We had van issues one day last month and it had to get towed to a shop. Turns out it was just a dead battery, but we couldn't even get the car jumped and it was stuck in the garage. Thankfully, we have AAA with our car insurance, so all I had to do was make a call, answer a few questions, and it was all scheduled. It was kind of a neat process to watch as they were loading the van up onto the tow truck. You can watch it here!
Each year after Halloween I turn our jack-o-lanterns that are on our front porch around so the uncut side is facing the street. I do this so we can still enjoy the pumpkins for a little bit longer with my fall decor on the porch.
This is the view now that I see through the side windows on our front door when walking down our hallway. I find it just a little bit creepy, especially when you're not expecting to see two pumpkin heart eyes staring at you!
Even though they're getting big, the girls are still small enough to cuddle up into some really small places! Lucy and Molly both got into their laundry baskets and Molly decided to get into a box that was in our basement. Silly girls!
One afternoon I took Molly to a birthday party so Ross and Lucy went to have a special date afternoon together. One of their stops was Sonic where they both got a treat. They tried to make a Sonic commerical in the car while there. They probably need a little more practice before sending it in! You can watch it here!
One nice thing about doing school at home is that I've had a first-hand seat to seeing what type of work the girls are doing at school. One of Lucy's at home assignments each Monday and Tuesday was to do a page in her writing journal. She could write about her weekend, pick from several listed topics, or come up with her own topic to write about. I enjoyed helping her with it and do love seeing what all she wrote! Here are a few pages from her October writing journal.
