Fast Forward

Well September and October flew by. It seems we had commitments every weekend with no time to catch our breath or blog! So, here are random photos to explain what we've been up to the past few months.

We visited Oktoberfest in our city. We had heard great things and met some of Lucian's family there one night. The kids had fun and so did we. We'll definitely do it again next year.

We met friends at the zoo

 We took Frida on some urban adventures

I completed a 10K!

And Kyle is starting to master #2 on the potty! He is motivated by hot wheels, so while we may blow his college fund by the time this is over, I am not longer washing poopy underwear! I think it's a win win.

Claire is 6!

Better late than never, right? I started this post back in Spetember. It's now November, so let's see what happened.

This little lady turned 6 years old this month. Her birthday was during the week at school, so we sent rice krispy treats for the class. We had a family celebration at the house with cake and presents.

 

Claire was super excited to receive clothes this year. She also got some fashion jewelry and a baby doll carrier, which she had her eye on at Target. She also kind of got a puppy, whom she adores. 

We love our sweet, silly, opinionated, bright and caring young lady.

Pumpkin Farm

Trying out a new look for the blog. Here goes... I got to chaperone Kyle's class field trip to the pumpkin farm. Unfortunately the day was quite cold with rain, but they had plenty of sheltered activities for the kids. He and I really enjoyed our time together.

He loves to ride the bus. I sat with him.

He touched a bunny, snake and chicken.

We took a tractor hay ride and saw the muddy pumpkin field, but picked our pumpkin from a bin near the barn.

They fed the goats

And we rode a "train" that looked like Thomas. 

He napped well that afternoon:) It can feel hectic to fit stuff in like this while working, but I feel really fortunate to have had the opportunity to go. He's growing so fast!
