We just completed the best game of Sorry! that I have played in my entire life! We just played a game that lasted an hour and 7 minutes. By the end we each had almost all of our pieces in Home, with Mar-Mar winning, Andrew waiting for a 1, me/Elliot waiting for a 3, and Mari/Susan waiting for a 5 and a 7.
It is about this time of year that I usually write my annual I hate the time change post. This year, for the first time ever, our kids adjusted fairly seamlessly. We had a few nights where they went to bed early and woke up early, but after a couple of days they were back to normal – in bed around 8 and up at 7 or 7:30.
Mari was walking to lunch today and she saw something in the lost and found – Andrew’s missing lunch box. He lost it on September 8 and we had not seen it since – until today! It was all there, including a very moldy sandwich. We are glad to have it back.
Tonight we had the Lantern Walk with the Bean Sprout families. It was a beautiful night and we had a great turn-out.
Thanks, Betsy and Scott, for the pictures.
Andrew was the Des Moines Menace mascot, Mari was a baby fairy, marking her third year in a row as some sort of fairy, and Elliot was some sort of witch, or something. We had a great time walking around the neighborhood.
