Here are a few things that happened in October, according to my phone. Crew settled right in to the kindergarten routine and he loved seeing so many friends from church at school. Sometimes we had picnics on early-out Wednesdays. Finn and I walked over to pick him up every day…
The boys think that the best part of October is having reasons to dress up in their costumes multiple times. First up was Blake and Nash’s Halloween piano recital. Next was the kindergarten parade. Finn had a party in preschool. Back at the elementary school, they had “Fall Activity Day.”…
Crew was assigned the letter “L” for his Kindergarten Letter Fashion Show. We crafted a vest decorated with lots of things that start with the letter L. Licorice, ladder, ladybug, Lego, leaf, lighthouse and lemon. The kindergartners paraded one by one to show off their apparel for the parents. We…
The Fun Run is always a highly anticipated event. The school revs the students up all week with cheers, class colors and fundraiser competitions. Crew was so excited to officially join the lineup after cheering his brothers on for so many years. Blake and Nash both ended up on the…
We hit September head on with school and activities. It was rare to not be running around each evening, but I loved catching an occasional golden hour at the end of our street. We got roped into buying books at the back-to-school book fair like always. With Finn away at…

As usual, much of our on-the-go activities ended up on my phone camera roll. Finn tagged along for many baseball games and practices. Blake did an overnight sleep study to see if his large tonsils were obstructing his sleep and needed to be removed. Thankfully, the results determined he wouldn’t…
Nash had the very important role of Egret #3 in the second grade musical, Once Upon a Lily Pad. Second graders sure are cute. Of course I made Nash pose in his egret costume (and too small baseball pants). Meanwhile, Finn rolled down the grassy hill over and over. Crew…
The end of the school year is busier than December with all of the projects, parties and performances so I like to call it Maycember. Nash did a report on Albert Einstein. Blake had a strings performance. He carried that cello back and forth to school twice a week in…
It still amazes me that we can can sit outside and eat ice cream cones during the winter. Crew had an incentive program at preschool that we rewarded with an ice cream date every few months. Sometimes Finn got to tagalong too. “Wear a winter apparel item day” at preschool…
