October is a busy one!

As usual, the month seems to be speeding by so quickly!  Our cute kitty Molly, is getting along as a solo cat pretty well.  We are excited for her to turn 1 on Halloween! 
 We celebrated some more 40th birthdays over the last month!  Erin turned 40 at the end of September and we had a rare night with us 4 all together!
 The boys have been doing great at school, they had the annual fun run recently.


 We also got to have Ari and Hugo over for a sleepover.  Pretty simple: pizza and video games!
 I went to the Closing the Gap conference with some awesome coworkers.

 We gathered with the Rodriguez family to celebrate Frank!
 Happy 60th dude!
 And my BFF Philie turned 40!  We started out by surprise decoration of her yard with all things pumpkin the night before her birthday.

 It was a fun group of neighbors and friends!
The decorations are even more impressive by the light of day!

 Noah began the LONG process of braces - for him it's going to last 22 months.

 He was so tired after getting them on, he fell asleep that night with his light on and his foot propped up like this.  He was OUT!
 The weekend after her big birthday, I took Philie out for the day to celebrate.  We found a creepy antique store to explore while waiting for a guest to arrive.
 The woman at the store, "oh that can be a shirt OR a tablecloth!"  Oh my.
 Molly rode the train and met us for some delicious crepes for lunch!
 Matching hats at the ready, we headed to the St. Charles Scarecrow festival and art show for some fall/pumpkin fun.

 It was a gorgeous day on the Fox River.
 That night we gathered for a great meal with some amazing friends.  Happy Birthday dear Philie!

 Homework supervision.
 Since I went on and on about the crepe place I had been to, and because it's a couple blocks away from where karate black belt screening is - we went back for some nutella/banana action.  Amazing!
 School pictures turned out great!  Noah - 6th grade
 Sam - 3rd grade
 Isaac - 1st grade
 So excited for fall and Halloween!
