Recap post. Wa waa.

I thought I'd cover some things from last fall/winter that went unblogged.

 
   Trick or treating. These pictures kill me. Poor Harry Potter threw up at school right before his class party but was feeling better by evening. He read The Sorcerer's Stone all by himself last year so the costume was extra cool for him.

This picture was taken on Halloween and I remember thinking I looked huge and now I think I looked awesome. Ah, postpartum.
We went searching for some nearby ghost towns one day and didn't have much success but had lots of fun anyway and ate at that haunted scone restaurant in Santaquin which was really creepy.

We had a kitty. For a time. (Insert gritted teeth emoji.)

Our yard set records for leaf fall.

Drove to Arizona for Thanksgiving.

I just thought this was cute.


 Snow. Lots and lots and lots of snow.

 Pearl and Norah had the best kindergarten teacher ever and they got in the Cookie Club, which means they know how to read and got a huge cookie. Mostly, I just wanted to post this picture because it makes me laugh.

 Goofy kids.

 
Lots of great sunsets but I caught this one on camera.

 And lots of school and homework and field trips.

That was fun. Blogging helps me remember I have a pretty great life. Long live blogs.

Dear Abby- Pearl kills me. kills me! I loved the recap. your talents are beautiful and endless. long live blogs, indeed. Will you update mine for me for the last, oh, 2 years...? much love to you! p.s. did i tell you that crue was a scary mummy as well!? They'd have so much fun together. or hate each other but i think they'd have fun.
