Paige finished up her season last week with her banquet mentioned in my last entry and Bryn finished hers Saturday placing 40th at Sectionals which wasn't high enough to get her to State. Needless to say, Bryn was disappointed. She ran hard, but the course was very hilly aggravating her feet and knees. No more practices, but the team gets together for a season-end 10-mile-run on Wednesday. Her banquet will be held in November as her coach has a vacation planned.
Paige wants an iPod so badly she's constantly asking us for ways to make money. She doesn't like that our suggestions involve working. I think she's resolved to wait until Christmas. And Paige is constantly making movies but combining pictures, transitions, movie clips and songs. Need a lot of computer power to keep that hobby up!
Bryn had a band concert this past Thursday that I was able to enjoy while Jeff accompanied Paige to a 4-H meeting. Funny to see that she is now not the tallest in her trombone section - the boys have finally sprouted up!
And Bryn received great news at her ortho appointment last week. Da da-da da!! A tentative date has been set for getting her braces off: Dec 27th!!! She's very excited.
Abby is still the social butterfly. We rely on others to pass along word of her whereabouts.
She's getting sentimental about attending her last ever football game... last ever soccer game...
Abby had her first in a series of monthly meetings at Linden Grove (nursing home) last Saturday. The meetings invite Brownie Girl Scouts to the nursing home for an activity with the residents that Abby and fellow Girl Scout, Dana, have planned. It's all toward earning the Girl Scout Gold Award. The event went better than we expected. The Brownies paraded through the halls in their costumes, we awarded prizes for different costumer categories, then we painted pumpkins with the residents.
Abby had band auditions last week to determine if she would play with the Concert or Symphonic band, and then which chair. Her band teacher jokingly told us that either Abby or her boyfriend Alex would need to be downgraded to Concert band this year. Can't have all that giddiness going on. Lucky for Abby, they are indeed placed both in the same band (Symphonic) and Abby sits right in front of Alex. Awww...
Abby just received an acceptance letter from UW-Stevens Point. She was very happy. Today she finally finished her application to Marquette. Jeff is taking Abby and her friend Ali to Stevens Point and LaCrosse this coming Thursday and Friday as they have off school for teacher's convention.
We were invited for a cookout at Kristin's tonight. We got to see how big Lucy is getting. And the progress on the basement. And Bella being shy.
Bought our pumpkins and put out decorations over the weekend. Bought candy too, but that seems to disappear rather quickly...
