Happy Halloween!

Maggie dressed as a doctor and Philomena dressed for the 1980s.  We drove over to see their Uncle Dan and Aunt Mary.

 

Carving Pumpkins

Our annual tradition of carving jack o'lanterns.

 

Future Color Guard

Maggie went to the 8th grade night for future Links.  She hung out with the Color Guard that she wants to try out for this spring and hopefully be a part of Marching Band next year!  She had a lot of fun having her face made up like the Color Guard!

 

Marching Band - Every Saturday in October!

Beatrice was at the same competition so we were able to hang out with Carrie & Riley!

 

"Mom, let's take a picture together"

Maggie thought it was a great time to take a picture together so we did.

 

Sleeping on a Chromebook

Hmm, fell asleep on her Chromebook... things you can do on fall break - haha

 

Youth Group - Roca Berry Farm

We went to Roca Berry Farm with the youth group.  Philomena walked around with me and a couple other moms.  Maggie walked around with Kendall.  I didn't get any other pictures.  We left earlier than the rest of the group because we don't like the scary part of Halloween and haunted houses.

 

Marching Band

Marching Band had a great season with 1's at competitions.  I took a picture of Philomena and turned the background grey to create our own portrait because Philomena got sick on the day the school did band photos.

 

LHS Choir Concert

Philomena's Choir Concert at LHS was spectacular!

Mickle Choir Concert

We enjoyed Maggie's choir concert.

 

Youth Group

Fun times hanging out with the youth group.

 

Silly Maggie

Maggie and I went to Runza.  We got kids meals which included an ice cream cone.  She took a bite off the bottom of the cone and sucked the ice cream out.  So silly!

 

Real Baby Class Assignment

Philomena brought home the baby that gives kids a realistic experience with an infant.  By 6 pm, she told me "this baby is a nightmare!"  She passed the assignment on the second try which seems so weird to me because she works in daycare and is great with kids.  Honestly, a real baby is easier to take care of because there is actually a dirty diaper and you know how long to feed the baby because it keeps screaming if it's hungry.  

Now that she's 16, she's been hired by KIDZONE.  She worked 2 days over fall break and was excited for her first paycheck.  She's used the money to buy Christmas gifts for her sisters which was so thoughtful of her.  She also bought herself a new phone case which was a responsible decision to get a higher quality one to protect her phone.

 

Youth Group

Youth group played a game where one person was blindfolded and others had to tell that person how to get to the cones.  Kendall and Maggie have become friends at church and were funny to watch working together!
