Hearts

2 heart blocks per September, October, and November: She requested brights for the hearts with a white background for do.Good Stitches.  This is the last of the blocks for this year.

A Star Finish

 I loved how this Do.Good Stitches quilt turned out.  I love to see everyone's blocks come together to make something beautiful.

Parenting is not for the Faint of Heart

My youngest needed help finding glue, because he said he wanted to work on a craft project.  It turns out he and BB had broken 3 of their dresser drawers, and they thought Elmer's glue was somehow going to fix it.  That didn't end well for anyone, because then I found an exorbitant amount of food wrappers behind their bunk-bed.  The trash can next to the bed was empty.  No doubt they thought they could hide the food they weren't allowed to be eating by putting the evidence behind the bed.  It didn't work out so well for them.  This would explain why my grocery bill is astronomical.  It's not all inflation.  They're not even teenagers yet.  Sigh.

Halloween

 It was the perfect weather for Halloween - so lovely!  The kiddos were all dragons from How to Train Your Dragon: Light Fury, Night Fury, and Hook Fang.  Little Man chose to pass out candy this year.  BB pretty much ran from house to house.  Someone decorated all the stumps in our neighborhood, so it was so nice.  They're also convenient for when you get tired or bored.  






Little Lady and BB lasted the longest.

Trunk or Treat & School Party

Trunk or treat was short and sweet at church.  Because of the threat of bad weather we did it inside. Little Man wanted Halloween pjs instead of dressing up this year.

I got to help out with Little Guy's Halloween party and parade.  He's my last kiddo in elementary school, so he's soaking up all the extra attention.

Saturday Activity Madness

Today marked the final day of Fall sports.  It was a jam-packed day.  Little Guy had his final baseball game and then went straight to a ninja warrior birthday party. 
Little Lady and Little Man got to shake hands with an apostle of the Lord.  Elder Gong came and gave a youth fireside next to the temple.  They were the first ones there, so they got to talk to him as well. 

While they were at the fireside, BB had his final soccer game of the season.  He was a rockstar as goalie se entire game.  He was busy the entire game with saves and even a blocked penalty kick.  It was a tough loss for the team, but the coach actually had the team give BB a round of applause for his amazing goalie efforts.



We survived a crazy Fall season, and we're looking forward to a little more down time.  Here's a fun little diagram talking about the most difficult positions to play in sports.  We were laughing that of course BB plays three of them: soccer goalie, pitcher, and catcher.
