Fall Festival and Drill Team

The kids' school had a fall festival last week and Rick volunteered to be a part of the Trunk R Treat - of course with his jeep. So we turned it into a pirate ship - complete with a mast in front and pirate flag in back. We put all the candy into a treasure chest and the kids had to walk the plank to get it. So fun :)







Arrrrgh!


Violet also had her first Drill Team performance for a Citizenship assembly for the school. She was so cute :)






She's decided that instead of basketball, she's going to do gymnastics this winter. She still loves softball and is trying to decide what she will do for the spring season, since most of her team will be aging up to the 10-under league. It's audition only, so there's a real good chance Violet won't be on the same team as her friends. So we are weighing our options on that. I think maybe she should try a different sport in the spring anyway.

Our backyard is coming along - we've been digging and planting and building walls and trellisses and bought trees and stones and added lighting and moved our sheds... it's really going to be great when it's done. Our goal is by the end of the month... so we'd better get working! LOL :)
