Here’s more from our October. Maggie’s teacher challenged them to decorate a pumpkin like a book character. Maggie picked Charlotte, the spider from “Charlotte’s Web.” Then, after learning that a classmate had picked the same arachnid, changed to Wilbur.

Adam and I went to a football game at my school.

Halloween didn’t go exactly as expected. Annie had a great day at school.

As a special surprise, Mabel went in and did a craft with Annie and her classmates.

But poor Annie got sick on the bus ride home and wasn’t able to go trick-or-treating.

Thankfully Aunt Amanda stepped in to take the older three out until Dave was able to get out of work.

If the costumes look familiar, you’re right. They were supposed to be last year’s costumes, until we were quarantined due to covid.

Annie is hoping the mailman costume fits next year so that she can try again. The poor girl was really looking forward to trick-or-treating (she doesn’t ever remember going). Thankfully the bug was just a 24-hour thing.

And that wraps up October!
