Hello!!!
So I was thinking back to the old days of how I'd write a nice long posts and then insert my pictures into the post. I tried for about 3 minutes to arrange the pics and then gave up. Mama doesn't have time for this!! So I'll just write a bit here and post the pics all boring-like. :) Maybe whenever I retire from this position I can go back to the more creative blogging.
It's been a good year. I suppose every year is good in its own way. I was scrolling through all the pictures used from this blog. Wow, lots of amazing memories, even if simple. We are truly blessed.
Alright, so the pics. You'll see a boatload of tomatoes. These are leftovers that I had to get off the tomatoes plants before they froze. It was a much better gardening year. I guess I am figuring out how to work with this climate and being back to container gardening. It was so nice to be growing things again. My farmer buddy enjoyed it too.
For Halloween we had a knight, which is cool because we are studying the Middle Ages this year. We also had a referee. She had some other, much more creative ideas, but alas, the time and available materials, meh. We'll try again next year. She had a fun time out with all her friends anyhow and came home with an obscene amount of candy. The younger crowd was at the All Saints Day festival at our parish. That was a sweet time!
Oh yeah and we had a very early dump of snow.
This weekend we had a busy weekend while Doug was away in Wisconsin visiting family. The Fall Ball. So. Much. Fun. 400 dancers, spots filled up in two days. Lots didn't get in. Safe to say that homeschooling is exploding these days.

| Doug ran into dear family friends while dropping by the cemetery in Wisconsin. |
 |
| Isn't our girl gorgeous? She's becoming more so inside and out. I love her so! |
 |
| The group we sent to the ball. |
 |
| The girls. |
This fall we had girls basketball, boys soccer, karate, and swimming going on all at the same time. It was nuts, but we survived. Phew!
 |
| Mace got some quality bleacher time. I have fond memories of plenty of bleacher time myself. |
The pictures are all out of order. It's a pain to move them. Not going to do it. Sorry.
 |
| The bow tie boys. |
 |
| The poor boys were kept outside waiting for the girls FOREVER! |
 |
| Some of the moms of the dance attendees. |
Um, yeah, so we adopted a furry playmate on Sunday. Doug still wants a dog, but that will be a much more complicated process.
Coach with some of her basketball players. Middle school and high school.
