Our council hosts Cub Day At Camp a couple of weekends in the fall, with the weekend before Halloween having a theme. Can you guess what it is? After our rounds of BB guns we headed to the archery range. Archery is perhaps Xavier’s favorite Cub Scout activity. On the way there were leaves on…
Here is the second of two parts of my catch-up series for this school year. A number of abbreviated postings glossing over what has happened so far, trying to simply get caught up and not three months behind. Here is Xavier during one of the cross country meets. Ciáran had a bit of improvement over…
As with I think every year since I started blogging, here is my post with costumes and carved pumpkins. Your enjoyment is probably directly proportional to the familiarity you have with my family.
Yes, I know this is late and everybody has moved on from this day at this point, but I’m having a long but great week. part of which will be in another post. You might remember I mentioned carving pumpkins on the last Phamily Foto Phriday. This is my favorite. All Dela’s idea. The one…
Last night was Halloween and our plans had to change because not everybody was feeling well. Nothing serious, but Grace was rather fussy.

“Mummies are the original zombies. Just wrapped up in toilet paper.” – Ciárán This year was somewhat excruciating with regards to getting the kids costumed up for Halloween. August knew what he wanted, thankfully. He plans on being the 9th Doctor from “Doctor Who” which didn’t take much. We purchased an appropriate Sonic Screwdriver, August…
I like my neighborhood. There are some things about it that really help to make is special. The annual car show is one. The fact that I can walk to a number of different types of restaurants (Indian, Thai, pizza, Mexican, etc.) and the several bars and other types of businesses – well, it’s a…
Yesterday was Halloween, so of course there will be costume pictures. First, however, I wanted to share this. We don’t get a lot of fallen leaves in our neighborhood, but the block to and from school does for about a week. The kids all love going through them. Here’s Xavier on his way home from…
