happy Halloween

I’m currently in bed listening to Osten’s friends have a conversation about animals and which ones would be lethal to fight and which ones wouldn’t. Teenage boys are interesting! 

Great day. Walks, workout, farmers market, pumpkin carving, pumpkin cookie baking, mariachi with Osten, driving him to Hudson to go to a scary movie with friends and now hosting a sleepover. 

pajama day

Today was pajama day at school. It’s a tradition for one of my student’s to wear a football onesie and I wear Vikings pajamas. It was also my 17 1/2 day of school of the year. On my evening walk I saw a load of giant pumpkins so I snapped a photo. I also got to FaceTime Mom tonight. The Wildcats lost in their playoff game so Osten’s football season is over. Good news—Timberwolves won tonight! 

16 1/2

The Brewers won the World Series! I wore my jersey from the game we attended with the Knier’s this summer. Good day at school. Carol came to volunteer and helped a little guy get focused on his planet work. Got a work out in and will be heading back to school for Child As a Guide soon. 

sweet 16

It was my 16th day in the classroom today. Another good day. Took photos of our neighbors house that is being rebuilt. Also shopped at Our Neighbor's Place and got a pair of jeans for $1 and a little black dress for $4. Five dollars for two nice new pieces for my wardrobe.
 

day 15 1/2

Another good day at school—I got to go on my first nature walk. Voted after school and now am watching the Brewers in the World Series Game 4. They are ahead 3-0. 

shakey graves

Live music with Kim and Sarah is so incredible. We saw Shakey Graves at first avenue in Minneapolis this evening. Beautiful show. 

Sadly the Timberwolves had their first loss of the season but happily, the Brewers won and now are up 3-0 in the World Series. I also had my fifteenth day of school today! Hooray. 

happy Sunday! 6-0 Vikings and 3-0 Timberwolves

Fun day with coffee with the Knier’s, church, grandma and her pumpkin, grandma FaceTime with Abby, fashion show with my new Kindred buys and our neighbor’s house getting rebuilt. 
 

day full of adventure

Starting with a 7am walk, I’m finally taking it easy at 10pm. Walk with Petra, honor walk for Maxwell in St. Paul at 10am, lunch with Jenny and Julia Knier at noon, shopping afterward, birthday party for Sarah and Gretchen at 4:30 and Bunco at Emily’s at 5:30. I won a bunco prize, got a gift from Sarah and bought a sweet little quilted jacket and clogs from Kindred & had lots of meaningful conversation and laughter. What a day! Also got a cute snap from Adam—he ran into Anders and Ally at an apple orchard today! 

full day 3!

 

candle light walk, pumpkin bread and hammock

What a picture perfect day! Spent the morning at school and then came home to make some pumpkin bread and read in the hammock. This evening, Michelle and I walked at the school forest on a candlelight walk. It was a really beautiful day.
