barrett: 101 months old

If you read Britton's post, then you know why this post is also late!  Frankly, after a week of sleeping in and too many boat drinks, I'm just proud of myself for remembering to post at all.  Barrett joined his school's book club this month!  They are reading "The Incredibly Dead Pets of Rex Dexter" by Aaron Reynolds.  He's really gotten into chapter books, and lately we've traded roles at night, where instead of me reading to him, he reads me his books!  He loves the "Dog Man" series, Judy Moody books, and the "Diary of a Pug" series.

Barrett recently made chocolate chip cookies with Memaw, all by himself!  When I bake, I can sometimes get him to bake with me, and he likes measuring the ingredients the most. 

Likes:  reading, delivering "boo baskets" to neighborhood friends

Dislikes:  having to clean his glasses

Let's pretend like I took this picture on October 2nd, and not today!  Truth be told, the hubs and I were on a much-needed vacation for the last week, so I wasn't home to actually take the picture on the 2nd.  October is turning out to be quite the busy month for Britton!  Softball games are in full swing, including double headers on multiple days.  The season is relatively short (over by the end of October, depending on tournament finals), so we're headed to games and practice multiple times per week.  And we've signed up for a lot of volunteering hours this month for NCL (National Charity League).  This week and next we're making 6 dozen cookies for the local hospital!  Ok, admittedly, I'm making the cookies, but I love baking so I don't mind sharing the credit.  

Britton has a band "hauntcert" where they will be performing spooky songs, and they get to dress up in costume!  So Britton has decided to be Little Red Riding Hood for both the concert and Halloween.
