Halloween is a big favorite in the Rose house. This year Kaya got to have two Halloweens: one at school and one at home (mainly because the school had a very strict list of costume requirements and we needed something warm and durable).  At school, she went as a little monster.

And at home, we did an Alice in Wonderland theme.  Kaya liked trick or treating, although she missed some of the point and thought it was very fun to take candy out of her bag and give it to people when they opened the front door.  Nevertheless, we have enough candy at home to make us sick for a month.  Twizzler anyone?

Just some early morning reading at the Rose house.

Nothing better than some grilled burgers to close out an awesome weekend of birthday parties, state fair midway games and catching up on sleep. Thanks Tommy!

This past week, the Testive team descended on Durham for the week.  Gooooo testive!

My new motivation technique. That orange bar has a long way to go.

It’s Halloween at the Rose house!

Kaya finally fits into her MIT onesie. Of course she won’t stay still for a picture.

I can barely manage to comb Kaya’s hair once a day. Look how she came home from daycare today! I can’t even do this to a doll, very well a squirming toddler.

Marty got to eat lots of baby reject food over the last couple of days. Hope his stomach held up for the ride home.
