Edmond had a fun run fundraiser at school. He ran fifteen times around the track! One of the best runners in his class. I was proud. He and Parker ran together the whole time.
It's always so weird for me when I find my kids sleeping somewhere that's not their bed. Scarlett fell asleep on the couch wearing her spooky Halloween shirt. She loves the spiders on it.
Edmond had a turn taking the class pet home. He's a stuffed dog named "Blackie." we read Blackie at story that night.
We threw a shower for my Sister-in-law who had a baby boy. I made this little striped penant to go around the table.
I also made
these paper circle fans. I used wrapping paper to make the dragonfly one, and an old dictionary to make the ones with text on them.
Edmond's friend had a birthday party with one of those water slide bounce houses. The funnest thing ever.
A bunch of the kids at the party were standing around whining about being cold at one point. It was a proud Mama moment for me when I looked over at my kids and saw that they weren't complaining about the cold, they simply layed down on the cement to get warm. They're no rookies.

My Edmond at recess.
My Charlie at the park. He likes to walk with his hands in his pockets. When I drop him off to preschool he doesn't even look at me as he yells "Bye Mom!" and runs off to join his friends. It makes me feel a little sad that he doesn't seem to need me, but I'm glad he's independent.

B took the boys fishing at the pond. They caught a fish.
After soccer practice one day B took Edmond to get an icecream cone at McDonalds. It was some special one-on-one time for them.
