Holiday Spice: November 19th

Back in September Presley was asked to participate in a Wenatchee Christmas show. 

Only 12 girls were asked out of the whole Stage Kids production so it was kind of a big deal for Presley. 

She practiced Wednesdays and Sunday evenings.

Thursday night was her performance. 

They sang, danced, and did a skit that involved a Christmas medley based in the 1950's. 

Logan had a basketball game so Dave went and watched that. 

Harper, Rylan and I went out to eat and met them there. 

As we left.  

She wanted to do her own stage make-up tonight. 

With her friends Ella and Ainsley. 

Presley during her speaking part. 

The final pose. 

When I went to pick her up she struck a pose. 

So glad this one was born with zero personality :)

I took the kids to the school book fair and Ry picked out a book that had a special pen that wrote invisible, but could light the words up with a special magic light. 

Day 311, Saturday, November 7th

A busy sports day for Rylan.  

Basketball game at 10 AM. 

Soccer game in Moses Lake at 1:00. 

He won both. 

I love the soccer picture because he's giving a high five to 6 year Chris after he made the assist to Chris to score his only goal of the season. 

Day 312, Sunday, November 8th

Dad, Logan, and Harper were in rainy Seattle for Saturday and Sunday for Logan's games. 

Dad had to buy a new hat and umbrella to stay dry. 

Logan won one and lost one game this weekend. 

Day 313, Monday, November 9th

Dad sent out a group text message to remind the parents of no practice on Wednesday because of Veterans Day and the school gym would be closed. 

One of the parents wrote this back, and I thought it was so nice. 

Day 314, Tuesday, November 10th

A very cold, but filled pool. 

Sure wish it was September 10th and we could jump in. 

Day 315, Wednesday, November 11th

No school because of Veteran's Day meant keeping the kids busy.

Trick or Treat!!

After we got home from the boys' wet wet wet soccer games, we opened up our little Halloween goodies. 

These two received a package of Pokemon Cards. 

Logan received some breath spray from the Lindholm's. 

He was sharing with Rylan, but wouldn't let Ry do it on his own. 

We carved pumpkins, ate dinner, and put our pumpkins out front. 

Dave, Logan, and his friend Colby stayed home to pass out candy. 

I took Presley, Ry, and Harper around our neighborhood. 

It didn't rain one bit while we were out. 

We had so much fun!!

I love that we live in a neighborhood with lots of kids!!

Luke Skywalker, a nerd, and a cowgirl were my dates for the evening. 

They were on a mission!

We snuck up to our house for our last trick or treat stop. 

Daddy tried to close the door on us. 

We drove over to see Grandma and Papa. 

Logan did not want to dress up this year, but he was happy to wear pumpkin socks with shorts all night. 

I was happy to get this picture text from Amy. 

Our beautiful cousins!!

We had a really fun Halloween night!!

Carving Pumpkins: October 31st

Logan and Rylan each had a home soccer game today. 

Thankfully, they were on the same field and at the same time. 

It rained and rained the entire game time, but as we were leaving, there was a short sun break. 

The both got wins today. 

When we got home, Dave heated up the garage and set up the pumpkins on a folding table and we got to work. 

And laughed when Ry came out in his underwear and full surgical gear. 

Harper was done first so she thought Logan's pumpkin might need a little help. 

Scary pumpkin face, happy pumpkin face, profile of Dracula, and a kitty

Logan, Presley, Rylan, and Harper

We were ready for trick-or-treaters!
