A special day for Sophia.
Avery’s class also participated in mass.
I wonder how many dozens of donuts were ordered for today. The church was packed!

Sophia’s soccer game
Halloween party
Sophia’s costume – a Candy Witch – started out as a drawing.

Meanwhile, Avery is beginning to crawl.
More crawling coaches:
Grandma’s coffee looked pretty good.

Afterward, we went back to the house for a small family birthday party.
Sophia’s soccer practice
Meanwhile, Avery and a few friends played a version of tag. The “it” person stays on the ground and throws a ball at others who can go anywhere on the play structure.
Deciding who would be “it” first took quite a while. Eeeny meeny miney moe with feet – the longest version of the poem I’ve ever heard … and only one start-over to get the desired result.
Halloween costume #1
Delivered! Avery wanted to be a specific dinosaur – a carnotaurus.
But a blue one. He picked out the fabric himself, making sure it was the right shade of blue. Growling fiercely:
Chasing his tail:
Dino down. A word about all those spikes: they are about 3 inches long, stuffed with fiberfill, and hand-sown on.

Sometimes, it’s a race between Avery and Sophia to see who can FIRST ask “Grandma, can I have your gray iPad?” The other person is given the red iPad, which apparently ranks in second position for desirability. On a 30-minute ride home, the iPads must be exchanged after 15 minutes; they both can tell time quite well and periodically keep me informed about how many minutes are left. Another caveat from Sophia: since Avery gets to use the gray iPad for an entire hour while she’s at practice, she should get the first 15 minutes in the car … which is what happened today.
