I went to Costco this morning and made myself a nice lunch afterwards. Yep, just for me and it was nice to sit down and enjoy a full course meal before heading out to get kids after school.

Chloe got invited to her first bat mitzvah, so we went out shopping for a dress. Guess which dress she picked out for the party?
None… Blah.

oktoberfest

Sunday, October 13th, 2019

Today we have our town Oktoberfest and Chloe and her partner are hosting a booth at the fair. As part of the silver award project they started past summer, they are looking for art supply donations and volunteers for the Camp Sunshine/Snowflake.

Chloe gave a presentation in front of all the town GS troop leaders and parents a few weeks ago and I was blown away by how comfortable she presented her project in a public speaking setting. She stood in front of 25 + adults and she was very eloquent, and clear in getting her message crossed. I was beyond impressed!

11 year old Shane

Tuesday, October 1st, 2019

Here’s 11 things about Shane:
1. He loves to play basketball. In fact, he never leaves the house without his basketball in his hand regardless of where he’s going..
2. Loves playing video games. Duh.
3. He loves to read. If he’s not playing basketball outside or playing video games in the basement, he’s reading somewhere in the house while eating apples.
4. He always eats an apple a day.
5. In private, he’s very loving, tells me multiple times a day that he loves me and gives lots of kisses and snuggles. He holds my hand when I drive. But in public, it’s a different story.
6. Makes friends with anyone.
7. Tries very hard at school.
8. When it matters, he’s there for you. Always.
9. He thinks Wegman’s has the best sushi. Hmmm.
10. He loves music.
11. He’s a morning person. But only on weekends.
