We went to the cross country state meet for junior high to cheer on Elliott and the Eureka girls.
Staley joined the International Thespian Society and attended a one-day leadership workshop with some of her NTA theater friends.
I chaperoned Adelie's 4th grade field trip to Springfield to visit Lincoln's tomb, Lincoln's house, the old State Capitol building, and New Salem.
I've realized that the older I get, the less comfortable school buses are.
On the plus side, the sites were interesting and my group of kids was easy.
We got together to celebrate October birthdays with my family.
Adelie got chosen for Safety Patrol at school this quarter, so she has been ensuring safety and rule following in the hallways before and after school. She also got selected to be part of the Hornet Buzz, the school news team. It was a big month for Adelie!
Adelie shared her testimony and pictures from her baptism at church one Sunday.
We took advantage of the nice fall weather to enjoy Briggs' activity of choice...a trip to bicycle safety town and dinner at Culver's.
There have been school projects and activities, like this diorama Adelie made of the book 'Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry."
The rest of our October has been full with our plethora of weekly activities and trying to fit in all the fall fun before the weather turns, including attending a few more football games and cross country meets, playing outside with neighbors, and trying to keep up with the raking.
It was a busy month, but full of many of our fall favorites.
