Benben RenFun

We took our annual trip to the Kansas City Ren Fest this weekend. The weather was perfect and it was only kinda muddy.

Jousting on a fake horse. 

Riding a real horse. 

The most important part of the day....Cinderella. 

Basketball

Ollie had his first game. He did well and his team only lost by one point. He is determined to become a star. 

First Snow

At first it was mostly ice pelts. This is Penny's desperate attempt at a snow angel. She did get to make one after a few iches fell. 

Charlie Brown

As a fund raiser for school, we got to go to the Coetrie kids theater for a showing of Charlie Brown's Christmas. The kids loved it. Ollie wanted Charlie's autograph. 

Sally and Snoopy, too!

Toothless O

Two front teeth in two weeks. Ignore the chocolate face in pic two. 

He is officially a first grader. All his friends look just like him. 

Halloween

Halloween!.....but it's the middle of November?  I'm working on it! 

Ollie was very specific this year and wanted to be Luke Skywalker after Darth Vader cuts off his hand. I made his costume. Penny was intent on being Sophia the First until we saw this bee costume at Savers. Good thing I had only just started making her costume. She just had to have that bee! 

Lotus was a cute cat. June (not pictured due to Halloween being too scary for her) was an adorable fairy. 

Ollie's 7th Birthday

Our big guy turned 7 at the beginning of October.  He had a Lego brick hunt through a park with some friends.
