Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Every year Noah’s school invades the government offices in their building taking back your stolen tax dollars one tootsie roll at a time. Like any good rebellion, you need a leader – in this case Ms. Yelena – and a good pep talk.

Noah’s costume of choice for this “occupation”: a parrot to represent the colorful lies of the 1%.

Send in the dragons first, to intimidate.

Then show ’em our strength in numbers!

See how nervous the “suits” are?

The “fall” of big business (I’m guessing).

Dr. Noah C.

Can’t let the man keep us down with crowded elevators.

Admit it, you don’t read my captions.

Back to the class to celebrate our success.

Back in our apartment, taking stock of our loot.

…until… (to be continued)

Melting snow.

People watching the dog parade. I missed it.

We grabbed lunch with Susan, Richard, Wiley, and Ryder.

Not Wiley’s Halloween costume.

Ryder teaching Noah about Pokemon.

Sunny walk home.

Pumpkin dissecting.

I shot 400 photos on Halloween day. Editing them down for a blog post is going to be scary, and spooky… Boo!

I got Noah some new boots. I saw them and couldn’t resist, my wallet opening itself and spewing the money necessary. I put up little fight.

Test drive.

Water-resistant is not the same as water-proof.

Hair cut.

While Noah was in the chair, the weather turned.

Back home, dried off, psyched to open the mail.

Auntie Mindy, generous as always. Thank you!

Savannah’s dad shot some video of the kids catching vibes from the blues band the day that we went looking for pumpkins.
