It’s officially Fall. The leaves are beginning to turn, the weather is cooler and rainy and generally overcast. Hello Fall.
The kids are doing well in school. Ajax’s teacher said he was a pleasure to have in class, though she noted that sometimes he was kinda of a glass half full type of kid. Noomi is enjoying preschool immensely and had her first field trip last week to the Harris Nature Center. She rode the school bus and learned about bugs.
On Saturday, I took the kids running to get a few things and then we headed to Brighton for Sebastian’s 9th birthday party. Dave had to stay home with a migraine unfortunately, but the kids had a great time. The kids ran wild and had a blast with the cousins and I had to practically drag Ajax home who was intent on helping put together a massive Lego unit.
On Sunday, I went grocery shopping in the morning and in the afternoon we took the kids to a Civil War re-enactment in Williamston. At first the kids were shy, but soon enough they were trying out all the old fashioned toys. We watched some soldiers and the kids weren’t big fans of the loud bangs when they fired the rifles, but overall pretty entertaining.
We spent the rest of the day making Halloween decorations and paper airplanes. Oh, I also bought Noomi’s costume. She insisted on being a monkey so that’s what I got her. At dinner, however, she declared she was going to be a witch. Darn kids. Ajax doesn’t know what he wants to be and keeps joking that he wants to be an acorn. I pointed out that I wasn’t the best seamstress and whatever I made would only make him look like a poo. He thought that was hilarious. I believe he went with an acorn because I vetoed all his other costume choices at the store. All he picked out were scary- adult masks and I told him no to every one.
Here are some spirit week photos – last week was Homecoming in our small town. And our tomato harvest from the garden, which is now cooking down into some awesome bacon tomato soup.
