Wonderous / Crazed

It's been busy the last few weekends. Two weekends ago, took a trip to the aquarium with Erica and Mary. Last weekend, Julie was out of town all weekend for college reunion. Saturday was a rainy day at home, but we did a bunch of stuff. Sunday we went climbing in the morning and then to Somerville's Halloween street festival in the afternoon.

This past Thursday, Google had their first office family event for some time, at Boston Lights at Franklin Park Zoo. Really beautiful, though I miss the old winter holiday parties, which are likely to remain a thing of good times past.

Despite that, and despite the weekend of solo parenting going pretty well, I felt pretty crushed this week. Friday, I felt a bit better, and the weather was really beautiful. We went out for dinner that night, joined by one of Erica's friends, Mabel. Saturday also had beautiful weather, and Julie went to the zoo with Eric and Mabel and Mabel's dad, while I had a relaxed day closer to home and went to the Union Square Farmers Market (last of the season) and did some cooking.

Today, the weather is cooler and rainy. I took Erica to a friend's birthday party in the morning. Erica has been in a very stormy mood today, but now she's working on her Halloween costume with Julie.

New Mario game is pretty fun.
