Halloween 2020!

We have been staying home for the most part and staying safe.  We have settled into our schedules with a lot of help from family!  Even Molly has started to appreciate Bamma being around (a high honor from a cat)!
Fall around here did not disappoint - we had some beautiful trees and we have had some great weather!
Noah seems to get older by the second.  He is still rocking the pandemic mop on his head - no haircut since March!
Princess of the blankets!
We celebrated Kjersten's birthday!
Bamma brought a form for a Halloween House and the boys had a great time decorating (and eating) it.


I finally bought a robot vacuum which Sam and Isaac have name Oliver. 
One of Mike's longtime family friends made us a table, it was so exciting to see it coming along in his workshop!
Zoom lunch with 2nd grade!
Zoom karate tournament!
Bamma moved and we were the recipients of some very nice pieces, including a new dresser for Sam.  He took no time to claim it as his own.
Working from home help.
We celebrated Molly cat's 2nd birthday!
And Isaac and Sam carved their own pumpkins, Noah decided to abstain this year.

Bat symbol!
Sam was able to connect with Calvin in order to play Minecraft together.
I had the strangest Halloween in my career.  I was in preschool for the day, one day later we were all quarantined.  Thankfully, everyone is ok!
Zoom Halloween costumes!

Noah opted to "dress up" for Halloween on zoom.
The table arrived and we are so so happy!
Halloween was different this year, we opted not to trick or treat.  But we put candy out and we had a TON of candy here at home!
We did put on costumes for a bit to run around while eating lots of candy and watching Nightmare Before Christmas, it was a great night!

Noah was able to go hang with his squad of Ari and Maya - they wore their matching hoodies (cooler than costumes).
The end of the night was a little sketchy due to sugar overload - but we survived!
I spent election day in line for a COVID test!  Everything turned out fine, but if you had told me that I'd be spending the first week of November 2020 waiting for election results in tandem with waiting for testing results I would not have believed you!  But, it seems that everything turned out great!  I'm renewed with a sense of hope for the future.  Things are tough right now, but we move forward!
