The rest of October

 Here are some of the pictures from the past few weeks. 

We wrapped up cross-country and jumped right in to basketball season. Volleyball finished last Saturday. And we had a day off of school last week which meant lots of cousin time to hang out, drink caramel macchiatos, and carve pumpkins.

I'm not sure when they all decided they liked coffee drinks, but with enough milk, caramel, and whipped cream, it's hard to not like them!

I'm learned to crochet amigurumi patterns...this little pumpkin is my first project!

It's definitely getting colder outside...we find the cats curled up in the funniest places to stay warm!

Elias, Owen, and Lydia...hard at work!

The finished jack-o-lanterns

A little of this and a little of that

 The past few weeks have passed with the regular routines of the first month of school. Annaliese has had cross-country every day. Haleigh has had a volleyball game every Saturday and Lydia has fit in a playdate or two with friends. 

They had the jog-a-thon at school a few weeks ago. They all had different time slots, so I spent most of the day at the track and was able to run quite a few laps with them. Here's a few pictures from the past few weeks, in no particular order.
