Photos From Phones - October 2017 Round Up

October was fabulous!  We spent a lot of time enjoying leaves, doing all the pumpkin things, and dressing up.  And yet, after all those things, which got their own posts (just look over there at that list!) we still have a round-up of our ordinary days.

10.1.17
(I took these book pics for my mom since she
was asking about apple books for her science
class.  But I'm posting them here, too, because
they're great and informative and we liked them
a lot.)

but she wasn't having it.  We did enjoy a variety of books
and audiobooks about him during September, though - these
were great.)

October evening read. I actually really liked it)

in my cart.  They may be my favorite "flavored"
oreo yet)
