A few extra days of sun, a turkey visiting the library, a full moon, learning to read, practicing for swim class in the bathtub, a bird on our feeder, and family game night returns wtih the chilly weather, these are the things that made up our week.

Halloween is the the theme this week. Trick-or-treating three out of seven days, in downtown Dexter on Friday, at the Ann Arbor farmers market on Saturday, and on Halloween in the neighborhood, so three days in the costume gave us three great photo ops. On Monday he traded his candy in for cash and we went shopping for a new toy (which he picked out ahead of time by researching it online). Tuesday we voted, Wednesday is him working in his piano workbook, and Thursday we lit the pumpkins up one last time before Friday's compost pickup.
