Project Life October 15-31

The last half of October was so fun! Soccer, baseball, church, more baseball, Halloween. FUN! 

Here are the pictures from the last half of October - enjoy :)

 October 15 - Bennett made a goal at the soccer game! He insisted that he didn't really make the goal all by himself, but he sure did celebrate at the time :) Way to go!

 October 16 - Third Grade Bible day at church was so special! As Children's Team Leader, I was privileged to be able to read all of the names of the boys and girls receiving Bibles. Not only was Bennett in the group, but so were all of the boys that we teach each Sunday. Such a special time! (and can I mention that our boys really knew their Bible skills already ;)

 October 17 - Nighttime practice game. It was late, the boys were tired, but they played a great game (and even though we weren't really keeping score... we won!!)

October 18 - The fall colors are just starting to turn... the first color in our backyard?? Yellow!

 October 19 - We HAVE to be the #1 fan parents (along with Heather) as we braved the cold at our practice. And, yes, we cheer at practices too :)

 October 20 - One of my favorite times of each day - picking Bennett up from carpool! Love.

 October 21 - Even Brad helped me make these braids for the Fall Fun Fest at school.

 Oct 22 - We celebrated Mooma's birthday with a friendly game of Chinese Checkers. Board games are the best!

October 23 - After Bennett's baseball game, we went to the Foundry Dental Center for their open house. Bennett really enjoyed trying out my chair ;)

 October 24 - Just a little TV watching in the football helmet. Why not?

 October 25 - We have been saving our boxtops and labels for the Auburn/Alabama contest at school... I mean, we've been saving them since this time last year :) War Eagle!!  Oh, and we got a little ladybug for Evie (it matches her halloween costume!)

 October 26 - I love this! Bennett wrote himself a note in his folder to remind himself to ask Mrs. Hardy a special favor ;)

 October 27 - We visited the county jail with our cub scouts. It was interesting in more ways than one... We were SUPER proud of Bennett's behavior. He's pretty sure that he never wants to end up in jail ;)

October 28 - We made special treats for Bennett's class for Monday. I love having him help me with goodies like these!

 October 29 - Fall Fun Fest at school!! Not only did we have a super fun time, but we also got to see Bennett's first Bluebird Choir performance. They sang so beautifully!

 October 30 - picture #1 - The Sluggers' last game of the season and Bennett got to bunt for the first time! We didn't win, but we sure were proud of all of the boys for a wonderful season! Thanks Coach Kevin!

 October 30 - picture #2 - Trunk or Treat at church!! We left the baseball game and went straight to set up our trunk... as a Star Wars trunk, of course!!  I love that Bennett plans the whole thing - and takes so much care in placing all of the vehicles and characters in their places. While I might not understand the process, each little boy that stopped by said "Bennett is REALLY good at that!" :)

 October 31 - HaLLoWEen!! Yea! We were so happy to go and trick or treat with our friends again this year. We are very blessed. And the candy was good too...
