Halloween 2024 - Paige as Lola Bunny

 

Paige dressed up as Lola Bunny this year and went trick-or-treating in the TPC neighborhood where one of the streets really gets in to it. 

Hope Lodge Pumpkin Carving

Paige and I volunteered at the Hope Lodge at the Mayo Clinic this past week. We volunteered along with some students from Bartram and Nease high schools to entertain some of the patients with pumpkin carving. It was a little awkward at first when we showed up, but eventually everyone warmed up to each other and we had a good time. We also helped to separate all the pumpkin seeds and baked them.

 

Paige's Pumpkin and Dancing with Sarah

On Saturday, Paige went over to our neighbor Sarah's house to hang out for a bit and they carved some pumpkins together. Paige's turned out pretty cute and they had a lot of fun at our house as well. The girls brought out the gymnastics mat in the family room and were attempting a recent popular move from Dancing with the Stars. I jumped in to help out and we (somewhat) pulled it off while Sarah filmed.

Paige and Shawn - PV Clinics and Anejo with Millie Mae

 
Paige was not thrilled to have to do it, but I insisted that she join me on Saturday morning for the 9am and 10am tennis clinics. Paige played well and I love to see her able to hold her own against grown adults that have played tennis for their entire lives. Millie Mae came along as well and was very patient sitting on the bench while we played. 

Paige captured a video of me between games when we checked in on Millie and told her that she was being a very good girl.

We walked over to Anejo (one of our favorite Mexican restaurants) afterwards, for lunch and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Paige with Millie Mae in her Sweatshirt

 

Thankfully Millie Mae is a very patient dog and will go along with just about anything. Paige decided to stuff Millie up in her sweatshirt the other day and luckily Millie is not the kind of dog to freak out or bite someone.

Connor, Paige, and Sadie at Beaches Go Green Cleanup

The kids went to the beach this weekend along with classmates to do some community service. They helped to pick up trash and one of the club members took a photo of them and posted to Instagram.
