Can’t write about the start of school without highlighting the whole group in a picture!

Third Grade
Third grader Newbie steps out.
She still looks super young in this picture. Last trimester conferences came recently and while her teacher didn’t outright say she’s one of his favorites, the praise he heaped on both her intelligence and demeanor showed she’s probably one of his favorites.

Santa Babies
Not a lot of great pictures over the last few months sadly. I guess that’s what happens when we’re so busy.
Redflare took the kids out to a ‘dinner with Santa’ event at the local fire station. They loved it.
The food wasn’t overly impressive in Newbie’s eyes, and Thunderer opted to just have a cookie. :p
Food wasn’t the main reason to go though, so it works.

Halloween
We’re getting there! Halloween pictures are a go!
If you can’t tell, Superman is Thanos, I’m Gandalf, TJ is Spiderman, Newbie is a sloth, Little Miss is a dark fairy/angel, and Thunderer is a “puppy” (Scooby Doo was the only way we could pull that one off.)
TJ went and coordinated costumes with his girlfriend too. She went as Silk.

Further Play
Sometimes the pictures speak for themselves and sharing cute moments of the kids at play is really all that’s needed. I think this is one of those times.

Halloween Supplies
It’s tradition now that we go out to the local pumpkin patch and let the kids pick out their pumpkins.
It’s also tradition to be sure to grab a picture of everybody on top of a haybale while we’re there.
We also decided to catch a picture of ourselves. A nice way to update our fall facebook profile picture.
Once everything was picked out it was time to play a little bit before heading back. The teens decided to have a contest and see who could reach the farthers up a halbale after a running start.
It didn’t end as was expected.
Meanwhile, Newbie was quite fearful of the prospects of Thunderer driving…

Cold Play
I remember this October day pretty well. It was a lot colder than expected so we didn’t stay out long at all, even though they were bundled.
The swings didn’t provide enough shelter to the wind so they went to the other equipment.
Any outside time is better than none though.
Especially if these kinds of smiles are the reward.
