a date with our little man

 It started with a big hug at the bus stop

little walk up the hill

grab  a suitcase and off we go

First stop lunch

British Pantry with super friend Martha

Home to  relax and then

Then a little concoction of his own

Bubble bath
(  all three favorite towels because " I am much bigger now")

Loves to sleep in the rec room, on the floor by the wood stove
Listening to his ipad...stories of long ago

sleep.

Early morning
Waffles on the same "table" where he made his concoction

Then we file into Bella and off to school.
Singing:  "Genesis Exodus Leviticus"    up to
Lamentations...  still have some memory work to do

Only one wrong turn ( I can honestly blame GPS ) 

Arrived in plenty of time
A half day at school and then the first of his birthday party celebrations

And another tradition for the year- a sleep over at Grammy's , the right before his birthday so his parents can decorate for the party. 

We live an exciting life

Only once a year

 and only  in October

Preparing goodie bags

Here is what happened 2021 

Getting fun bags from the dollar store and adding at least 4 pieces of candy

This is the gospel message I found for this year... a sweet and true story

Ready, inside and out... photos from previous years give entertainment and smiles to this years visitors

Robin is always my first visitor.   She was full of sparkle and loved it

One young gal asked if it was legal to take her picture.  I promised not to post it on the internet, so she and her friends posed and I can post it on my door next year.

                              No identity here.... 

                                                             or here ......

But you might notice the winter blooming camellia...always beautiful in October 

.. many parents in costume and just a polite fun group ...152 total 

The weather was ideal.. a little cold, but dry and I think everyone was just excited to be outside again.   

Favorite comment:   Do we get extra if we have been vaccinated?
