November

 

We are still keeping our distance, so a lot of school, a lot of playing at home and a lot of socially distanced outdoors, like hiking. Trying to make the best of it!

Halloween

Our neighborhood did a 6’ trick or treat this year so everyone could participate in handing out and collecting candy safely. Everyone agreed it was the best Halloween ever and we plan to always hang out at the ends of our driveways for Halloween going forward. It was fun to see everyone come together to make a great night for the neighborhood kids and have a great time in the process!

October

We can all attest to the fact that continuing a socially distanced lifestyle made it a challenging fall. Schooling was difficult, pandemic was still raging, and, to be honest, I wasn’t much in a photographing/blog posting mood. I have known for a while that it was time to move the blog to a new platform. Blogger wasn't doing it for me anymore, and the kids have outgrown dribbles, nibbles and scribbles. I didn’t know where to move the blog, and after trying a couple times to set things up on a new platform and deciding it wasn't the right one, things hit a standstill and I gave up.

But I'm back on track, now. It's a new year and we are moving forward. Rather than backdate these posts, pretending I was on top of blogging, I'm just going to honestly post now, what we were doing months ago. So here is the first of a series of back posts to catch us up.

Socially distanced post-birthday walk with friends, downtown excursion, and a visit to Gram and Grumpy’s complete with decorate your own Halloween doughnuts and the first snow of the season!

Happy 9th Birthday!

Happy 9th Birthday!! It's hard to believe it has been 9 years since you came into this world and made us parents. It's been an amazing journey, watching you grow and change. You are an amazing older sister, always looking out and caring for your siblings. You are talented, confident and generous. We can't wait to see what you accomplish in your last year of single digits!

9th birthdays start with singing happy birthdays, strawberries, waffles and whipped cream. 

Then some help opening the present at the end of a scavenger hunt made my LittleL.G.

During her online Taekwondo class LittleL.G. had the honor of kicking her for her birthday. 

Due to the wind and rain from yesterday, we had more leaves in our yard than we've ever had- enough for jumping in leaf piles!

The day ended with Moe's, presents, and cake!

Happy, Happy Birthday, MiniM.E.!
