Somehow, I've let another month pass by without any blogging. The days seem to just blur together and fly by, especially during this time of the year. We are in full busy season at work, and we seem to stay busy just about every evening at home.
October was a pretty good month. We had great weather and enjoyed lot of football games in the yard, walks, and just trying to be outside as much as possible to enjoy the weather.
Elliott wrapped up his soccer season a couple weeks ago. He had a lot of fun on his team, and the boys really improved over the season. There were some tough games to sit through, but overall, it was a fun season!
Emma has started basketball for the year. This year, Hannah T and Hannah P are on the same team as Emma, as well as most of the girls from last year. Emma's basketball team is pretty fun to watch, and they have improved a lot since last year. They already played in a tournament at Jefferson High School a couple weekends ago. They did pretty well. They lost all three games, but they were playing against travel teams and pretty tough competition. They've had some practices, and then they started their regular season last week, and lost their game by 2 points. It was a heartbreaker, but they played pretty well. They still have room for improvement, but they are holding their own.
We had another good Halloween this year. Jim and Barb came over like they usually do, and we had Taco Soup and ice cream. Hannah T came over to trick or treat with Emma. They dressed up as Iowa Hawkeyes Basketball Players and they ran around the neighborhood together trick or treating. John and I went around with Elliott, who randomly dressed up as a vampire. It was cold-like 32 degrees and breezy, but we had fun. We went around for a solid hour and a half, and Elliott got a huge haul of candy. We had fun.
I randomly got today off from work, so I've had a nice catch up day at home. I've been to the gym, paid some bills, cleaned, made a ham and potato soup, and caught up on blogging. I also have to make some tater tot hotdishes for the kids hot lunch at school tomorrow. It's been a busy, but productive day.
Next week is Thanksgiving already, and I really can't believe it. Time is just going to fly from now until January. We have plans to go to Dennis and Jenny's house on Thanksgiving, and then we are heading to Minnesota for the rest of the weekend.
Speaking of plans, we have Elliott's birthday party tomorrow with his friends. He is inviting Rachel and Jacob over, and we are going to go to Fazoli's and then Laser Tag at Galaxy Gaming. Then, they are both sleeping over. It should be fun, Elliott's going to love it.
So, that's what's new around here. We are in the busy season. The Christmas Tree and decorations are up, and we are feeling the holiday spirit.
