Summer came and went. Time marched on. The start of a new School year, marked with change yet again. We have 3 in high school this year! Can't believe it! We have a senior, a sophomore, and a freshman. They are all growing so quickly and discovering new interests. Jill has returned to brick and mortar schooling. So far it has proved to be a good change for us both. We celebrated homecoming, Go Vikes! The band kids were in the parade and everyone else watched. The kids all went to the game. I don't recall the score, but the Forest Grove Vikings won the game. The high school kids went to the dance as a group. Chad had a date with a lovely young lady and Rachel had a friend go and sleep over. It was fun for them all.
Halloween has come and gone yet again. I just couldn't get into it this year. I have no idea why. Oh that is not quite true. The kids really didn't get that into it either.
I think Alice got into it the most! She was Spiderman. Chad just couldn't come up with a real costume so he was a greaser from the 50's. Rachel was a witch, yet again. Grace said she wanted to be a homicidal maniac, after all they look just like everyone else. It was an attempt at a line from one of the Adams Family movies, so she went as Wednesday Adams. Jill was a Prom Queen again and not happy at picture time. Poor thing wanted to be a Monster High girl. I had said we could buy a costume before I knew it would be about $30! NO Way am I paying more for a costume than I do on the candy we hand out.
time is Marching on. I have hit the big 4 0!!! Wow that is a big number and a bit strange to say. So far so good. I had a most lovely little celebration with my dear family. And now we are moving on to Thanksgiving and Christmas! I am so thrilled to be working towards Christmas. I am looking forward to it as much as ever. I can't wait to share more about our holidays as they come about.
