A few Parties

A A going away party with old friends.

And a birthday party B had at an escape room and then a massive pokemon trade.

 

Halloween Fun

East clubs put on a huge trick or treating event each year.  LT was going to be there with the swim and photo booths, so I took B.  He absolutely loved it (and was pretty good at the lacrosse booth).  

And the annual halloween parade at his school with his two older friends and his teacher.

 

Randoms from mid/late October

I stubbornly decided to make B's costume again this year.  Despite my best efforts on the cape, my friend who is a true seamstress ended up saving my hood.

Sunday cake making.

My bestie from my Kent days and I go on walks about once a month, but the colors and views were so beautiful last week we decided to take a selfie.  

It was really important to B to put a rose on Elsie's tree this year.  Last Friday we went to the gardens with a rose.

We went on our annual adventure to Glow at the Gardens with our good friends.

And to trunk or treat with another good friend.

 

Family Photos

We haven't gotten our actual family photos back, but we did take a few prior to meeting her.  B has started somewhat of a tradition by falling into mud RIGHT before the photos.  Despite multiple warnings this might happen by all 4 of us, he chose to take the chance and it ended about how we all expected.  While annoying, its also who he is and capturing that during photos is important.  So, muddy shoes is how we rolled.

My incredibly talented former student took our photos and I cannot wait to see them!

 

Children's Museum Field Trip

 

Lately

Bri and I were able to sneak away from work one morning for a date hike.

These boys are very into swimming so we spend a lot of weekends at various pools for meets.

Not pictured is the bat mitzvah we attended before the meet and the party was after the meet, but it was also a blast celebrating my friends child.

B's sweet friend is moving out of state so we have been soaking up time with them.

And a baby shower for one of my closest friends!  She had a huge one, but I was in California, so our closer circle celebrated one night out at dinner.

Family Birthday Party

Cousins, uncles and grandparents birthday party was a blast for B.

 

Hot Chocolate Run

B is really into running 5Ks.  I think hes done 4 or 5 official races and several just with me.  He really wanted to wake up early (before 6) to do the hot chocolate one this year.  It made for a very exhausting birthday weekend, but Brian and I did it with him.  He definitely got a personal best time too!
