After the drought we had here in Indiana this summer, I was not expecting a pretty fall. I expected all the leaves to just turn brown and fall, but I'm happy to say I was wrong! It was gorgeous here all month. Unfortunately, between sessions and Joey's football games, we didn't have nearly as much time as I would have liked to enjoy it, but we did our best.
Jack finally wrote his name...once. His daddy worked with him and got him to do it, but every time I suggest it he says "maybe later."
The biggest news of the month: My son is a Superbowl champ! His team (the South Vermillion Steelers) won the Wabash Valley Youth Football League Superbowl this year! They didn't have a great year last year, so we weren't really expecting this, but they did so good this year! They only lost one game all season, and it was only by 1 point (and they lost it to the team that was undefeated until the superbowl). So we're super super proud of Joey and the rest of the team this year. They worked so hard!
My accident-prone boy made it through the whole football season with no injuries, then the day after the superbowl was carving pumpkins at a scout meeting and cut his hand. One week and three stitches later, he's as good as new.
Funny faces from Jack. He's such a silly kid.
What's October without a leaf fight or two?
And last but not least, Halloween. This year wasn't nearly as awesome as last year's Star Wars theme (Yoda, Luke Skywalker, Queen Amidala, and Mace Windu), but they were still pretty cute. Jack wasn't really a fan of his Darth Vader mask so he didn't keep it on for long. Jonah got really hot in his chicken costume, but he was SO CUTE! He even won the award for best sibling costume at Joey's cub scout pack meeting. Abbie was a super pretty butterfly. Joey was a ninja. In case you didn't know, nine-year-old boys really like ninjas. Two other boys in his cub scout den had the same costume.
Abbie started dance class with a new teacher this month. She really likes it but I haven't taken any photos yet. We had our family photos taken (by the fabulous Julie Lawson) and she took some of her in her dance outfit too. I've only seen a little sneak peek so far, but I think I'm going to love them!
I hope you had a wonderful October too and hope you're ready for the crazy holiday season!
Join me on facebook as I share 30 Days of Thanksgiving with photos. I'd love to hear about what you're thankful for too!
