Nov ’22: The Thanksgiving

Hard to not think about Thanksgiving in any year without also thinking about food. The corn casseroles, all ready to go in the oven. We’re hosting a big group, so need to be prepared!

And the aforementioned “big group”…

That’s right, I just added a new category/tag as of this post too. Welcome to “Koodoo” on the far left next to Little Miss!

Hey look, a rare picture with me in it!

Enough group pictures! Time to start digging in.

Okay fine, one last group picture, this time off TJ’s phone.

Oct ’22: Halloween Concluded

Fox matched with TJ’s hunter to go has a deer while Thunderer joins the fray as a princess.

Oddly enough, a prop swap for the brothers actually turns out pretty well.

Suddenly we get a lumberjack and a horror movie guy.

We were losing daylight pretty quickly and with my hands full of baby I didn’t manage to get many more pictures. At least any more that I felt were blog worthy.

At the Pumpkin Patch

The mood at the patch was a little muted because Redflare and the Smols weren’t there with us, but we made the best of things, posing for some pictures on the haybales.

Even if perhaps a couple of them were a little nervous to be at the top of one.

It was also strange not having Little Miss along for the trip, but she was away at her first year of college.

College Moving Crew

With goodbyes said and the van packed it was time to set out on the two hour drive.

Now, the instructions very clearly said everyone was supposed to park at a certain spot on the street near her dorm and unload quickly into bins and then the driver was to go park somewhere and return to help as desired.

Well, when we got there the space was super limited on where to park per the exact address where we were supposed to park, so after circling the block twice I said heck with it and found the closest parking garage and parked right then.

So we first had to trek to her dorm and get the big bins they were sharing with everyone for move day and then walk them back to the van and fill them… and then walk them back.

This actually seemed to work out in our favor as then we all stuck together easily and there was no ‘hey, where can we meet back up’ conversations.

We were right on time for her allotted move in time but her future roommate was nowhere to be found. That was a nice bonus as it let her claim the side of the room she wanted.

The Walk

With cat poses scheduled now for out in May (just when the next Caturday days were available) let’s catch the group doing a dramatic walk down the street:

Of course, to get to that point they needed to insert their chaotic energy walking down the street:

Eldest Birthday

And now, for some reason, we’re back to June 1. Not sure why the pictures from last summer got out of whack, but they didn’t get too disorganized so I’ll let it slide.

The weird thing here is that he had to come to the house to celebrate his birthday, since as has been previously posted, he moved out a little over a year ago as of this posting.
