Pumpkin love

Mary is making the most of her pumpkin socks.

Most recently she used them as mittens.

When I went to dim the lights in Mary's room after she fell asleep this is what I found. One mitten fell by the wayside, it seems.

Mary uses the oven as her mirror whenever she wants to check herself out, which is quite often.

"These are all my animals, Mama."

Leaving school

Mary was in a good mood when we left school yesterday.

There are lots of important things in her backpack.

Saying goodbye to the giant snowman.

Art projects

Mary loves doing art projects. Sometimes her attention span isn't very long, so the neater the activity the more I like it :-).

Playing with the dot paint she got for Christmas. "I'm just like Jack!"

Putting her feet up.

I think she was singing here, but I can't remember what song.

Time for different colors.

Muffins

Mary was very helpful with making pumpkin muffins yesterday.

She kept saying "It's Halloween!" Even though we barely celebrated Halloween last year she somehow associates it with pumpkin.

More school pics

Oinking around.

Helping peel clementines at snack time.

Holding hands with a boy. Oh dear! Mary is wearing one of her favorite accessories: a buff. I thought it looked like a do-rag at first, but it has Hello Kitty on it and it's quite functional.

Singing or celebrating -- not sure which.

Lazy Sunday

Mary and I hung out while Pabbi was helping Amma and Afi.

"It's a birthday candle!" Mary talks about her birthday a lot these days. I'm not sure how to break it to her that it's 4 months away.

Blowing it out.

Working hard at her desk.

"My desk is wobbly, Mama."

"This is my tool."

Boston visit!

Mary and I had a really fun visit to Boston to see family and friends.

Making music.

Big boxes are loads of fun!

Conor!

Chillaxing. Mary insisted on wearing flip flops so everyone could see her fancy piggies.

Jack munches while Conor sleeps at the BC basketball game.

Mary thought Conte forum looked a little dingy.

Holding Conor is getting harder as he gets bigger.

Jack gets snuggle time with Nana.

Mary gets snuggle time with Pop.

Time for drinks in the Dora chairs.

Thanking Uncle Matt for the awesome tool set.

Buttons!

School pics

Mary's school posts pictures online and I found a few that are especially fun.

That is one ugly nose.

Doing some heavy lifting.

Action shot!

Hugs :-).

Making a cake for someone's birthday.

Song time.

Hanging with Sonja

Mary was eager to show Sonja all sorts of things when she came over for dinner the other night.

"These are my pumpkin socks."

There was some back and forth over who should get Elmo.

Helping Sonja (and Einar fraendi) with her socks.

These next photos are courtesy of Sveinn fraendi.

Smooches!
