Week in Review

The girls' school held its annual Barnes and Noble Night on Thursday, when some of the teachers dress up and read stories at the mega bookstore. Additionally, the school gets a percentage of profits from the sales that night.

It's always fun, and the girls enjoyed picking out books. Violet chose an Animal Jam book, from the National Geographic online kids' game she and Cora like playing. Cora picked a couple of Warriors books, buying one with her own money.
On Friday, we went to Juliana and Daryl's house for Natalia's 7th birthday celebration. The kids made crafts, played and generally made merry.
Cora and Maya really enjoyed spending time together again; it's been since May or earlier, sadly. With how much the girls are growing up, it's a great thing that they still love playing together.
On Saturday, after Cora's football game, big sister helped little sister to climb high up in one of the pine trees at Central Park.
On Sunday, we made a quick trip to Lombardi Ranch for some autumn fun. Lombardi's isn't open regularly, as water problems have forced them to stop growing the corn and sunflowers and everything else that made them into a Fall Wonderland for decades.

But, knowing how much they are beloved, the family opened its doors to part of the property for one weekend, for photo opps with some of their iconic props.
Violet thought posing in the jail was a bad idea... but she didn't mind taking the photo of us.

The pumpkin selection was way smaller than normal years, but we still bought a couple of small ones to show our support.

Here's the girls in their babyhood at Lombardi Ranch:
