It is the end of October and we forgot about our carrots. We are leaving on our trip this week so we thought we should probably dig them up before we left. Honestly, it has been so warm this fall that I didn't worry about them freezing. We presumed that we wouldn't get much of a crop this year because we planted them so late, but we were mistaken. This may be the largest crop of carrots to date. James is our expert gardener so this is a pretty happy face.
This fall Ben, Audrey, and James have all been playing soccer and loving it. Noah decided to skip soccer this year and instead join the middle school cross country team. All of the kids have loved being active this fall and we are so proud of the progress they have made! At the beginning of October Audrey's soccer finished, but her basketball also started. She has been waiting to play these "official" sports for so long and this year she is finally old enough!
This past weekend we ran in the annual Fit Girls 5K in downtown Wilton. The original plan was that Noah would run solo and I would run with James since he hadn't trained a whole lot for this race. When we got to the race that morning Audrey saw all of the other girls running and REALLY wanted to run too. I tried to talk her out of it because she has never run more than 2 miles (and she is 5yo), but she was clearly determined that she was going to run it with or without a number. So, Noah and James both ran solo and did an amazing job on their own. Audrey and I ran together and her persistence never wavered. She made it the entire way without complaint and finished 61st out of 134 participants. Needless to say she is proud of herself and immediately hung her ribbon on her wall.
