College daughter on first co-op: If I wear a skirt, do I have to wear pantyhose? Me: No. On principle, No. Best mom advice given.

I mean if you can’t go see a Tony nominated play this weekend, you should go see the hottest thing in Burncoat tonight.

Multi-cultural night at Clark Street Community School. So much amazing food & talent!

Another Afghan friend enjoying this rite of passage. It’s a big deal.

Thursday night out!!

Thanks to Worcester Fire Dept. for send over the team in Engine 7 to show a few new Americans what the fire department does! So much fun!

If ever a day to take my Afghan (& Syrian) friends to Purgatory Chasm & to play their first ever game of mini golf, today was the day! Glorious. They worked hard on English, math, & cutthroat UNO skills this summer.

Three cheers for the first day! My Afghan friends gleefully got on the bus. Sure it was a few minutes late, but the driver came with a smile on her face as excited as the kids. Cheers to another driver who let us know that the kids’ bus was on its way. Happy!

Time for a paperwork update!

Is it too much to ask to have a candle that smells like the inside of Ed Hyders? It feels egregious that Worcester doesn’t have this yet.

My neighbor is having an irrationally good time firing up a chainsaw to terrify trick-or-treaters. My husband is gleeful about his remote controlled rat. Meanwhile it’s a good time to remind you that it’s also Diwali.
