My Alma Mater Beat Yours

Actually, it was my high school alma mater against what will more than likely be my children's alma mater Friday night. It was the first time that our family went to see the Blue Devils play. We all supported the kiddos' school, well because as parents the kids and their school have taken priority!

It was a super close game! After the second overtime my alma mater won by one point.

Crafty Thursday

Yesterday was the first official day of our Fall Break from school. There were several Halloween and fall embroidery designs that I had been wanting to play around with, so yesterday I spent the day at the embroidery machine. Here are a few of the finished products.

Then last night I went back to Sips and Strokes with friends. This time we painted funky zebra Christmas trees. I think it will look super cute in AP's room or hanging on her door during the holidays.

All Skate

Friday night the kiddos were invited to their first roller skating party. I hadn't been roller skating since probably late elementary. It was so much fun! Both the kiddos loved it. AP has already asked if she can have a roller skating party at her next birthday. C incorporated some robot dance moves into his skating.

You do what you have to do to hang on.

All couples to the rink.

I have to admit that the grown ups had just as much fun as the kids!

BDP, Bike Day, and Buckets of Candy

Every other Thursday at our school is BDP, Blue Devil Pride. Everyone is encouraged to wear their Blue Devil gear. The high school football players come to the elementary classrooms and talk to the children about making good choices, doing your best, etc. They also get the kids pumped up about the upcoming game. This past week C and I had on matching outfits and I couldn't pass up a picture!

Thursday was also Bike Day at AP's school.

Friday was Homecoming for the Blue Devils. The kiddos and I met up with friends to watch the Homecoming parade. It was HOT and the parade started about 30 minutes late, but I'm sure the kiddos would say that the ton of candy they brought home was worth it :)
AP was dancing to the marching band.

We had quite a crowd of friends there!
