This week has been absolutely nuts with stuff going on. Work is busy, kid activities have us running, normal weekly obligations have not gone away, and we were too busy last weekend to finish stuff at home, so we are playing catch up there as well! I am ready for the weekend and feeling sad that it is only Thursday!
This week, Quincy (#62 in white) wrapped up her football season by beating Wellsville. More than likely, it was also a wrap up to her football career. She enjoyed playing and the season. Her team was undefeated in league play and they are the league champions. She didn't have much to say about it. I heard her coach ask her if she was going to play in high school and she said she doubted it. I think it is a hard place for a girl. In junior high, she is about the same size as the other players, but they will continue to grow and she probably won't. It isn't that it cannot be done, but it is just hard for anyone to be knocked around by people twice their size. Time will tell, and we would never discourage our kids from doing the things they want to do, but I would be fine with her getting a new hobby. Not the "football is dangerous" argument for me, but the "mom doesn't enjoy sitting outside when it is cold!"
She has her first basketball game this evening. We don't need no breaks! :)
We finally made Preston his birthday cake. He seemed super happy about it! He is a good kid, and I am so glad he is patient and didn't feel neglected when we didn't get it done on his actual birthday!
Overbrook school had a fall festival. Saige got to invite a guest, and she asked grandma to come along. Clayton also needed a guest, so she had her hands full decorating pumpkins, and eating desserts with these 2 squirrels. They had a fun time!
Saige has several friends who she hangs out with. They are a lot of sass in one place! I am happy that she has so many kids whose families I know that she likes to hang out with. We do not have that luxury with all of our kids. Jordyn and Lylah's families I have literally known my whole life. We won't mention that I used to babysit for Jordyn's dad when I was a high school student. :)
This little sweet pea is 10 months old today! She is the happiest, most content, easy-going kid ever! We love her so much! I am having a hard time believing that it has been 10 months since we were surprised by her arrival into the world!
Harper's teacher has a reading challenge each week. This week it was "red" for red ribbon week. They were to read with something red, or while wearing red. Harper decided to read with Ollie the red border collie. Ollie was not too eager to pose for a picture with her!
