Happy Halloween!

Halloween is always a fun time of year with filled with costumes, parties and trick-or-treating! This year Ben was a ninja, Ri was a witch and Nate was a grim reaper with an emoji head. :)

Riley's Halloween party for her soccer team

Ben was the only one that wanted to go to the pumpkin patch this year - he and Mesh got pumpkins for the family.

Not a Halloween costume - Nate got glasses for the first time. He only wears them in class. Looking good Nater!

Mom in Suncadia for a few days for a work conference - beautiful.

Party with their before school program they attend

More pumpkins - note the one throwing up!

Ben's class party

I couldn't attend Riley's class party so I had lunch with her at school. 

Hosea and Iyer kids

October Happenings

Fall is here! Here are some of the things we've been up to so far in October.

Crazy hair day at elementary school

All 5 of us read from this same copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - my favorite HP book! 

Hawk-a-thon walkathon at Ri and Ben's school.

Don't mess with this strong girl!

Below is a series of pictures showing our Friday night:

6:15pm: Ri, Ben and I drop off Nate and a friend at 6th grade activity night at the community center - Nate didn't appreciate the picture. ;)

6:40pm: Ri, Ben and I park in the library underground lot and head to a Halloween party at the YMCA. We note the sign that says the library parking lot locks 10 minutes after the library closes. At the time it was 40 minutes after the library closed so I think to myself-they must be remaining open tonight for overflow parking for the Y party.

8:05pm: Well, I was wrong.  There is my car locked up back there!  The Y staff and police were very nice but couldn't get us in.  The car remained lock up over night. 

8:20pm: Here we are walking home. Ramesh was at work but luckily we had an extra car at home because we had to get home and get Nate by 9pm.  Next Friday we are staying home! lol

Time for football!

ISC night at the Sounders!
