Looking Back at October

It's crazy to me that October is almost over!  We've stayed busy this month.  Coleman has been playing soccer this fall, Spence joined Boy Scouts, and Allie is getting ready for her ballet recital in a few weeks!   The first weekend in October, Brian and the boys went to the Houston Grand Prix.  It was HOT, but fun for them.  They even got to see a crash or two!

They got the Grand Prix tickets when Spence joined Boy Scouts.  He had decided he didn't want to play any sports, but we wanted him to have an activity that was his own.  He has several friends in his pack and is enjoying all their activities!

Oral ID was a sponsor in an Oral Cancer Walk in Houston, so Brian had t-shirts made.  Sure, Spence and Allie wore their t-shirts backwards, but they were there representing for Oral ID!

Allie's class took a field trip to a pumpkin patch, which is one of my favorite things!  It was even a tad cool that day!  I'm realizing that we're doing a lot of "lasts."  This was my last trip to the pumpkin patch with a preschool class.  I'm trying to cherish all these moments this year!

Last Friday the weather was gorgeous, so we decided we had to go to a high school football game.  Unfortunately our high school wasn't playing at the field that's less than a mile from our house.  But fortunately there are lots of other high schools around here and there was a game there.  All we have to tell the kids is that they'll get a treat from the concession stand and they're ready to go! Coleman is really into football so he and Brian watched the game and talked about plays.  Spence played with his popcorn bucket and Sprite bottle, and Allie enjoyed the marching band.  We saw one of Allie's preschool teachers and a family from our church.  It's fun that we've lived here long enough that we see people we know almost every place we go!
