Cats November 22, 2020

 All of the cats in the house love the new cat tree that we got from Mike and Amy.  Grace even has her cat ears on so that she join the other cats on the tree.

Beginning to Look Like Christmas November 21, 2020

While getting ready to go ice skating at the Bridgewater ice rink, we decided to take a detour.

Right outside of the ice rink is the town's Christmas tree.  This tree is HUGE and beautiful!

So while I am getting the kids ready to ice skate, Grace is taking Glen's picture and Glen is taking Grace's picture.  I think that they both did a great job.

However, I think that this picture is my favorite because you can see a close up of my beautiful children and also you can see how very, very tall this tree really is.

School at Mamaw's November 10, 2020

 How strange that this is how a "normal" school day looks for Grace during her fifth grade year.

Halloween October 31, 2020

Halloween looked a little different this year since, with Covid 19 around, no one wanted to trick or treat door to door.

So Bridgewater had their town soccer field set up with people at tables  to get candy from organizations who wanted to set up at the soccer field.  That way the individuals could keep a decent distance, still trick or treat, and have fun.  They also had an activity at the pavilion where the kids could decorate a pumpkin with face stickers.  It was a really fun activity.  I hope that they continue to do this even after Covid is gone.

Glen wanted to be a cat this year.  So he dressed in all black, I made him a tail, and I also made him furry ears.  He made sure his favorite stuffed cat made it into the picture too.  So here is cat Glen, and cat Grissom.

Grace also wanted to be a cat this year.  So she dressed in gray and black.  I made her a tail, I also made her furry ears.  Here she is posing with our many jack-o-lanterns.
 

Crazy Kids in Nature October 25, 2020

I believe that these are also pictures that are from the Fire Tower hike from the day before.  However, I think that these are pictures that Matt took and shared with me later.

These crazy kids found so many places and things to pose with for pictures along the way of our hike.

I love to see them having fun with nature.

 

Seven Bends Fire Tower Hike October 24, 2020

A great fall day to get out and see the beautiful leaves changing.  Nature is gorgeous!

We hiked up the Fire Tower in Woodstock and got to see the seven bends of the Shenandoah river.

The tower was a bit sketchy at times and I was not sure we should be up there, but man it was worth the view.  How beautiful it was!

I am glad that we are getting more hikes in, since we are stuck at home so much.
