Darby 27/52 v6

Darby was resolute that she was going to be Megan Rapinoe for Halloween this year, she loves soccer and the purple hair was definitely a motivator. We got her the home uniform for Halloween night and the away uniform for the rec halloween party and school... we figured white at the festivities would be a risk. Darby was also thrilled to win the costume contest at the rec for the second year in a row!

For Halloween this year I really wanted to be Dr. Strange. We could not find a kid costume for him so my Dad made one for me. My favorite part is the Eye of Agamotto necklace that he made light up with a battery pack.

On Saturdays we play soccer and Cheese comes to watch. Darby played early this week so I got to watch her game with Cheese before I played my game.

Darby turned 5 and a half this week! We celebrated with a rainbow cake and some princess goods - a necklace making kit and an early reader book set. This girl really loves celebrating and is so excited to say "5 and a half" versus "5" when asked how old she is!

The kids have 2 weeks off for Fall Break - we took a week to be home and take local adventures and then the kids went to art camp and sports camp for the second week. While Cheese is not fully vaccinated yet we are trying to take her to a lot of places and Darby really wanted her to see the ocean... somehow we did not get a picture Cheese with Darby!

It's fall break. Last week we stayed home with Mom and Dad and Cheese, and this week we are going to art camp and sports camp. I was jumping in the bounce house at sports camp and split my shorts so dad had to bring me new pants - when they called Mom to tell her she thought I split my lip.

Pizza and juggling are pretty cool and I get both when we go to Pizza My Heart on Tuesday nights. Ben lets me participate in some of his tricks and I really like his poems.

One of the things about Kindergarten that had Darby very excited was that I would teach her art like I have for Ewan. This week we learned about Mondrian and she did a great job on her project and was so proud to show it off.

Darby has a new best friend! This weekend we surprised her with a puppy that we named Cheese, she is an Australian Labradoodle. Darby loves Cheese so much and we keep hearing her say, "I will always be here for you Cheese!" while she pets her.

We got the best surprise this weekend, a surprise is different than a secret. We were going for a drive and then Mom and Dad stopped for water and gave me a book to read to Darby, it told us we were about to meet Cheese - our new puppy!
