{Daph + Fitz “reading” together // Fitz caught a cold which turned into a double ear infection // it was straight into the bath with these two after all that digging in the dirt!}
{I was able to get away for a long weekend in Seabrook – my favorite place! – with some girlfriends // Eloise reading a “secret message” letter from a friend with a (blue light) Spy Pen I brought her back from my trip // for Storytime Pumpkins at school, Eloise chose the book character “Eloise” and her pumpkin was SO cute!}
{the girls had a Fall Dance at school last week + we all had so much fun! // Daphne had her last soccer practice + scrimmage // Fitz playing dress-up + Daph taught him how to “Trick-or-Treat”!}
{the entire family on Halloween (I don’t know how to un-crop Aaron’s head 😂) // Fitz the Minion + Mama at the Halloween parade – he liked watching the drum line play but it was pretty loud! // Daph and her friend with their T-Rexes}
Phew! It seems like October had a lot going on as we really got into the rhythm of school, work + activities, and I guess it shows since I took almost no photos.
We had a hot + smoky first part of the month which kept us from being outside much. And then this last week or so, we had a super fast fall and now it feels like winter already. Rain, grey + dark!
I took a long weekend away with some of my closest girlfriends + we headed out to Seabrook kid-free! We had some rain + some sun + the company was so lovely. I hadn’t been away from the kids for so long – the girls since Fitz as born but never away from Fitz before! – so I was a little nervous. And Aaron held down the fort with all 3 kids on his own.
Mimi joined us last weekend as we celebrated Halloween! (We were having so much fun I didn’t manage to take a single picture of her and the kids… sorry Mom!)
As much as I love the “holiday season” part of me is just not ready yet. But it’s fast approaching, so I guess we’ve got to jump on board!
Happy November!
