Halloween 2020
- There were about 30% of our neighbors with lights out, not participating.
- About 20% of neighbors had a bowl or baggies setting out.
- The remaining 50% passed out candy as usual.
- 100% of kids had FUN and collected way too much candy.

Basketball Begins
- Paul played his first ever game of basketball!
- He made FOUR baskets.
- Eight points for his team.
- The final score was 18 to 13 and it was SO fun to watch them play.
.
Pumpkin Pancake Contest
- I made two different kinds to see which was better.
- The Trader Joe’s brand was more work but tasted better.
- The Birchbenders only required water, and were easier to make, but I didn’t think they were as good.
- My kids loved them both!

The Tale of Two Georges
George and I finished reading this ‘George Washington’ biography together and now George wishes his middle name was Washington. We have so much admiration and respect for our first president. He was a true patriot who worked tirelessly to create, protect, and lead the United States of America.
Did you know George Washington decided the leader of our country should be called “The President of the United States?” (or “Mr. President” for short)

It’s beginning to look at lot like Christmas
- We put up our Christmas tree and hung lights outside.
- The Christmas tree and lights bring us JOY and we need more JOY this year!

Back to the Classroom
- All four boys are in school now (two days a week).
- While they were in school, I worked on earning my Minnesota teaching license and applied to be a substitute teacher in their schools.
- My first day was teaching 7th grade language arts and I LOVED getting to teach George and lots of his friends.
- I was a little nervous about teaching middle school, but the kids were TRULY “Minnesota nice” and I can’t wait to do it again.
