Spirit Week, Oktoberfest & Lifelong Friends

Still as busy as ever around here!

This past weekend, we went to our church's Oktoberfest after Mass. We met up with our old neighbors (sad that they are now "old" neighbors) and had a really good time! The kids loved the little train and inflatables and I enjoyed a few cups of really cold brews. Ahhhhh.

The kids in front of one of the cool downtown murals.


These days, two beers + camera = self portrait.


The Pear had so much fun in this little train ride!


Don't let the snarl fool you! That's one of his signature looks. Oh brother.


Taylor was totally fearless on the big slides.


I was impressed that Michael is just 2 and could climb this huge rock wall!

A funny sequence:

Michael at the top of the big slide...


...oops! He flipped sideways and log rolled the rest of the way down! He was not fazed.


This little train was definitely the hit of the night. Michael, Taylor and Ben.


On Monday, we got a special visit from one of my dearest lifelong friends. Lea and I have been friends since we were toddlers hanging out at our brothers' T-ball games. She was kind enough to join the Pear and I for lunch.

Can you tell that Michael liked her? :)

Being a good boy, playing with his crayons and eating his packed sandwich as Lea and I caught up.

Tomorrow is Wilmington's homecoming so Taylor got to participate in her first Spirit Week. Monday was hat day (pink Steelers hat), Tuesday was jersey day (she had a game that night and wore her Blue Jets jersey), Wednesday was crazy day, Thursday was alien day and tomorrow is orange and black day. She totally ate it all up!

Crazy Day:




Alien Day (she actually wore different bottoms, not these Daisy Dukes, haha):




And two shots of Michael being adorable.


Until next time,

Mommy Kel
