A Few October Happenings

Lillian and her girlfriends at recess.

I caught the boys watching the girls dance in the living room!

Joe being Joe - he created an elephant, and his smile is too cute.

 

Crystal Ball

 The St. Anne's Crystal Ball was at the Buffalo Rose in Golden this year.  While Mike and I weren't attending, we still wanted to be part of the action.  We met the Kelley's and Rondinelli's at my parents' house for a few snacks and drinks beforehand.  My parents were out of town, so I felt like a teenager partying at their parents house - but I swear I had permission!

Outdoor Lab

Oh man, this was a hard week for mom!  Lillian left (confidently and with a huge smile on her face, I might add) for Outdoor Lab on Monday, with new friends, at a new school and she wasn't allowed to bring her watch with her.  We had no contact until we picked her back up on Wednesday evening.  Of course, I worried a little bit about her, but it was unnecessary because she had a blast, learned a ton and formed amazing friendships with her friends and teachers! Joseph and I picked her up right after soccer practice and they were so happy to be reunited.  She was given Thursday off from school so we met Daddy for lunch for a little catch up time.  What an amazing experience for her!
