It is October but it honestly feels like mid-September. Everyone I know feels about two weeks behind because of the two weeks we lost after Harvey. The weather also feels like mid-September -- hot!
Here's a peek at some of what we've been up to at the end of September and beginning of October:
A couple of weeks ago, we were hoping for a cool front, but it fizzled out (as they so often do!). We were itching to get outside but it was too hot to do much, so one morning, we took ourselves and Ruby over to Smither Park near the University of Houston. This is a tiny little art park but it was a little something new to explore.
Ruby enjoys all outings, even to art parks!
Afterwards, we explored the Park for Humans and Dogs in the Sixth Ward, where Ruby wore herself out!
The boys love to play games!
Henry's open house was the last week of September. It was fun to see his classroom and meet all his teachers, though two of them were also Will's teachers. If they can't remember Henry's name, they just call him "Will's brother!"

Last week, one of Will's carpool buddies invited him for ice cream after school -- and it wasn't just any old ice cream either! They were headed to Creamistry, where ice cream is made with liquid nitrogen. Check out the pictures the mom sent me!
Will loved it so much that we are going to take Henry there for a post-flu shot treat!
While Will tried out Creamistry, Henry and I decided to get some ice cream from The Chocolate Bar.
More treats -- Rice Krispie treats like when I was a kid!
We also got the boys new bikes. Henry especially loves to ride, and he and I headed down to "Treehouse Park" over the weekend.
Will is loving band this year and is playing the trumpet! He is so excited that he practices at all hours.
And finally, we celebrated Gene's birthday on Sunday! Our good friends from Austin happened to be in town, so they stopped in for a special birthday brunch on Sunday morning.
Photo-bombed!

We got him garlic Tabasco and a new science-y cookbook.
For dinner, Gene chose to visit King's Biergarten in the Heights, and it was so much fun!
Beer + sausage is this guy's perfect birthday dinner!

Here's to many more birthdays with my sweet husband!
