Last night our close friends The Castana's invited us to go to see Sesame Street Live out on Fort Drum. Seth had been to see The Doodlebops over the summer so I knew that he would be interested in going and he was in awe. 
Seth and his buddy Jacob!
At first Seth wanted to sit with Lee and that made me sad, but a little while into it, he came and sat with me!
Remember the sprinkles!
Can I PLEASE eat one Mommy?
So Yummy!
Thank you Grandma Puccia for coming over and assisting!
We had so much fun!
I take that back, I need to take a new picture because he now has the moldings up and it looks even better.
We also got a shipment of supplies last night for our remodel, so if the snow stops they can start anytime.
I never imagined that a truck that large could fit down our driveway, but it did!
Step 1: Choose a design
Step 2: Stick your hand way down and scoop out the guts!
Step 3: When you decide you don't like the feeling of the guts, have your mom do it for you!
Step 4: Help Daddy carve the face of the pumpkin!
Step 5: Smile with your finished product!
I have been taking videos here and there this fall, but I haven't had the time to upload them, so here are a few!
Roland swam with Seth for our last Parent/Tot Swim Class this past week. Thank goodness, because I wasn't looking or feeling very pretty in a swim suit. Seth loved swimming with his Daddy!
Roland took Seth to the Halloween party at Kidnastics on Friday night and he had a blast!
What did we do before videos? Seth loves to watch these all the time and relive his memories!
Trying out for the coloring contest!
Musical Chairs
Face Painting 
A little crafty time making a scarecrow!
We had a great morning of fall fun and then we walked down for some pizza at Cam's on the square. All in all it was a great day with friends!
We can finally say that we have officially started our renovations. Right now we are patiently waiting for the concrete to dry and set so that the men can really start working and making progress next week. All of the materials have been ordered, the new carpet has been picked out and the installation date has been set. Even as a side project, Roland has gotten the closet framed up and the doors on it in the babies room. We now need to hang the drywall and our little girls room will start to take shape.
This picture probably doesn't mean much to most of you, but to us it means that the floor won't sink in our brand new family room!
The holes are dug and are ready for the concrete today! By this time next week we should see some actual progress and I'll have tons and tons of pics along the way!
Don't you just love the hair on the doll? So funny!
Have a great weekend! We are off to do a little baby girl shopping, eat some much craved Chinese food, check out something called an Appleumpkin Festival and have friends for dinner.
Looking at these pictures makes any stress I am feeling just disappear!
On Saturday we went to The Backyard Farmer with Jacob and some other friends. We rode on just about every kiddie ride, had a snack and jumped into some hay stacks.
On Sunday we picked apples in Mexico with the family and then had a fall cookout at the beach on the way home. Seth was in his glory! 
On Monday we made three batches of apple crisp with all of our freshly picked apples and then we went to Old Mcdonald's Farm one last time for the season.
Seth's newest obbsession is saying grace before every meal. He loves it and has learned 2 different prayers; one traditional and one I learned (believe it or not) at Catholic School as a kid. He's too funny so we thought you'd all like to check it out!
What talent!
After that he boxed in the crawl space under the breakfast nook. He decided to do that after an early morning skunk spraying outside our house scared me into thinking that a family of skunks was going to move into the underneath part of the house where there is no cellar. That is all taken care of so I can rest easy.
Tonight we have swim class followed by the Rotary Spaghetti Dinner. My grandparents are coming down to join us for class and dinner. It should be a fun night!
This is how far down the water is from the bridge.
The Suspension Bridge
In the spirit of not stressing, Roland decided to get a head start on the contractors this weekend by reconfiguring our decks floor plan himself. Half of our orginal deck will now hold the new family room, but the remainder will still hold the grill and deck toys so he needed to change where the steps were. Roland LOVES projects so he was right on top of it this weekend. Here are some pics of his progress so far. 
The steps he made are temporary until the addition is done and we know exactly how wide we are able to make them. It was so sad for us both to take the deck apart though, it was the first investment we made in the house when we bought it 6 years ago! Now we are on to bigger and better things! Stay tuned...
The contractors are supposed to start this week, but we have had SO MUCH rain that it has delayed them in pouring the concrete for the footers. I am very hopeful that they start today. Once they get started, the footers have the set for one to two weeks and then they will come back and get right to work on our addition and siding. That is when the real excitement begins and I will be sure to take tons of pics to update you all!
In other news, the rain has put such a damper on any plans that we had for this week. So it has been pretty routine. We went to swim class, (it is not pretty trying to squeeze into my suit anymore!) and tonight we are headed to Pierrepont Manor to get Seth's pics taken. It has been two years since we last did it, so he is due and we can't wait to see the outcome.
I am also headed to Ithaca with my mom on Saturday to spend the day with my brother. Seth and Roland are going to stay home and have a guys day!
That's about it for now...
