Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everybody! Yes, I decided to dress up the pups. I found these super cute costumes at Target and was so excited to put them on Moose & Maui. But. . . they turned out to be waaaay too big and the store didn't have any smaller sizes left. So after much running around trying to find the smaller size, I settled for the big size for their halloween photo shoot. The costumes are so big that they won't be able to wear them tomorrow because they can't walk in them, but it was fun to snap some pics and laugh at how cute they were. For those of you who have tried to take good pictures of active dogs, you know its hard. . .well. ..trying to get good photos of two silly pups with costumes on is even harder!! :-)Here's what I came up with. . .
Maui is a Ladybug and Moose is a Chicken :-)


My little bug. . she looks very nervous, but cute!


Moosie the Chicken . . he was not happy about the hat :-)

Head of the Charles + Newburyport

This past weekend, Alex and I went to the Head of the Charles. For those of you who don't know, the HOC is a huge regatta in Boston that happens every October. Rowers from all over the world come to compete and take on the infamous Charles River. I try to go every year, but this year I had extra incentive, as my community rowing association in Simsbury had two boats competing! GO FVRA! :-) Anyway, I drove up to Alex's house in Hamstead NH first and we enjoying spending Saturday at the HOC and Sunday in Newburyport, MA. Newburyport reminds me of Essex, CT. . .it is so quaint and fun! The pictures of this weekend turned out to be a series of Alex shots and boats from a distance :-) (I didn't have a long lense with me this time, so I don't have any crew action shots. .too bad!!)Enjoy!!
