Weekly Happenings: This past week yielded a spontaneous zoo trip which was so much fun. We also attended the Veterans’ Day assembly at Joseph’s school (I didn’t take any pictures because we were too far back to see him when he performed with his class) which was a really nice tribute to the men and women who have served our country. Other than that, it was a pretty average week.
The Weekly Weather: We had a good mix of cold days and warmer days. Pretty typical for early November around here.
What Paul’s Been Up To: He’s been rather busy with work and school. He also started building some baby gates to install on the stairs. They’ll look like swinging gates.
What Sarah’s Been Up To: Not too much out of the ordinary for me…mainly just keeping the kids happy and healthy.
What Joseph’s Been Up To: He’s got the beginnings of another loose tooth. 🙂 He has been spending a lot of his free time playing games with Paul and entertaining Abigail.
What Abigail’s Been Up To: She’s continuing to work on popping out new teeth. She’s getting rather good at “low-crawling” (hence Paul’s sudden desire to pop out those baby gates, haha). She’s also decided that teething wafers are the bees’ knees (it’s pretty funny to see her chewing them). 🙂
Weekly Happenings: This past week held the end of October and the beginning of November. It’s hard to believe that we’re already at this point of the year. We had a good time on Halloween (even if it did sprinkle on us while trick-or-treating). I took the kids around and Paul stayed home to hand out candy. Joseph had his class field trip to a pumpkin patch, and we squeezed in some fun family time as well.
The Weekly Weather: It’s been all over the place. We had some cool-ish days, followed by a couple of cold ones (Halloween included), followed by some warmer ones. It’s supposed to be more of the same this next week.
What Paul’s Been Up To: He’s been really busy with homework, work, etc. Luckily, he still is able to make time to hang out with the family as well.
What Sarah’s Been Up To: Mainly just my same routine of keeping the kids healthy and happy…with a little housework, cooking, etc. thrown in.
What Joseph’s Been Up To: He enjoyed Halloween (we ran into some friends while trick-or-treating, so that made it even more fun) and had a really great time at his field trip.
What Abigail’s Been Up To: She’s been her happy self as usual. I took a peek into her mouth and discovered that it looks like she’s going to be adding three more teeth in the near future (possibly all at about the same time).
This Week in Pictures:
All gussied-up for church last week.Smiley baby…Sleepy baby…Busy baby…Using the washcloth I use to wipe her mouth after meals as a lovey.Letting his personality shine through.Someone found her shadow.Happy girl.Since it was actually cold, I had to put tights, leggings, and a long-sleeved onesie under her costume to make sure she’s be warm enough to accompany us for trick-or-treating.Joseph and Paul. Paul would lay like that and see if the kids (only the older ones, of course) would come up to him. Then he’s startle them, haha. With the little ones, he’d sit up, take off the mask, and give them the candy so they wouldn’t be too scared.Joseph found a mini-me (our neighbors’ baby).Posing with some of his favorite characters.Painting pumpkins on his field trip.With one of his best buds.On the hay ride.He had such a fun time.Blowing raspberries at Momma (Paul put the gates up to help me keep my heels intact while doing stuff in the kitchen).Taking advantage of the last week of still-light-after-dinner and swinging at the park.She loves the swings.Trying to get her toes.He scored a new hat when we went to the local market day and wanted me to take his picture.
Bonus video: Joseph pushing Abigail on the swing…I love her laugh!
Weekly Happenings: This past week yielded a couple of fun things for Joseph. We went to the trunk-or-treat at his school and he got to participate in his school’s annual fun run (money per lap/flat rate donation fundraiser). I was glad for those things, because they helped to break up what might have otherwise been a pretty ordinary week. We’re looking forward to Halloween and the ushering in of the holiday season.
The Weekly Weather: It was all over this past week. We had cold mornings, warm afternoons, cold days…you name it, haha.
What Paul’s Been Up To: Not too much out of the ordinary for him: work, school…rinse and repeat.
What Sarah’s Been Up To: Not too much out of the ordinary for me, either. Keeping kids healthy and happy!
What Joseph’s Been Up To: As I mentioned before, he had a great time at the school trunk-or-treat. He also did really well at the fun run. Abigail and I came to cheer him on. He ran thirty laps, which equaled out to just shy of two miles!
What Abigail’s Been Up To: Not too much out of the ordinary for little miss this past week. She’s been her sweet self as usual.
This Week in Pictures:

I have to agree!
