I eat all the candy(because zero self control), pumpkins are messy, and costumes are expensive and yet cheap looking.

Also, isn’t pumpkin carving a dad job? Why do Em and I have to yell at the men folk EVERY year to supervise and help? And why do the kids still come to us for help? That’s a rhetorical question that I obviously know the answer to.

However, when she said Miranda Sings, I had no idea who/what that was! Turns out she’s a Youtuber with a very distinct look. I actually got a little into this costume because 1. Sof was so excited and set on it, and 2. It was doable and practical. I ordered some basic sweats on Amazon, got some iron letters, ordered the official Miranda Sings t-shirt and cut out the picture to iron on the sweatshirt. Behold, I give you the closest I’ll ever come to “making” a costume.</p><p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TUynv5Mwjqo/W_4KnqNlgdI/AAAAAAAAlZ8/qWhpI_y35NkJC3zrPEz0FXK-zCHXT7iGQCHMYCw/s1600-h/BC67DA0F-85A0-4A61-9EBE-65B363BBFF81%255B4%255D"><img width="465" height="465" title="BC67DA0F-85A0-4A61-9EBE-65B363BBFF81" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" alt="BC67DA0F-85A0-4A61-9EBE-65B363BBFF81" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vtvVKqMIfsQ/W_4KoOrlV6I/AAAAAAAAlaA/uK0hPT4glxct2lsOTlN1Si18xY6rsr8RACHMYCw/BC67DA0F-85A0-4A61-9EBE-65B363BBFF81_thumb%255B2%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a></p><p>In case you, like me, do not know who Miranda Sings is, trust me-this is pretty damn good.</p><p>Our neighbors invited us to the Halloween party at their club.

Parents head up the groups and help guide their choices and make it happen. I was the Halloween party parent and Sof was on the committee. I missed the first planning meeting because I forgot. I’m reliable like that. I made up for it later though and the party was a success!

Now, what’s special about vodka is that it looks like water.” –Unknown</p><p>October brought some big changes for us. We quit cheer. There are as many reasons as there are feelings about this. I do not believe in quitting, and I have NEVER let my kids walk away from anything. However, cheer consumes all of our expendable income and time, so it needs to be making us happy. It wasn’t. So with LOTS of thought and discussion, we decided to walk away. Sof misses her team. Not sure what the future holds for her in this sport, but she is tumbling with a private coach and working through her mental blocks, so we’ll see. In the mean time she is trying a lot of other things too! Lexi has more time for studying and got a job as a hostess at a very nice restaurant our friends own.

Sof and Scarlette were besties in class last year, but Scarlette’s family moved over the summer. We had one play date, but I couldn’t find her mom’s phone number. Sof has missed Scarlette desperately. Scarlette had written her new address in Sof’s yearbook(so old school, LOL) and Sof wrote her a letter. Like paper and pencil people. Scarlette wrote her back and included her facetime address. On her actual bday, Sof was able to finally face time with Scarlette. During the conversation I got her mom’s phone number, and the morning of Sof’s party I confirmed Scarlette could come!

I wish you would pick up after yourself. Maybe 10 will be the year you stop leaving a trail everywhere you go. Yeah, I didn’t think so. It’s hard to complain because I love the projects you get in to. The other night you spent hours listening to the song your teacher has on her website and writing down every state and it’s capital as you listened. On your birthday you asked me if your other parents are still alive. “Maybe they are thinking, hey, it’s our daughter’s birthday today”, you said. Just matter of factly. You are wondering. I am too. I was honest, I don’t know. I really don’t. However, there are so many things I do know. You like Littlest Pet Shop still, you love to follow YouTube directions to make crafts, you love the book series Weird School and can read one in a day. You want daddy to snuggle you every night before bed. You love your sisters and your cousins. You have the kindest, funniest friends. Who you surround yourself with says a lot about who you are. I love the choices you have made and I love you! You are an awesome kid and I can’t wait to see what you do with your first double digit year! </p><p>Love, Mommy XOXO</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318857944577885055.post-20220764504200935482018-11-06T05:30:00.001-08:002018-11-06T05:30:18.824-08:00Homecoming<p>Lexi’s homecoming was a big success!

I spent quite some time thinking about what I wanted our front room to look and function like. My main wish was to have a large round coffee table. Luckily I couldn’t find what I wanted in the stores, which led me to seek out someone to make it for me. All the rocks are ones I’ve collected up north, and the design was worked out over several meetings with the builder. This is my dream table and I think that our kids will fight over it when we’re gone.</p><p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pIHADPw-Tlg/W7ki7O6n9uI/AAAAAAAAlAs/CX8lLcLoNO0-jcUd98jbh9sFwcPt_RU_wCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_0177%255B4%255D"><img width="468" height="352" title="IMG_0177" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_0177" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IeNQv5TrUtM/W7ki7cpJ3iI/AAAAAAAAlAw/wAI9KP9fPLMADErfz7sj2SRid9xG3qdZQCHMYCw/IMG_0177_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uzD5ekrA2eU/W7ki7jvqNdI/AAAAAAAAlA0/Go0__cLQPGwKWM6VHZRdpG2M7QNxO8lUQCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_0178%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_0178" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_0178" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CZ4iv6cz91k/W7ki780yklI/AAAAAAAAlA4/OLkO8RHUhUYUki2Q7h6H_6KaAHk94Sd_QCHMYCw/IMG_0178_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-H-Fm6PMfB4k/W7ki8XOhjHI/AAAAAAAAlA8/ZZ6bW6YQ_UYYlwNJy6nCRRtUCJLtz-ulgCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_0179%255B4%255D"><img width="471" height="354" title="IMG_0179" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_0179" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wZ4X3l24je4/W7ki8r4nRXI/AAAAAAAAlBA/kOEZAp9nQlIwyM4H4I7sAbZHRwxZNKLiwCHMYCw/IMG_0179_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a></p><p>I love the new room and it’s getting all sorts of use all ready!

It was big ships day for the Coast Guard festival so we got to see them come in! </p><p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-r-gm2A_PBnM/W2eGdI92c5I/AAAAAAAAks0/ZiH-41brttUuXkd3SfbmBNEZ-rK--AXaQCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_6235%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_6235" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_6235" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0bKFQ-dvYIc/W2eGePWQOqI/AAAAAAAAks4/ZRcMYvEF2306zzwUzT12O5DQsBqdBQxTQCHMYCw/IMG_6235_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_k7T1saAsDs/W2eGfMF0N7I/AAAAAAAAks8/L2-V56wPoj0cio5mEQA8ErePvpBtbkbQACHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_6237%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_6237" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_6237" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eX3i5jYUy3E/W2eGfx3Zz6I/AAAAAAAAktA/m5LoW9faQc04NEbAVdd6efgzCFdh0G4lQCHMYCw/IMG_6237_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_Map2UsUTF0/W2eGg-EIe6I/AAAAAAAAktE/MpJmhRWEMFIwi2rciEFZ3UDvhxunBdtbACHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_6238%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_6238" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_6238" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EmwqzpC6NL8/W2eGhz2DIKI/AAAAAAAAktI/UcH4QT24F5QiI2XXi8HSEMBNZyqbdZzdwCHMYCw/IMG_6238_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-U5flqr7gRe0/W2eGiulIQoI/AAAAAAAAktM/R3WRQ3TG2a8C5yej4zG7IJ38FvQjF16cgCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_6240%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_6240" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_6240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UlRYdLUfYzM/W2eGjb7JItI/AAAAAAAAktQ/99oZQrwu1TwbqPzjodsaYCWz35Nju72ZgCHMYCw/IMG_6240_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sLbA9coZbjM/W2eGkVO76RI/AAAAAAAAktU/rCCy4V_uC3olV12VaDde7R6C1PKAqUaqwCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_6241%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_6241" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_6241" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NiwUBZMkPg8/W2eGlHCO0zI/AAAAAAAAktY/FhZVlcsFRiglvxQKcpzYy-6jP39wx-bWgCHMYCw/IMG_6241_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5NRKKuBdm5o/W2eGl6GjbzI/AAAAAAAAktc/EixOLAtwmNItYJD-iZ_01Bl-pSycDSg0QCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_6242%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_6242" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_6242" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VGczlcX1xdM/W2eGm72CRzI/AAAAAAAAktg/h6OD7NeVPxUiENsYp31t-qV2PTzYLkPUwCHMYCw/IMG_6242_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a> We went downtown and shopped a bit, had dinner, and picked out candy!

They also picked cheap, stupid places to stay, but that’s all I’m going to say about that. Let’s just ignore that part for the sake of preserving the memories that were really awesome without all those expletives and bitterness in the way…mmmk? </p><p>First of all, I need to note that our kids were SO GOOD. Now, I realize they should be, duh, they’re not babies. But we spent about 18 hours driving together over 4 days, the weather put a wrench in some of our plans, and there was a lot of waiting involved. I love our people and their ability to coexist and go with the flow.<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EbzBR3Wlq4s/W1SOxRBiGOI/AAAAAAAAkV0/MDNuRGmD1KYQagCsBxn4Y_SjOZ04o65WwCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_4238%255B6%255D"><img width="468" height="352" title="IMG_4238" style="display: inline;

We decided to make the trek all the way home versus stopping another night. We still had two stops on the way though! First up was Kitch-iti-kipi or Big Springs. It’s a beautiful spring that you can see clear to the bottom of! There’s a glass bottom boat that goes out and back on a rope that is controlled by passengers spinning a wheel. Super quick stop, but worth seeing!</p><p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-y6oHtDKks_w/W1SQeV7JdpI/AAAAAAAAkgU/yoJUfjLG_VMuylxFaqkl6y3LO_nvw9zmwCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_5909%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_5909" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_5909" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DSU9RJGL6aQ/W1SQe_LGG0I/AAAAAAAAkgY/pQaNHxGAfQQY0Q1h-JPpVJZT6IWFQrEkwCHMYCw/IMG_5909_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ucrI4uH3-Ko/W1SQfrSQoPI/AAAAAAAAkgc/TsJAhXZRSLAGwbcGE-qwES0Bq2i4YxdgwCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_5910%255B4%255D"><img width="468" height="352" title="IMG_5910" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_5910" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-D61dTM1vMvE/W1SQgUCDLoI/AAAAAAAAkgg/WskGZROZtDQqzgxot4OvYeB2NK5a8Fc8ACHMYCw/IMG_5910_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-69c4z85eB7g/W1SQhO1MDXI/AAAAAAAAkgk/ylm68t5omIkoBwskfD_uDg6s38xPRAVpACHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_5912%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_5912" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_5912" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zyCUKaaK3fc/W1SQho6d_tI/AAAAAAAAkgo/CyneUwfEO7YNd-OQ94CD8WVHyZF99e1cwCHMYCw/IMG_5912_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-U40eRqnCd2w/W1SQiN2_p2I/AAAAAAAAkgs/wmysajisz8Qnq1QA-zVszWykNIHg3vu8wCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_5914%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_5914" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_5914" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-85ey5fa4YDE/W1SQiy2rF7I/AAAAAAAAkgw/ZpQRlvJGgMYn2SVjXiMxIEuz_OElGygHQCHMYCw/IMG_5914_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JTRcyL-X-gs/W1SQjXXMvHI/AAAAAAAAkg0/50f2K-v0xqAYc0HFHrd5XDj7kTSuaY-fQCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_5916%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_5916" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_5916" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O4ycLI7fmZw/W1SQkAq_zzI/AAAAAAAAkg4/TH9Pf0yzjBAl6ZtIyZkpEOUzOMYc3cXVwCHMYCw/IMG_5916_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ji3eF1PD-OI/W1SQknWnnBI/AAAAAAAAkg8/4bVImfSCO_AR9YO_ehROA_IjHt9MxWkqwCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_5920%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_5920" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_5920" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hXDyIozpjmk/W1SQlEOm85I/AAAAAAAAkhA/yQoz27T_bcsDQEJ2ypUcqvQexbveUpgtwCHMYCw/IMG_5920_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a></p><p>Then it was back across the bridge for a quick stop in Mackinac City for dinner and a little shopping. </p><p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZNfbAPrAnb0/W1SQluHxCzI/AAAAAAAAkhE/vsXBrx_PAUMj8KttLiRIVNr6_tRZ7eXowCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_5921%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_5921" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_5921" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kERW4_VFSNg/W1SQmbXZFVI/AAAAAAAAkhI/lP0Qcu3LH-I-G0HFcpInNF02RUeU9pDagCHMYCw/IMG_5921_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a></p><p>It was a long trek back, but everyone was great and we arrived home by 11pm.

It fell on a Wednesday this year so it was confusing for everybody when to celebrate it. We chose to go before because Adrienne could join us, and I wanted to be home to help her get ready to leave for Sri Lanka on the 8th. </p><p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YjpYzuH1DJU/W0tS7pt9RPI/AAAAAAAAkPY/Krs0Y-ZIpcEzOd3USYV-CH2FPHBhzqtmACHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_5239%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_5239" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_5239" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ym_vLKXE7oI/W0tS8SnRe_I/AAAAAAAAkPc/s-4mAbid3oEH5dtHtdXRpa5B2RLoW0RxQCHMYCw/IMG_5239_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a></p><p>Another benefit was that we could take the boat. Brian was going to have it on the 4th and after, so the plan was for us to have it first and switch with him on our way down state and his way up state. It was a genius plan really. That is until the trailer axel broke half way through our drive. The boat and trailer spent the next three 90+ degree days in a parking lot of a body shop 2 hours away. It was a serious bummer. However, we don’t need it to enjoy our time there!</p><p>There’s a little hidden beach we go to. You park on the side of the road and walk down through the trees. It’s perfect and has some Petoskey stones!</p><p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nk53y-jc4xA/W0tS9ej7bLI/AAAAAAAAkPg/1pXUg52ZMFYwc3lWxX2UDPVKve4UgzVAQCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_5242%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_5242" style="margin-right: auto;

The only reason I remembered is because I have a picture of my clean kitchen that I sent to Amy after she left. It was such a disaster, but cleaned up quick!

For lots of reasons(pregnancy, 2 littles at home already, shoulder surgery for Dave), Anne had no thought whatsoever that Joni would be able to come to her retirement party. Little did she know, it had been scheduled around all of the variables so that Joni could actually be there. I picked her up at the airport in the morning, and we surprised Anne at her school in the lounge on her lunch hour. It was such great fun! The next part of the surprise was that there were teachers covering her room for the entire afternoon so we could take her out to lunch! Em met us too!</p><p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-utHiLTctdhI/W0KBLZxubEI/AAAAAAAAjvE/PpYw5woBZvAuo27DE4Zo28jhYk05fpAhACHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_4489%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_4489" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_4489" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SfE8pyendLY/W0KBMIyFwjI/AAAAAAAAjvI/viQx07pC0N8YUd2geA3eDZLaoYQJAlHRQCHMYCw/IMG_4489_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a>That night there was party for her. </p><p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-i2ke7IuUgus/W0KBNKNCZDI/AAAAAAAAjvM/p4Zy660gEg03a-rvwlVVYGotfszTe6vywCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_4495%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_4495" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_4495" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DpAaOMDOGEw/W0KBN6VRe4I/AAAAAAAAjvQ/QiXbuAQOHKQwyHMFRbVJ3CxcRnNkpf6hQCHMYCw/IMG_4495_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UkBYU26B4Oc/W0KBO8ZhCrI/AAAAAAAAjvU/pJPDHVmvOZY_bzMtaYKDPGnAYg2WR6ClwCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_4497%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_4497" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_4497" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vVVl4hkYHFI/W0KBPpaGXeI/AAAAAAAAjvY/C8VmkT41GeAfwzUY3p5lyKCgkHZoMZ7nwCHMYCw/IMG_4497_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--4RVTHt4pAs/W0KBQe91ulI/AAAAAAAAjvc/W8ox9ZWwWuMHZ6UPigoI_rg70C2J-TbuACHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_4501%255B4%255D"><img width="364" height="484" title="IMG_4501" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_4501" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TvDAlWp5isM/W0KBRQDQYKI/AAAAAAAAjvg/uls4bAWKrmgvgRU7KFzYPtrebC9yoEtFwCHMYCw/IMG_4501_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K4ySZiZ7MZg/W0KBS5fkn9I/AAAAAAAAjvo/R7yZpo_d-AoUCDCsCs6v2gTU8sTOKlSPQCHMYCw/s1600-h/IMG_4505%255B4%255D"><img width="471" height="354" title="IMG_4505" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" alt="IMG_4505" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gZWMUQjRXns/W0KBTsPIE8I/AAAAAAAAjvs/NuJJ7KiOnbAu2HjcKOSXfe-BmNImR2tfwCHMYCw/IMG_4505_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" border="0"></a> The next day was Kaitlyn’s birthday.

However there were a few other notable moments, like my staff charity volleyball game. I remember well the first year I was at this school and participated in the game. We needed to win the third game and I assumed we would put our best players in(of which I am not). Several colleagues said to me, “The kids just like to see their teachers play. It’s fine.” Ummmmmm, hell no. Kids like to win just like grown ups. Winning is fun. We got the trophy back a couple years ago and I’m determined to keep it! This years game was amazing.
