Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in Pullman again this year. As always, it is great being together.

Kieron drove the first half of the way there and Avery drove the second half.

Halloween

October was a busy month with lots of Halloween festivities. Despite lots of beautiful days, it poured during trick-or-treating. Fortunately Layla and her friends were all dressed warmly in zoo animal onesies, but they got a little soggy! Kieron went to a friends house, put together a last minute costume and also trick-or-treated but I didn’t get any pictures. He was probably the tallest one out there, but I’m glad he had fun too!

Bob Ross, Benson Boone, Formula 1 Driver, Minion & Harry Potter

Avery sent a pic of himself in his costume he threw together for a party. He’s a ski bum.

Brave moms smiling in the atmospheric river!

We went to our friends annual Halloween party. The theme this year was “In the Headlines.” We went as Amelia Earhart and D.B. Cooper.

Halloween Bunco!

Some friends and I went to a Halloween Drag Show at Sigillo. We had a Barbie group and a Care Bear group.

 

Miss Texas, 1987 had some great routines!

Dr. Barbie, listening to Space Barbie’s heart

Weird Barbie, fully into character!     

Yajaira wrote prescriptions for some little girls who were awestruck by our group. They said sweet things like “you’re amazing!”

These little girls wanted their picture with us!

October

Here’s what we were up to in October. Avery came back for a couple visits!





Family weekend at Western. It was the first time Kieron, Silas and Layla got to see where Avery is living.






Avery’s Jolly Roger sign came down so they tried a cheer stunt to reach and put it back up.

Benson Boone & Ice Cube

We took our middles to a couple of concerts this fall. My girlfriends and I got tickets to Benson Boone at Climate Pledge. It was Silas, a couple younger boys and a few middle school girls his age. Benny puts on a fantastic show and we all had a great time!

We got Kieron tickets to see his favorite rapper, Ice Cube, for his birthday, so he and Jonathan went to the show together. He played all his hits and then some!
