Since it snowed here this morning, and is dark as I'm typing this at 4:30 in the afternoon, I figure we have moved on to winter. SO here is an update on our gorgeous fall...
The kids started school and love it. We had both of our teacher conferences and were not surprised to learn that Ilon is a delight, very artistic, and could improve by putting a lid on her chatty cathy nature during class time. Gabriel we were very pleased to hear is very tender-hearted and kind with his classmates, and we were pleased not to hear about any of his loud, jumping, acrobatic, devious nature which he apparently saves for us at home.
Our whole family has been baking, cooking experimenting with recipes, it's pretty fun when everyone is involved! Pumpkin donut holes is a family favorite, since 2 Thanksgivings ago when Michelle turned us on to them. I make them EVERY week.
I had a birthday, a great one, on a beautiful Fall day!
Halloween!!
This year we had a sweet little black cat and a mean alligator (the eyes HAVE to be mean, mom).
Ilon and her friend Madison, trick or treating buds.
We went to a great neighborhood that does Halloween up big, decorations, haunted houses, everyone out and about, so fun!
I MADE this costume. Gabe wants to sleep in it every night so it's pretty much a win for me:)
Ilon got her first rose from a boy. Just BECAUSE she said. WHAT?!
Who can blame him? Look at this cutie.
Gabe played on his first soccer team and KILLED it, most of the time. He was equally capable of standing on the field completely confused. He had a great time:)
My little family.
Our garden is pulled up, tilled over and GONE. The biggest harvest we got were mini pumpkins, my favorite! They are all over house, those darling little things.
We built the first snowman of the year and have dusted off our snowboots and snowpants. Aaron is up to his ears in school, lots on his plate and plowing through. We are excited to plan for the holidays!
