We had homecoming the week of the 18th to the 22nd. Alice had picked her outfits, colored pictures, and laid them out days before. Monday for Alice was Super Hero day! It was tourist / cozy traveler for the middle school. Tuesday was cowboy day for Alice. The middle school was Barbie vs. Oppenheimer. Wednesday was color day for Alice her grade wore orange. The middle school was favorite athlete / sport day. Thursday was sports day for Alice. It was color day for the middle school. Kendal wore neon, Peter wore black, and Casey wore wight, I wore all three and then put on a Utah State shirt for Stricker. Friday was school spirit day for everyone. It rained all that morning, but let up enough that they kept the schedule for the parade at noon. Alice went with her class and happily came to school later with a bag of treats. Casey kept kids off the road, and I stayed on the hill / hauled in arms full of forgotten items afterwards. I was grateful for Friday, because I'd spent the whole week doing a costume change half way through the day when I had to switch schools. Kendal and Pete didn't give much effort into dress up week so most of my pictures are of Alice / Casey and I.
Kendal and Pete had a meet at home on Thursday of Homecoming week. They did a good job on their run! Casey and I didn't get to follow them throughout the course because we were at the finish line counting kids on the recording device. Kendal took 37th place out of 80, with a time of 13:26. Peter took 33rd place out of 89 runners with a time of 11:33.
Alice and I went apple picking Saturday morning (23rd). Kendal stayed home to do homework, and Casey was touching up my walls from the kids abuse these past six months. (p.s. we've been in our house six month!!) That afternoon Casey was stuck at football games all afternoon while I canned apple sauce. That night Kendal went off to watch a movie at Hope's house and we had a chill night at home.
Kendal found out Monday that she made executive leadership at school She is the secretary for her 8th grade class and the school! The kids' Cross Country meet was on Tuesday this past week. It was at four so Casey made it also! Kendal pushed through a side ache but had a decent run. Peter had a stomach ache, but pushed through in his run. Peter took 35th place out of 79 kids with a time 11:46. Kendal came in 31st place out of 74 with a time of 13:25.

Casey and I stole away for a short date night on Friday. It's been awhile since we went out. We found a Mexican restaurant we've never been to and made a nice romantic trip around the grocery store before heading home. Casey watched a movie with the kids while I studied.
Peter went to the haunted swamp with his buddies last night. They've been concocting this plan for a week or so and Gage pretty much told his mom of these epic plans expecting them to magically happen. Tina and Jade were good sports and hauled the boys to the swamp so they could get their scare on. Pete came home with all the stories and said he was only scared a couple of times ; ).
We've had a cozy couple of days watching conference at home. The kids have done a lot of art and lego's. Casey did a puzzle as well. So many good messages this fall. I loved the messages that told us to have a more eternal / celestial view of life and then live with that mindset in our lives. (Alice made her own "music" and lip-synced to the choir.
Our grass is coming in, and were hoping for some more growth this month before things freeze and stop for the winter season.
