Welcome Back, Buddy!

Harper was excited for our elf, Buddy, to be back at our house. 


Harper read the book, but I don't think Presley and Rylan were paying close attention. 


Buddy left her a note that told her shew as on the nice list. 









Basketball Week-End

All four kids had basketball games this week-end. 
From Thursday to Sunday, we watched NINE games!
Ry was in a tournament in Ephrata and played in 4 games,  Presley and Logan each had 2, and Harper had her one final rec league game. 










Saturday at Southridge High School










Stage Kids: Beauty and the Beast

Back in September I found out that Stage Kids was allowing a small group of 3rd graders to be part of the ensemble for Beauty and the Beast. 
They didn't have to try out, the practices were close to our house, it was one day a week, and it would give Harper a chance to try out Stage Kids. 
Her group danced in the "Be Our Guest" song and in the finale.  
I thought it was a great opportunity for her. 




Harper was in 4 shows from Thursday, November 29th-Sunday, December 2nd.

I texted this picture to Presley to make sure I did her stage make up okay. 
Presley was on the bus on her way to her game in Pasco. 
Sunnyslope Elementary 5th graders came to watch during Thursday's matinee performance.  
These 3 love Mrs. Jackson. 

Harper found Logan and I in the audience. 
Logan and I went to her Thursday evening performance. 
Harper learned how to wash her face after each evening's performance. 

Presley was back to help out with her make up for Sunday's performance. 
Harper's group of tea cups. 

I volunteered back stage for this show and did my best to keep these teacups quiet. 

Dave and Presley went to her final performance.

Final Bow


We got together one last time at the cast party on Monday night. 










Lea's Day-Lea's, Week 48 (2018)

Day 330, Monday, November 26th
We worked on a Christmas puzzle last year and was one piece short. 
It has laid on the table, waiting for me to find the same puzzle so that we could get that last piece. 
I found the exact puzzle on Amazon last week, on sale, free shipping, and thought we had a solution. 
Only problem, the new puzzle came and its the wrong size so the piece missing won't fit. 
This is kind of how this fall has felt, close to finding a solution, but coming up short!
