tidbits

We've been bouncing around a bunch lately...

The Destination Imagination team kicked off meetings again this year plus one new kid that seems like the perfect addition to the team.  They all hop off the bus on Monday afternoons ready to be creative!  In this picture they are drawing a map of their dream playground to tell us more about their favorite things.

Keaton's school had to postpone the Teddy Bear's Picnic this year and it happened to be that the rescheduled morning was super windy.  They managed to get in their march and play a bunch even though the picnic food was flying off the tables.

The Target costume aisle is always a fun spot with these funny guys.  Although you can't get Aiden near the scary stuff.

A Doughnut workshop with a good friend - does it get any better than warm freshly made donuts!?  We made baked pumpkin donut, fried apple cider and bombolone filled with nutella. The big flavor trick was vanilla bean paste.

Noodle Night!  Keaton's favorite!

Pokemon night at Aiden's school was a Friday night hit.  J was away so I took both boys with me (somewhat unwillingly I'll admit since it was scheduled 7-9pm right at Keaton's bedtime).  Turned out that the kids at Aiden's school are really nice kids and they just gave Keaton some of his very own cards - He was so excited and said "Now I'm a really real Pokemon member!"  Aiden was excited to build what he declared was "a whole new deck" with so many trades.  Then just to be sure that we were glad we came, he won a prize pack of special rare cards in the raffle!

We decorated with these smiley ghosties all around our trees.

This neighborhood is filled with signs that nearly every house filled with kids has been booed!  Our boo arrived after dark one night with a very deliberate knock on the door shortly before 8pm. J eventually went down to double check if it was a package and found this bucket filled with fun stuff.  It was then our job to pass along two more boos, which we did after getting more halloween trinkets to share (which I had to order on amazon because all our stores sell out of fun Halloween stuff in September! no joke!)  Delivering the boo buckets was such a rush for Aiden - he was pumped!

We have our very own jack-o-lantern in da house with another tooth lost!

We made it to the TJs pumpkin palooza for some grooves and yummy pumpkin treat samples.

Some fall color peaking through around here... Can it just be fall forever?!
