Eleanor and Henry had an adventure with our sprinkler system this week. We needed to figure out how to water a particular tree, so we broke out the walkie talkies and turned it into a treasure hunt. While Dad cycled through all of the different sprinkler settings (12?!) the kids reported back on the walkie talkies where water was coming out. They were skeptical when I described to them what we needed to do, but we ended up having fun with it. <\/p>\n
Also this week was the school book fair, and both kids had fun picking out a few books to read. Henry was so excited about his book that he brought it to breakfast to read while he ate! Eleanor finished a series of 4 books that she bought on the same day! <\/p>\n
The weekend was filled with sports for Henry on Saturday, where his soccer team earned their first non-loss (a tie) and his football team earned their first victory (albeit against the other win-less team in our division…). Eleanor had a fun playdate with her friend Scarlet where they painted pottery. On Sunday we did a bike ride and relaxed around the house, and did a bunch of Halloween crafts that Grandma and Grandpa sent to us – Thanks!<\/p>\n
