Another Five on Friday

It's been a rough week around here, so this one took me a little more thought.

1. Putting out my Halloween decorations, like this.

2. Discovering a new, quiet place to have lunch, the Hirshhorn Patio. It's just a few blocks from my office.

3. Showing the girls Dumbo for the first time. They really enjoy it, except for the weird drunken dream scenes.

4. Hayrides and Halloween crafts. (And discovering that L's costume wasn't working, so that we could move on to Plan B.)



5. The continued excitement of the emerging Monarchs at school this week. The big release was Wednesday, despite the wind and the threat of rain.
