More fun. Today I watched Sophia, Avery, and Carson. Carson is about to let Sophia know she may NOT sit on this stool:
A game of Bird Bingo of course:
Avery demonstrated how to slide a long way while also catching a self-thrown ball:
In a moment, Carson will fall over and cry for about 15 minutes:

Christmas craft fair
My neighbor Kathie and I went to a great craft fair early this morning. Arriving early was a very good idea. By the time we left, cars were parked over a mile away; we parked within 50 feet of the entrance!
At St John the Evangelist Catholic School in Carmichael, this craft fair was excellent (better than the Harvest Festival at Cal Expo) – every classroom, the cafeteria, the gym, outside areas were filled with vendors.
Really cute stuff, like these mice:
Sophia & Avery
I watched Sophia and Avery this afternoon. Their neighbor Kellen came over to see if they wanted to jump in a pile of leaves. After the leaves had been raked up.
Leaf angels:
Walnut gathering
I thought I was ahead of the weather window, but no. At Justin’s, it was raining. Nice drive though.
Dinner at Linda’s
Linda invited a few friends over for dinner.
Adrienne, Val, Linda
Kathy W, Linda, Kathy F

Linda’s husband Ron buys and sells sports memorabilia. A display of vintage bats:
Thank you Linda for having all of us over. Dinner was delicious.
Picture-taking day
Thais (and Lenin) tried to take pictures for my Christmas card. Here are two of the best – out of about 50!
Later, in the evening, Thais and Sophia went to a King’s game and Lenin had a coaching clinic, so I came and stayed with the boys. After playing Beyblades for a while, Carson and I played Bird Bingo. He knows quite a few of the 64 birds, his favorites seem to be the Hoopoe and Blue-footed Booby.
Christmas lights
Thank you Justin for putting up Christmas lights for me this year!
Thanksgiving
At Thais and Lenin’s house. This is the extended/collected Del Castillo family. Lenin’s mom, Rita, was leaving for the Philippines the next day.
Sophia got her favorite piece:
Walnut gathering
The season has progressed. It finally looks like fall.
Rain is expected tomorrow, so I really needed to gather today.
So far, I’m at 334 pounds!
Harvest Festival
My neighbor Kathie and I decided to go early in the day to the Harvest Festival at Cal Expo. Apparently lots of other people had the same idea.
We were really proud of our spending restraint, we left almost empty-handed. Nevertheless, we had a lot of fun.
