Jude relaxes with Picky on “the cloud”

Jude had the week off from school and as he is wont to do he spent a lot of time relaxing at home. There was soccer on TV almost every day and of course he spent time with Pickles, our cat. He and Marcy did a few outings, they came into my work for lunch one day but Jude generally had a low key week. He even said by the end of it he was looking forward to going back to school Monday.

Enjoying chocolate crepes on the last day of the farmers market

Saturday, the kids and I had a haircut and on the way back we stopped at the farmers market in Cherry Creek. It was the last weekend and we wanted to stock up on the tamales that Jude loves. It was such a beautiful day and the kids decided to get some yummy chocolate crepes. Saturday afternoon Anna had her soccer game. She had another strong game even though her team lost again. Saturday night Marcy and I had our first date in many months when we went to our friend Maggie’s 50th birthday party.

After raking leaves in the front yard Jude decides to jump in the pile

Today was an even nicer day so we used the opportunity to get some yard work done. Jude and I raked leaves in the front yard and Marcy did the backyard. Anna meanwhile got out the archery set and played with the neighbors most of the day. And of course, Jude and I watched some of the Broncos and Packers games as well as the Arsenal game this morning.
