October wrap up

 

 Gator could never ever get enough swimming.  Over fall break, Rachelle invited us swimming, and Gator was the only one of my kids that got in.  Gator and three of Rachelles kids were 4 of a whole whopping 12 kids in the pool.  They had a great time!!

 Our last time at Lagoon for this year.  Every year, I think I am Lagooned out, but then the next season comes around and I miss the fun that we have and I buy season passes again.  I wonder if the boys will ever step foot in that place again, I've ruined it for their future children.  They will have to rely on their grandma to take them and show them what Lagoon is. 

 Rubbing in the fact that she didn't have school yesterday, but it was a teacher work day, so I still had to go to meetings.  I was not amused with her being in my bed, lounging when I had to go to work. 

 Costume #1.  Gator put together 3 different costumes this year, for her Halloween plans.  Last night she went to the trunk or treat with a friend, and she was Supergirl.  She came up with all her costumes on her own, and we barely spent a dime for any of them.  I just had to buy a few little things to complete what she had in mind. 

 Frank turned 21, and we went to his birthday party at Pizza Pie Cafe.  It was fun meeting his "girlfriend", one of the many he has.  It is sure fun having a friend/neighbor like Frank!

Backwards day at school.  I don't know how she did it, but she kept her shoes on the wrong feet the whole day. 

 And the game goes on.  Fremont beat Pleasant Grove yesterday and will advance to round two of the playoffs.  Next Friday they play Taylorsville.  I will have one sad boy in my house when football season is done.  I can't even think what next year will be like when it's his senior year and last year of playing football.  I hope he can play some college ball! 

 Football is still going for us, but basketball season is in full swing.  Davis has been doing great, still playing for CBA.  We found an amazing coach when we found this team.  They may not win every game, but he sure is learning a lot and not just about basketball either.  If Davis had to pick between football and basketball, basketball would win hands down.  The only problem with basketball season is in goes right through ski season.  Now that one is a hard choice for him, good thing he doesn't have to decided yet. 

 Owen seriously wanted me to buy him this stocking.  Bigger stocking, bigger treats right?  At least that is what he thought.  If he had been born in December when they send the newborn home in a Christmas Stocking, this would've been the perfect fit.  And by the way, Christmas in the stores is just weirding me out already. 

 Gator has wanted me to play Battleship every night with her.  She's so funny, the first time her strategy worked great until I found one ship then sunk them all because she had stacked them.  But, she kept trying the same strategy until I finally had to stop the game and tell her to move her ships.
