Five on Friday

Howdy. Just popping in to share five pictures from my phone that apparently I haven't shared yet. :) 

This first one was taken in Old Town last month during a day off we took. (CEC had the day off, so we took the day off from homeschooling also.) It was such a lovely day...eating at the Waffle Lab, wandering Old Town, and grabbing a snack at Whole Foods before heading to the theater to watch a cheesy movie. 

This one was taken a week-ish later as we were walking in our neighborhood. We were trying to capture the beautiful orange foliage behind/above us, since it was some of the only fall color we could find. (After the cold snap, most of the leave just up and died.) 

Obviously, this one was taken Tuesday after I dropped off our mail in ballots. Sorry it's not great...I took it in the car, in the dark, while I was waiting for Noah to finish his voting. Because he couldn't register to vote until so close to election day, he had to vote in person. I picked him up from campus and had him vote near our house just before we all went to watch "Free Solo" at The Lyric...which was really cool (both the documentary and the theater).

The next day (Wednesday), Asher had a history test, a Spanish test, and his driving test. Yeah, busy day. ;) 

And, since he passed his test with flying colors, we made a (surprisingly quick) visit to the DMV the next day to get his license. Yup, officially have two licensed teenage boys now. :) For his first solo drive, Asher drove himself to parkour last night. 

So. Keeping busy here and hitting milestones and all that. As is to be expected, the next week or so is full, but we're very much looking forward to Thanksgiving week, as both CSU and CEC have the whole week off (and we'll take the week off from homeschooling as well). Woohoo! Happy Friday and weekend to you!
