In saying that I have lost track of yet another week! It was a busy one, but I can't really say doing what! Mallory had a headache and laid on the couch for 3 days, she never ran a fever or had any other symptoms, but she truly didn't feel good. She seems much better now, and nobody else seems to have a mysterious headache, hopefully nobody else will! We have had a full weekend as well.
Colin played in his last official game, although we are waiting to hear if his team goes to a tournament in November or not. I guess even though they are technically done playing, they will continue to practice for a few more days just in case!
We played a little bingo at the nursing home up the street. The residents truly enjoy playing this game, and they are pretty serious about it...especially if there are prizes! We joined with another family from our church to do this, their kids are trying to get community service hours in as well! I was absolutely amazed by Preston, though. He sat in a chair and very seriously played bingo - and needed very little help - the stinker has somehow has picked up his numbers. I thought he would need help with the bigger ones, but he was pretty self-sufficient. He even got a bingo!
Lawrence Virtual School is having a pumpking decorating contest - this is Cam's entry. He had a great time designing this witch and did most of the work himself. I only helped a little bit with the hair. He is very proud of his creation!
I hosted the first craft meeting for the new 4-H year this weekend. The crafters made bath salts which we will be selling at the Overbrook Craft Sale in a couple of weeks. We made some funky colors for fun after we got our jars filled. This is a great and EASY craft, and the kids really love it! The nice part is that if they accidentally spill, it sweeps right up! And it leaves the house smelling nice for a few days too. The only problem I have with it is that right now, certain smells really don't set well, so I had to really limit the scents that we used this time! The kids didn't seem to mind. We made apple, pear and plumeria scented salts. I found the little cork jars at Michael's and they were very cheap. I like how they turned out!

Colin, Cameron and Jim attended the KSU Homecoming game against Colorado yesterday with Uncle Jay. They had such a great time! Cameron got Frank Martin's autograph on the hat with Bill Snyder's autograph. He now thinks that rather than $1000, the hat is now either worth a million dollars, or is totally priceless! I hope he still feels that way at the end of both football and basketball seasons! (I still didn't allow him to wear the hat to church this morning!)
