| Hard at work |
 |
| Fall landed on our front porch while it was still 90ยบ, but the temperature eventually caught up with the season. |
 |
| Clay and I spent some time creating a lion mask for a performance he will do with his dance class in Nov. |
 |
| I worked a Friday Meals on Wheels route in a different part of town, which put me quite close to this new market, so I had to check it out. |
 |
| Ruth attended a homeschool homecoming dance for all homeschoolers in the DFW area. |
 |
| We got to spend time with family, celebrating sweet Charlotte's first birthday. |
 |
| Weston stepped in as substitute math teacher one day. |
 |
| The boys read a book called The Martyr of the Catacombs for their history class and then made clay models of the catacombs. |
 |
| Clay became a master popsicle maker. |
 |
| Weston and I watched a local grocery store make all the popcorn. |
 |
| Max was selected to help with the pledge at Arrow. |
 |
| Ruth and her besties attended the HSAA homecoming game. |
 |
| Jeff and I had a date night to Lucile's during Lobstrama. |
 |
| Jeff and Ruth attended an Air Force Academy information meeting and happily shared their new-found knowledge with the rest of us. |
 |
| We attended the Taste of Denton event at the Armadillo Ale Brewery. |
 |
| Rain, rain, and more rain |
 |
| Chicken Oil Co. is always a hit with our crew when we're in College Station. |
 |
| Ruth and Weston finished up the cross country season with the homeschool state meet at Texas A&M. The course was a mess, but at least it wasn't raining. We're so proud of their hard work this season! |
 |
| While we were in College Station, we met up with Jeff's brother's family for a long-overdue visit. |
 |
| No trip to A&M would be complete without ring pictures. |
 |
| Got in on the first day of early voting |
 |
| Clay taught me how to play Ticket to Ride. |
 |
| Ruth finished up her public speaking class. They created vision boards on the last day. |
 |
| Clay managed to lose another tooth to make himself look like a vampire just in time for Halloween. |
 |
| One of my book clubs met at Sloan and Williams Winery in Grapevine, which was a special treat. |
 |
| Max took on another paying job filling up holes in our yard. |
 |
| We got to spend a lovely weekend with my MIL at Lake Buchanan. |
 |
| We had our first-ever online consultation with a physician when Weston developed a severe rash and a sore throat. |
 |
| We came up with a reward system for the boys for getting their schoolwork done, which involved, in part, a large shipment of used Legos, which had to be washed before I would allow them into circulation. |
 |
| Ruth rocked her skeleton costume for her CAP Halloween party. |
 |
| The boys have a couple of events coming up at Arrow that necessitated us turning our kitchen into a factory of sorts. We made homemade marshmallows, homemade chocolates, homemade brownies, and homemade goat milk soap. |
