Halloween

Published on by amyewhitelivecomLeave a comment

Quinn and his friends wanted to Trick-or-Treat this year and this might be the last year. Who knows. The skeleton and his side kick.

We met up in front of their elementary school and walked through that neighborhood. The motley crew.

There was one street with lots of houses decorated and people giving out candy. The house on the end of the street always hosts a free haunted house for anyone that dares to enter. But the rest of the neighborhood was pretty quiet. And we only had 2 large groups of trick or treaters. Things still not quite back to normal.

The boys went back to Elias’ house to trade candy and continue the fun. When Quinn got home he said it was the “Funniest Night of my life”. So I guess it was a good one!

Around Here October

A typical morning scene.

Now that it’s getting cooler, Sonic and I are getting out more. And we can go on the trails because it’s not so snake-y.

At the orthodontist getting his upper retainer.

Quinn has an hour tuba lesson at Thousand Oaks High School so I made the most of it with a hike up Tarantula Hill during sunset. I didn’t see a tarantula but I did see a pretty big spider.

Another morning, another Sonic pillow.

On my morning walk with Sonic I saw this hummingbird in a neighbors butterfly bush.

Sonic likes to follow me around the house, especially if there seems to be a walk in his future. But he will hedge his bets by sitting on the stairs so he can easily access upstairs and downstairs, depending on where I go.

A short video of Sonic getting a Halloween scare.

Fun with friends.

Today was family birthday celebration day. It started out like this. Trying to get the kid out of bed as it approaches noon. Sonic is of no help.

Opening some gifts. The orthodontist recommended a Waterpik to make flossing easier. We will see how this goes. And Quinn loves weird cube shape things.

Mae joined in on the celebrations today. Quinn requested Hot Pot for dinner and it was delicious. And then another day, another cake. German Chocolate. Happy Birthday Quinn!
