This is Berk.

 While other places have ponies or parrots . . . WE have dragons.

I hope everyone had a magical halloween!

It was that kind of weekend . . .

It's all coming together, but there's still a lot more to do before the school carnival, which (thankfully) they moved to the weekend.

Makes me happy . . .

Peter's reaction

We practically had to drag Charlie out of there, but not before he got to try the violin, cello, french horn trumpet, timpani, snare drum and cymbals. Peter on the other hand was ready to leave almost the minute we walked in. I think the noise was just too much for him. The concert was a different story though. They both loved it . . . well most of it. The 10 minute piece in the middle got a little long, but you should have seen them bouncing in their seats for Stars and Stripes Forever. In fact, most of the audience was happily bouncing all over the place.

Let the season begin!

It's October! The decorations are going up today and we are officially making a decision about costumes tonight for FHE. And while I'm glueing magnets to plastic spiders for my front door, you can enjoy these Halloween memories . . .
