The schools have been testing all the kids weekly for covid, but that hasn’t stopped other germs going around!  The kids caught their first cold in a long while in October and had to take a few days off school to contain the germs and get more PCR tests (negative!).  There have been two covid cases in Sarah’s class, though, so we are still on high alert!  Here’s Blaine on one of his days at home, making an elaborate drawing of a coral reef.

Andrew bought me some beautiful dahlias from the farmer’s market on 10/2, our wedding anniversary.  Dahlias were the main flowers in my wedding bouquet!  We had to cancel our dinner plans since the kids were both sniffly but we still had a nice celebration at home.

Another day the kids and I went back to Rye Nature Center and we built another fort from sticks.

We stopped at Milk and Cookies in Mamaroneck for a treat and took our snack into Harbor Island to look at the boats and the swans.
