Carve it up

Spooky guests

We had a lot of fun de-lousing the kids tonight.

Studious

Boo-yeah!

Christmas shopping for everyone but the kids done, wrapped, and shipped. Two days before Halloween. Now THAT is scary!

Pumpkin Patch

Year #7 at the church pumpkin patch.

Dinosaur museum

Evelyn picked Natural History for our Saturday morning. It was delightful to see favorite old exhibits and movies with bigger kids. Lots of fun.

Book Club

We tried Glory Days with Doris and Meleia. More TVs than a Best Buy, but the food was better than expected. Evelyn picked the sundae for dessert, while Max went with the Shark Attack, a mix your own Shirley Temple with the grenadine in a shark. Thrilling!

The high school football players next to us were entranced by the shark. Fair enough, as Doris and I couldn't stop watching the volume of food they consumed.

Love notes

Delightful to come home to find a heart rock from Max and a flower arrangement from Evelyn. It is nice to be loved!

Some things

Some things, like giant boxes, never get old.

Sister Bear

Today is dress like your favorite book character day. Sister bear picked Sister Bear. She was darling and so excited!

Max played it low-key with a Ravenclaw t-shirt. He refused the chance to take a picture.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (cards)
