catching up

 And in the blink of an eye, October is already half over. 

We had a neighbor die in the beginning of the month and I still just feel so shocked and saddened by it. Life truly is so short. 

And life goes on. These guys are growing up fast. August will be 4 at the end of the month, 😭

Making a mask like a character we read about in one of our library  books.

Sharing an apple back and forth, lol

Fire truck fun

All summer spent growing these tiny beets, roasted them up, and meh. No one really likes beets except for me, so I probably won't grow them again next year. 

Sandbox fun, any room for a boy and some sand in there??!

She can now climb the slide

Reading with daddy

Went on our annual book club girl's getaway! With Covid we just went to a friend's parents house in Bay City and had a sleepover in their basement, and one day shopping and eating in the city, so nice. And gorgeous weather. 

Maybe someday we can go away for 2 nights, but most of us still have little ones so that's a ways away. 

This boy's hair is getting so curly, I love it! I'm letting it grow to see what happens. This was the morning after a bath so it was super curly. 

Little corkscrew curls!

Horsey ride

Honey Garlic Chicken stirfry, I made this nearly every week, it is delicious!
