More Obama Election Night Celebration!

This from later in the night, after I headed home. But you have to check this out...
One of the nearby nighclubs put their speakers up on the roof and blasted Journey. And everyone in the streets started dancing and singing along:

the scene last night

Happy Halloween!

Woo hoo!

I was sick and quarantined for most of the AmeriCorps retreat. But I felt a little better the next morning, so I had to get on that rope swing.
Look! I'm upside down!

Curious Xander

Xander wore his costume to the pumpkin patch this weekend.  He could've cared less about the pumpkins, water pump, maize maze, or farm animals because they have tractors there.

Then he got too hot, stripped off the jacket, and rolled in the straw.

And then went back to the tractor.  Check out those monkey feet!

Pumpkin Harvest in the Backyard

A couple weeks back Xander and Steve harvested this year's pumpkins.  They were small, so Xander got to use his "big boy" wheelbarrow to surrey them to the patio.

Visit from Sophie

The giggle machine came over the other night, put on my fairy wings and ran all over the house.
