Halloween 2018 in the books! Today was the best Halloween weather we’ve had in a very long time! It was in the 50s, clear sky, no rain or snow! Dave and I went to the school for the kids parties. For some reason Ajax refused to wear his costume for the parade, but proudly wore his soccer jersey. Noomi loved wearing her costume, especially the wig.
We had a big pot of chili for dinner, grandma and grandpa Gordy came over, and we had an excellent night. While the grandparents passed out candy, Dave and I took the kids through both neighborhoods with Husker. This was the first year Noomi was up for both neighborhoods and she did great. Husk also did great, though he did get concerned every time the kids went up to a house and he couldn’t see them.
Husker also graduated from his 2 week puppy school in Haslett! We have one final family class on Saturday. They said he was a very smart dog, loved to work, and was quick to pick things up! We’re all very proud lol.
Backing up a bit, last weekend was also trick or treating in town and we had Aunt Theresa, Grandma Dara (newly retired!), and little Vivian over to stay the night on Friday. We also hit up the PTSA Fall Festival Friday night at the kids school which also featured a book fair (win win). On Saturday, for the actual trick/treating, Aunt Lisa and Doug also came over. It was a great day! Oh we also hit up the pumpkin patch. This year, Ajax hollowed out both pumpkins on his own and each kid carved their own pumpkin!
Both kids have wrapped up soccer. Though of course I had the end dates all messed up. I rushed home from work, rounded up Noomi and her soccer stuff, zipped her to the fields the whole time congratulating myself that we’d only be 7 minutes late to practice, only to find the fields completely empty. Apparently soccer had ended the week before. Parent fail!
On the home front, Dave and I completely re-did both kids’ bedrooms! We painted, ordered/assembled new furniture, and even ordered artwork! It involved two trips to Ikea and lots of swearing as Dave put things together.
We also recently learned that they are surveying the land behind us again and this time, really plan on breaking ground sometime next year. Looks like we’ll have new neighbors in the near future.
I should also throw in, that Ajax had a sleepover with two of his good friends. I think they got about 4 hours of sleep. We hit up the Firefighter’s breakfast in town afterwards. It was a great time. Oh I was also able to take the day off and volunteer at the school for the Fun Run (the PTSA’s only fundraiser).
