One of the three pre Halloween parties

This was the going home present. One enormous cake per child and a big pumpkin full of sweets. This was after a ton of chocolate and sweets at the actual party. so wrong parents here don't realize how insane this is. 

Gotta pick a pocket or two

The next artful dodger. On our way to Maths museum! 

First photo of halloween

Maaany more to come. This was on the way to the school Halloween party - ruby as tinker bell and Eben as the gruffalo. In front of the house next door decked in its hallows glory. 

And now in color

Halloween mani pedi....(not me)

We prepared a few jack o lanterns. Not bad!!!

Though Al's was better. He had a better knife..

Note to self. Jack o lanterns don't last more than a few days before they goo all over your stuff

Just want to take a moment to show off this addition to the pre-work morning routine. 

And Janet's handiwork also

And to think we used to turn off our lights in the uk and pretend not to be in!! 

How young does Apple recruit

Ruby is quite the designer. Here is her paper re-creation of a laptop.

No photos of they themselves in the flesh sorry gillian and tom! but a few nice ones of the kids thanks to tom's camera. 

It may be time to cut eben's hair

BAM

BAM is one of the best arts orgs in NYC. I organized a table of work people at a gala dinner they had which turned out really well and was followed by opening night of Anna Nicole - an opera brought over from the royal court. It was amazing I loved it. I think everyone else did even if they were checking their phones through the speeches

Beautiful room for the dinner
