Travis's soccer season came to an end this weekend (and not too soon, by the way!). He really did learn a lot this season. He is a natural on defense. When I played field hockey I remember feeling so much more comfortable in a defensive position. I think Travis is too.
On Saturday we met up with some neighbors and friends and walked the neighborhood. Travis was Buzz Lightyear. Chelsea was a "Ballerina Princess". They were so cute! One of my neighbors knows that I dread Halloween because Travis has the peanut and nut allergy and we can't have any nuts or nut products in the house. We end up giving up half of the kids candy. So my neighbor, who also happens to be an old family friend, bought two bags of Skittles especially for Travis and Chelsea! I thought that was so kind of her. Chelsea really got into it this year. She was so excited. She would get so angry when she wasn't given candy. Being so small, she was often overlooked by the homeowners. A few times she threw an all-out tantrum on their doorsteps.
Here is Travis as Buzz!
Chelsea was very pleased that she got to use the body glitter and lip gloss that she got from Tita and Uncle Scott and Caroline and Isabel for her birthday.
Here they are getting ready to leave.
Chelsea admires herself in the reflection of Dad's car.
The trick-or-treating gang!
Chelsea continues to enjoy dance class (although sometimes I find the teacher a bit harsh). She has a big smile on her face every time she is asked to do anything. This week she was asked to demonstrate how to point her toes. She was so proud. I am glad she likes it so much.
The house plugs along. The closet in our bedroom has been finished. There are still some electrical projects to do and the kitchen and mudroom floor needs to be laid. All in all there is light at the end of the tunnel, although sometimes I feel I have to look especially hard to find it.
On to the holidays!

The kids look adorable!! Wasn't it nice it was so mild on Halloween?
UGh - that dreaded peanut and nut allergy. We had a little girl join the school mid year and I made the school a peanut free zone. Some parents complained it was inconvenient. I told them "worrying if your child will die is more inconvenient" . Shut them up! What a wonderful neighbor buying the Skittles! That was so thoughful and sweet!!
I hope November is good to you and yours!
hugs, Linda
