Update

I have been sewing costumes and I don't have much time to spare: we are going to a Halloween Party this Saturday! But I noticed it was time for an update.
Dan took the kids to a hockey game with the D's.

I suggested Macey stay home with me while I watch the RS broadcast, but she was VERY excited to go to the game. Once she got there the thrill was gone and asked (according to Dan) 150 times to go home!

We had a mysterious cold front move through this weekend. R, M and I stayed home from Alex's soccer game due to the cold. However, he went off and scored 3 goals!

At last month's Pack Meeting, Alex earned his religious knot. Our Bishop came to present the award to him and Matt, another boy in my Den and Primary class.

These two boys are in the same 4th grade class, math class, primary class, and cub scout den. Nico lives 2 streets over and the boys do homework together and walk back and forth to each others houses for free time. I love these boys!

In September one of our family friends moved to another city. In between houses and school districts they stayed at our house after school. The kids would play for an hour and then get to their homework. Both boys had a friend their age to play with. It really wasn't too bad having 5 kids in the house, but it was LOUD and we couldn't get as much accomplished with them around. They have finally moved to their new school, but we will miss having these boys to play with.

I found Macey reading out loud in the office last night. She loves to have us read a book 4 times in an hour and then proceed to read it to herself. She is dressed a little too warmly now that the weather has changed. But she sure is cute!
