End of September

I can't believe it is almost October.  I have been working a lot this month to make up for Africa (and also my partner had surgery).  Alex doesn't take many pictures, but I have a few!
   
Harper was playing at a friend's house last weekend and I had brought Lu with me to pick her up.  We ended up stopping at Amelie's on the way home and had to bring Lu inside in a backpack.
      
Last Friday night, we had movie night at Ethan's school.  Harper ran around with the older siblings and old friends.
    
    
     
Alex and Emily took the kids rock climbing.
    
     
We went to August's welcome shower this weekend.  It was so nice to see everyone.
    
   
   
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
     
     
    
       
    
     
     
Harper had a soccer game.
      
Lulu night time!
    
It is finally cool enough to sit outside with the fire.

Happenings

 We have been getting back into the groove of things.  Not too busy, not bored.  We are ready for fall temperatures as it has been too hot!
      
Harper had an awards ceremony with Scouts.
      
Cheese plate!
    
Harper used her own money to buy this outfit for Lu.  Lu would have rather Harper saved her money.
     
Alex plays basketball with a friend on weekends and brought Harper along to play with friends.
   
We went to the Apple Festival in Hendersonville last weekend.  It poured when we had just arrived so we bought ponchos.  Luckily, the rain didn't last.
    
   
   
   
   
It started to pour again so we dipped inside a restaurant for dinner.
    
It had cleared by the time we had finished. 
   
   
   
    
   
    
Ice cream machine!
   
   
   
   
   
   
Homework stinks!
   
   
Harper had her school photos.
   
   
   
Lu will snuggle for five minutes then head out.
   
We checked out Mecktoberfest this weekend.
     
    
   
   
We had an ice cream treat afterwards!
      
Harper fed the geese in our neighborhood.
     
    
Soccer is back!  Harper's team won their first game.
   
   
   
   
     
Saturday night board games!
   
I took the kids to Windy Hill Apple Orchard with my cousins on Sunday.  I wish it had been seventy degrees instead of ninety.
