October is Almost Over

It seems like fall has just started, so it’s crazy that October is almost over. I’m having a Christmas sign painting party about a week before Thanksgiving, so my tree will probably go up in two weeks. I’ve already started shopping too! But we know these nice 70 degree days and 50 degree nights don’t last long in Louisiana, so I want to hold on to the fall feeling as long as I can. We didn’t do too much during our fall break. After we got back from Shanon and Alex’s we stayed around the house while I worked and the kids vegged. Which meant we had some very happy animals.

(You can see they were getting bored when Katie made the dogs a tea party 😉) I think the only time we left the house to do anything was to see a movie. Pops came that 2nd weekend of it and we watched a lot of football and he and Lilli played a lot of softball.

Matt got home to hang out with him on Sunday (he stayed until Tuesday) but he had enjoyed spending his weekend in the deer stand

Work and school were very busy but poor Lil got strep the first Friday back. I didn’t realize it was more than a cold that first day, so she couldn’t go to the doctor until Monday and ended up missing 3 days of school. Once she got those antibiotics, she was better about 24 hours later. Which was good because we had a big evening planned for Thursday (last night) and I was glad we could all be there. 



It’s been our tradition since Lilli was a baby to get pics at Asbury pumpkin patch, so we had to make it happen before the season is over. Yaya met us and we got some great pics and picked the pumpkins we will carve on Sunday. 

I dropped KJ at her last practice at Airline while the rest of us went to Nicky’s, and then we all went to watch her “BeBop With the Blue Angels” for the pre-game show. 



She and Sadie have become pretty much inseparable every weekend and had a great time doing this together. And they did amazing! We have a full few days coming up of Halloween festivities, and then it’s time to switch to the Christmas season! (That’s for your Yaya 😉❤️ 😘)

Summertime!

Yesterday was Bossier’s last day of school, but we’ve been in summer mode since they got done LEAP testing a couple of weeks ago. It’s honestly so dumb that they had 10 days of school after testing because they did NOTHING. There was a whole lot of movie watching and playing on computers. On top of the fact that grades were due over a week ago, so it’s not like there was much they could have done. We stayed out on school nights, had pool days and skipped half days to hang with Pops, or friends or just to bake.  Katie had her awards and field day last Wednesday. She ended the year with Straight A’s and a member of National Honor Society. It was so fun to watch her compete in field day events and get to meet some more of her school friends too I checked Katie, Madison and Britney out of school when it was over, and they spent the afternoon in the pool and then we all (with Koy and Lil) went to Josie’s Tball game that night. It was the second one we’d been to in a week and I swear it’...

Last Day of Summer

That’s a wrap. Summer 2019 is done and tonight is a school night. It’s been a great one. We went to the beach, Did lots of swimming, spent time with all of the cousins. But it’s time to go back and they are excited. We had Shaleigh and Lily over and went to the pool for a few hours. They had it to themselves and it was fun to spend several hours swimming and getting in one last day of play. It was also meet the teacher. Katie has Mrs. Wilhelm (top) but she is still on maternity leave until Labor Day. So for the next month she has Mrs. Huckabee who she knows because she subs and she had her several times in kindergarten. Both of Lillian‘s teachers are new to Apollo this year so we are not sure what to expect but they seemed very nice. Mrs. Winans is her homeroom and then she switches for math and science. It’s a welcome change to only have two teachers this year. Three teachers in third grade was a little much and in fact they’re not even doing that anymore. Back to school also means ba...

Bar-J and More Baseball

For Christmas last year, Pops and Honey gave his 3 daughters and 4 granddaughters a weekend at a “dude ranch” for a gift. We picked the weekend because it was Anna and Piper’s spring break and it’s harder for Anna to miss school as a Junior than the other 3. The weather couldn’t have been anymore perfect and the timing worked out perfectly for us to celebrate Allie’s 40th birthday on the 4th too. They came in Thursday and Matt grilled steaks for her actual bday. I didn’t get one picture that night but it was a nice evening. The next morning, we got up and drove to El Dorado to the ranch. It was the “rancher’s experience” and we got in 3 rides, plus the kids got to help care for all the animals Dad has his own cabin and all 7 girls were in a bunk room together. After we were settled, we went to catch the horses in a field to take them to the stable to be saddled  The wranglers were very patient considering there were 8 of us and none knew how to help very much. But there was lots of...
