October, I love you!

Life has been full of fun and adventure, and school is going well for all of us!  We’re excited to celebrate the spooky Halloween season in the mysterious forests of Kingwood!

While digging in the playground mulch after school, the kids found the most enormous grub I’ve ever seen!  About the size of a man’s thumb.  According to Google, it’s a rhinoceros beetle grub.  So disgustingly fascinating!

Time for a performance of Peter and the Wolf  with the Houston Symphony!  The kids loved it, and we were so happy that GaGa and Pappy joined us!
