ZOE IS 11 YRS. OLD!

Could not let the day go by without a post about my Zoe. Eleven years today but I'd swear she was twice that. Wise beyond her years and an inner strength that has graced her and served her well. She feels life incredibly deeply but doesn't let just anybody see. Keeps her close friends close and values them as one should. Mommy #2 in our house and she's nailed it. An avid reader and a gifted writer that unveils words like nobody's business. She's my rock, my bestie, and I'm so lucky to have her. ‪#‎LoveHerThePurplest‬

Cookie Helper

My cookie helper built a tower while he was waiting to get started!

That Face!

And, Another Break!

What's one more finger? Here goes her softball career!

Girls Scout & Scientist

Sweet Ruby, right in her element. Girl Scout event as The Tech Museum where she was able to put on her scientist cap and work in the lab. Ruby's heaven (besides coding and building motors and robots, of course!).

OOPS

Shaved his head on my own and then he got it "fixed" at the hair cutter. He went there looking like a survivor of the camps and came out looking like a cadet. Getting used to it. Good thing he is so darn adorable!

Robot War

Ruby and I built this robot last weekend. Izzy came in and destroyed it within 5 minutes of finishing it. You can imagine how well that went over. 😜

Luckily, we found all the pieces and got it back together.

Happy Halloween

Izzy/Wolverine started off on Friday with his Halloween Hoot @ Children's Center.  He had the best time.  As you can see, he ran into some other superhero friends and they all showed off their big muscles! :)

Zoe (vampire tween) and Ruby (superwheels) went to a Halloween party the week prior.  Here are a few pics from that night! :)

And, finally...the big day...HALLOWEEN!  Both Zoe and Ruby had a friend (& family) join us for trick or treating (and pizza before).  The kids had such a blast! Oh, and some candy trading after, of course.  Ruby was so adorable on her scooter -- she was going a million miles an hour.  Loved it!
