giving back

One of the most important things for me as a parents is to make sure that my children understand how fortunate we are and that there are other people in the world who are less fortunate.  Ocasios Karate school raises money through out the year to be able to out together 450 baskets of turkey dinners for those in need.  Tonight we went to the Haverhill Studio and helped to put together the baskets.  I was a very proud mommy, as you can see in the pictures the baskets we pretty heavy and Brady wanted to do it all by himself and he went through the line as many times as he could until all the baskets were put together.  Cameron although he couldn't carry them he pushed the tray through the assembly line and worked hard too.

Halloween 2011

Although we had a snow storm a few days before Halloween we managed to have a Trick-or-treat.  The weather actually wasn't too cold. Brady and Cameron went as Mario and Luigi (the Mario Brothers) and Liam was a pumpkin.  I figure I better get in all the cute costumes while I can because before I know it, Liam's going to want to choose his own costume.
