PTA Pumpkin Carving Night

Teamwork

Statues in Naperville

Builders at the DuPage Children’s Museum

Saws, drills, hammers, clamps – hand tools and wood blocks

The kids made some fabulous creations and had the power of making holes and cutting wood themselves.
Ezri is getting good with a hand saw.
Ivan still needs help to get his nails pounded flat but both like to build.

Old Friends together again

“If we tell them we’re conjoined twins, they won’t be able to separate us.” – Charlotte. We love her so much.

Brownie Scouts at Camp Tecumseh

Ezri and I spent two nights in a cabin at camp Tecumseh with 13 Brownie Scouts.

We rode horses, slid down slides, canoed, climbed walls, did obstacle courses, played in the GaGa ball pit, hiked, made slime, did archery, crafted candles, played board games and are now exhausted!

Despite a brief migraine for me, several camper meltdowns, rain, one scout’s car sickness, holiday weekend traffic and a general lack of sleep – I’m calling it a success!

Here are some photos of the weekend courtesy of Ezri’s Brownie leader.

Fall Leaves

These are from weekend before last. That was before Ivan’s new haircut. Ezri helped rake. Ivan was more of a leap jumper than raker.

Family

This one is from a few months back. But today it made me smile. So, I’m sharing it.
