Putnam & Dutchess Weekly Events 9/29 – 10/5
My two year olds second day of school this week was a huge hit again! My 6 year old is driving my nuts talking about Halloween costumes already! I refuse to look until October, which is NEXT week! I love fall in the Northeast though and I hope everyone is getting out to enjoy the beautiful weather we have been having!
