November

Here's a quick look at our November. Seemed like we were fairly busy as usual! I'll do a separate post for Dave's birthday and our trip to Evansville for Thanksgiving. 

Ike's robotics season really picked up this month. He had several competitions and his team did pretty well. 

Spent a week working on getting the leaves off the deck. Ike helped a little :)

I went down to Evansville on my own to try and help with Grandpa stuff and Tony and I spent some time painting mom's bedroom. We had a lot of fun and her room looks awesome!

Ike and Josh went to Camp Tecumseh for the 4th grade camping trip. 

While they were gone Dave and I went on a date to Culver's.

Josh and I used a nice warm(ish) day to put up our Christmas lights. They turned out great!

I can't remember why I took this picture but it's a cute one!

More robotics for Ike. 

And finally the boys' Christmas ornaments for the year. Dave's is SuperSmash and Ike's is a Brussels sprout since that's his favorite :)

 

Halloween 2022

Halloween was pretty relaxed this year. I helped put on a party for the staff kids on campus and the boys lead groups around trick or treating. 

Josh and I dressed up for the decades day this year-he was a frat guy from the 2000s and I was supposed to be 90s!

When we were in Evansville for grandpa's funeral, we got to see the cousins for a little while. It was nice to get a break from everything and hang out with them for a bit!

The boys got to try Crumbl cookies for the first time too!

 

Dauphin Island 2022

For Fall Break this year we decided to head back to Dauphin since we had such a great time last year. We were only able to stay part of the week because of grandpa passing, but we enjoyed the time we had on the island. 

My mom was supposed to come with us but with grandpa's condition she couldn't. She gave the boys their early birthday/Christmas present-an Oculus! They have had so much fun with it. 

Ike came out with me on one of my morning walks. 

Kids had some decent waves for boogie boarding while we were there.

Ike's flamingo swim trunks and matching tank top. 

Ike's crab leg feast. 

Had to catch all the sunsets we could!

Ice cream of course. 

One last sunrise before we took off back to Evansville.
