started wondering what the heck I was thinking. I really had no idea how I was going to make this work without a sewing machine.

Alas, Nana swooped in to save the day.  She was able to help with the sewing and Grandpa helped with the mask design.  John and I went out for a mountain bike ride and returned to find a house full of crafting. It was beyond cute.

In other news, John got a new yard toy:

And we are all still loving the warm weather and beautiful colors of fall:
