We have been embracing our full days lately and taking advantage of our free moments to get out and enjoy Houston in the fall. Too bad summer has returned this week; it is a good 10-15 degrees above normal here and we Houstonians are sure sick of the summer heat by mid-October!
Here's a peek at some of what we've been up to lately:
Every year, I am part of the teaching team for Hands On Art at the boys' school, which means I get to teach their classes! The October lesson focused on Andy Warhol and print making.
I had forgotten how many projects third graders have. Henry has been busy this month! We made pumpkin bites for his class last week
and then he had to create a character pumpkin this week. He chose to make a pig.
We hadn't been to Mid-Main's First Thursdays in over two years because of Cub Scout meetings, but now that the Scout schedule has changed, we were able to attend last week. It was as fun as we remembered.
On Saturday, we headed down to Lake Texana Park for a Cub Scout campout and stopped in Rosenberg for lunch on the way. We love small Texas towns!
Another pit stop at Buc-ee's.
We got lucky with beautiful weather for our campout. The boys had to set up the tent on their own
and cook dinner (with help).
Gene and Henry went fishing
and we all enjoyed spending our weekend outside.
Yesterday was our fall holiday and despite the heat, we took advantage of our free day by heading to the zoo.
Our days are full but we try to have some downtime in the evenings before bed. I just love this picture of Ruby and Henry.
How have you been enjoying fall?
