Oops - Week 12 and into 13

 Weeks are whizzing by and I am not keeping up very well. We ended last week with a big achievement. The boys both got their first doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. I am proud of them for doing this and keeping our family safe.

We also decided to get a bit more furniture in the house. We may almost be done furnishing the house. If only our things from Fiji would arrive, then we would really be done. At least our reading/music room looks much more inviting and ready for all to enjoy their pursuits.

Week 11

This week was a short one. The election day and teacher work days made it zoom past. That did not stop us from celebrating Daddy’s birthday.

I made an adult and a kid menu!

First time for steaks a long while!

In other news, we are still waiting on our things to come from Fiji. I hope it is happening this month. I will feel a lot more settled then. I also got the boys appointments for their Covid vaccines. Come Christmas time we will all be vaccinated and I can feel a bit better about life.

Speaking of Christmas time, I apparently need to get started on gifts. When did this happen? Why do I feel rushed about Christmas gifts at the beginning of November? This is absurd. Trying to roll with it. Looking forward to a fun winter break where we all can relax.

Halloween

We made it through the first quarter of the school year, just in time for Halloween.

It was a wonderful experience. After three years overseas, the boys got to experience a true Halloween and actually remember it. We got a couple of big pumpkins and carved them before heading out to trick or treat. We even brought Silvio and Walter out for the experience. The neighborhood was hopping and the evening was perfect for walking around outside.
