Every week one of the families in Colin’s class does laundry of all they napkins and placemats for the lunch kids, and all the hand towels used that week in class. 

This week was Colin’s turn. So he did the laundry. 

Today we went on a nature walk around the grounds of Sarah’s office. We saw a skunk, a skink, a wolf spider, bobcat tracks, a stick bug, a bee hive in a tree, field crickets, a praying mantis, lots of trees and flowers, and other things I’m sure I’ve forgotten. 

We all had a great time. 

The kids put their feet to the ground to raise money for a cover for the outdoor phys-ed space at school. 

It was Halloween so they got to wear fun hats!

It was a long day for our kids. The school does a walkathon in the morning (pictures to come), then a full day of school, then Laura had 2 hrs of dance practice, and we finally got out trick or treating in our new neighborhood. They are ready for bed tonight. 

They both really enjoyed their costumes. Laura chose and made most of her costume as a Pokémon Trainer, and Sarah did an amazing job sewing a Pokémon Charmander costume for Colin. They had a great time together. 

One of the local temples does a big food truck party as a fundraiser.  We had lots of yummy food!  Naturally, the treats were the best part.

I got to watch Laura’s dance class today. She has improved so much. It is great to see her dance. She is a wonderful ballerina.

It’s always useful to make sure you’re comfortable when settling in with a book. 

The kids got to show us their school. Each showed us a work and then showed us around the outside area.
