Halloween

School book parade and exhaustion

Owen and I didn't last long on the couch together!

10-0

We had our last regular season game tonight.  We are undefeated!!!  Madelyn has gotten to play with such a fun group of girls!

Owen and his Mohawk

Could Owen's mowahk be any cuter?

Playing with some online photo tools

The first "kind of" chilly morning

It was a scramble this morning finding jeans, socks and shoes.  Owen probably hasn't worn a pair of socks for 6 months.  But he seemed to want to run everywhere . . .  was it the shoes, the cold, or the spider-man hoodie?

Day 3 - Reunion

Here is the whole group -- We had a great time.  

Day 2 reunion --

Ate lunch at Chuy's, got pedicures, watched it rain, had fun!

Michelle arrived and so did Amber -- so we were 11 in total.  

Day 1 - Bingham reunion

Today -- most of the flights were delayed, but almost everyone made it.  Tobi, Terri, and Vicki came of the sisters.  The cousins were -- Jennie, Maria and Annie (from Tobi's family) and Heather and Mikayla (from Vicki's family).  Michelle (from Terri) but she didn't arrive until midnight.

And then Amber drove up from Houston.  She got stuck in the center of the storm and then the road flooded (I-45) and they closed the freeway.  Eventually she was able to exit and get back on and drove back to Houston because there was no way to drive north.  She was in her car for 12 hours.

She is now going to fly here in the morning.

Mr. Bones

Owen wants to wear a skeleton shirt every day!

Getting ready

This weekend forecast is not my favorite -- We are having the Bingham ladies reunion and a lot of rain.  

Owen wanted to know where to plant oreo seeds so we could grow our own Oreos.  

Our watermelons are delicious!

Our volunteer watermelons were harvested today. They were delicious. Owen was filled with delight. These grew from spitting seeds in the grass and then pulling them up and throwing them in a flower bed where they rooted anyway.  All from a "supposedly" seedless one.

What I did during sacrament meeting

They need an emoji for a full head of grey hair -- instead I gave them a turban.  

Saturday business

Saturdays are a whirlwind.  Games, parties, running, more.  

Julianne and friends

Hanging out on a Friday night

Flu shot

I got all the kids the flu mist and I had to get the shot.  Now to get Trent!

The return of Blue Bell icecream

They were passing out coupons for free blue bell when it is back in stores here in Dallas on November 2nd!!!!

My artwork --

I made this cute skeleton for our ward's harvest festival -- pin the bowtie on the skeleton!

Flying home

Sunday in New Canaan with church and friends

Shopping and leaves

Today we went to a big outside outlet mall in NY and did some shopping and enjoyed the fall colors as we drove there.

Friday in the city

MTA, Grand Central, Mid Town, Times Square, the Highline, 9/11 memorial . . . and just a few more things! Made for a super fun day.

Flying to NYC

Julianne and I are heading to NYC and New Canaan for the weekend.  Homecoming for us!

Homecoming

Today I took Owen to Chick-fil-a.


Naturally I got this text while there.


Then we all spent the evening together at the homecoming carnival and parade.
