We just had a festive Halloween in which all of the kids had different plans--so bittersweet. The kids are all happy and thriving and I feel happy about this, and also a little sad--time is fleeting! Somehow our big boy, Hersh, lost his size 13 sneakers---an amazing accomplishment of sorts. He also earned amazing grades in his first quarter of HS and we are proud! AlteLu has started Nutcracker rehearsals and bat mitzvah season is underway. Sender has finished soccer, knows how to read, and has been a helpful raker of leaves. I told the big kids that I would pay them each $50 for leaf raking. They said they would consider the offer, to which I responded that they must rake no matter if they accept the $50 or not:) Oh, and today is the presidential election....fingers crossed our democracy remains in tact.
