The girls' school had a Veterans Day celebration, and several grade levels offered a special tribute. Select third graders read a poem about a white table set up to remember our veterans, and Violet was chosen to read one of the stanzas.
Thanks to Elaine for grabbing this lovely photo! (I videoed it, but my angle wasn't great.)
We collected some awesomely huge zucchini that had secretively been growing into monsters. This big guy here made a veggie lasagna (with sliced zucchini serving as the pasta) and a big batch of muffins.
On Sunday evening, we went to an escape room with my family (though we missed Nick, who was working). This time around, we escaped! We did have quite a few hints, but it was still gratifying to make it out of the room on our own.
With the girls at Yass and Kelly's house, Stace and I were able to go out after our daring escape for a drink and bite to eat at a tiki bar Melanie loves. It was fun!
The kiddos celebrated those who met their reading goals with a pizza party. I helped a bit, and got to watch Violet playing with her favorite buddy, Kat.
Stace and Violet surprised Cora and me when we came home late from her final football practice - they had made this beautiful Victoria sponge cake. Jam in the middle and powdered sugar on top, with a homemade stencil providing the pattern.
