Ready for November!

I erased our October calendar yesterday, and was happy to say good-bye to it!  Lots of busy-ness and lots of commitments that are over with for now.  We had a good month, don't get me wrong!  I just had many things I seemed to be in charge of and they all took place within 2 weeks of each other:  planning the 3rd grade Halloween party, getting publicity out about our women's brunch at church, planning our MomTime gathering at church, coordinating a gift for the first grade teacher whose father passed away, and then throw in a couple of subbing days and my great uncle's funeral to attend.  I could have gone to my cousin's wedding in MO, too!

My brain was on planning overload - so much so that I forgot that our 10th anniversary is today!  I happened to see the date on an e-mail this morning and mentioned it to Chelan, who had also forgotten!  Good thing we're going to Dallas/Ft. Worth next weekend to celebrate.  Otherwise, I would have been disappointed!  

So far, the calendar for November is pretty empty.  Unless, you take into consideration that I have to plan for when Chelan and I are gone next weekend and that Shammi is supposed to have puppies around Thanksgiving and that Caiden may have some basketball practices (if they find a coach - Chelan's not convinced he wants to do that, but I think he's the last option)!

Maybe November is just as busy - bring it on, I guess!

Here are some pictures from Halloween:




Halloween parade at school
Nice costume, huh?  He doesn't get into
Halloween very much - kind of like me.
So, I finally told him he could be a K-State
fan.  The hat and jersey were the only
things we had, though.
Delaney was supposed to be a tiger, but she finally
decided to be a ballerina.  She danced for practically
everyone she saw at church that night!
Everyday is Halloween for her!
Cambry thought her pumpkin needed her fireman's hat!

Pre-Christmas Surprise

 On Dec. 22, I woke up to Caiden not feeling well. In fact, he said he hadn't ever felt the kind of pain he was experiencing that morning. Reluctantly, I made an appointment. Long story, short - it was good he complained because he ended up having his appendix out that afternoon! It must have been at the very beginning stages and thankfully hadn't burst. So, we were in and out of the hospital by midnight that night. Maybe the worst part about the whole thing is that his wisdom teeth surgery had to be postponed since it was supposed to be the very next week. He'll go back to school minus an appendix, but still having his wisdom teeth until February 16! Pre-op Post-op

Mid-Summer Happenings

 I'm trying to remember that I craved "slow and easy" days during the school year, and I feel like that's what I've had this summer. It has been refreshing to wake up in the morning and have a flexible to-do list; although I have to admit that some days do feel long. I suppose that helps me appreciate my teaching job! In not particular order, here's what we've been up to: Endless fixing and revamping in the shop: Digging up potatoes and pulling up a generous onion crop! Look at the size of that potato! The 4th of July fireworks were outdone by the sky this year! Enjoying my walks at sunset: Many, many green beans to can and pickle. Thanks to the girls for cleaning and stemming them! I had been keeping tabs on an Oriole nest near the garden, and one Sunday, I witnessed the "fly-away!" It was a noisy affair as the parents and babies kept calling back and forth. I almost can't get over the fact that I had time to stand and watch the whole affair

League Champs!!

 Delaney and her teammates had an amazing volleyball season! They ended the season undefeated in the Wheat State League, and they only lost 2 matches overall. They had a notable win over Moundridge, 2 wins over Elyria, and THREE wins over Little River - all teams we have had trouble with in the past. They were so fun to watch, working as a team and developing throughout the season, and they ended as the league tournament champs. Thanks to Raechel Boese and Tara Churchill for their work with these ladies. What a fantastic way to end Delaney's middle school volleyball days! The immediate aftermath of a 3-set win over Elyria for  the League Championship! A Team 8th Graders Team Selfie Coaches Churchill and Boese Scenes from the BIG win over Moundridge:
