Made contact with the insurance company about the wind damage to our roof and an agent is coming out next Tuesday morning to review. Cross your fingers!

The Sussex Sundevils coach liked what he saw last Wednesday night and extended an invitation to Paige to join their U16 team. Paige also had a tryout for the Milwaukee Invaders on Saturday, but had already decided to go with Sussex. We also emailed the Columbus Xplozion coaches, turning down their offer to play there. I'm sure they understood the distance issue. We've heard rumors about an indoor tournament in the Dells so Paige is quite excited.

Paige enjoyed a couple extra days off school last week because of Teachers Convention. Didn't take long to fill up her time with back-to-back sleepovers. Friday night she was kind enough to fulfill her obligation for Family Movie Night and watched The Karate Kid with Jeff and me. I dropped off some homemade muffins at Abby's boyfriend's as he went to visit Abby last weekend. I'm glad he got out there. Abby doesn't have as much freedom to come home this year with her job at the gift shop.

Paige and I drove out to Sussex to see Bella & Lucy in their Halloween costumes before they went out trick-or-treating. I bet they had a blast - their neighborhood looked really fun! From Sussex, we went to Waukesha to meet Bryn in the PIT (eating area at Carroll) to have her sign some student loan papers that needed to be turned around fast.

I had taken all our Halloween decorations down because of that wind storm, but we got everything back in place by Sunday. I tried to get Paige to trick-or-treat with FBLA (business club at school) as they were collecting canned goods for the Food Pantry, but she couldn't find a friend that was going. Jeff and I lit the firepit we had moved onto the driveway and handed out candy from there. We kept warm by the fire drinking hot cider and when it was all over, we ate fresh-baked pumpkin pie. Perfect.

Drivers Ed classes for Paige began this past Monday. She goes every weeknight at the high school 6-8pm, so she's had to be a little more disciplined with her homework. Yep, at the end of November Paige will be 15-1/2 and can test for her temps!
