I had a surprise while on a teleconference on Friday afternoon. I’ve had a cat come by and some birds, but I did not expect family members on the roof!

Colin did an art project for school this week. It was fun and messy.

Helping a friend in Dallas with a class project. We took Flat Stanley for a bicycle ride to the beach boxes and for a view of the city over the bay.

Monday was a lovely day for fort building.

Laura’s second baking “assignment” was pound cake. It turned out beautifully – moist and flavourful. She’s a natural!

After doing 45min of rolling around the neighborhood we came home and Colin decided it would be fun to push Laura around.

Laura worked hard on a puzzle of London. Colin helped as he passed by.

Colin has been asking for a fondue night for a while. We had cheese fondue to start, broth fondue for our main, then chocolate fondue for dessert. It makes for a long meal, but it was fun and tasty!

The kids really wanted to go camping for a couple of nights, so we set up the tent and had 2 nights sleeping out in the backyard. We even had supper outside and roasted marshmallows on the BBQ.

Now that the autumn time change has happened its great for star gazing in the evening. We got a great look at the full moon as well as Orion’s Belt and Sirius.
