Megan started selling "Yuda Bands" for FCCLA this week.  Every sale helps fund the education of a kid named Alfred in Africa.  She got a cool shirt to help promo the bracelets and they've had a table set up during lunches and at the football game.  She's out there changing the world! Saturday night was the Senior Ball.  All the seniors went stag and had a fancy dinner and then danced the night away.  Meg went with her friends Tess and Alyssa and they had a ball (at the ball!  Ha ha!)!

 

 

 

Mariah got her hair cut this week!  It looks fabulous and it's a huge weight off her shoulders (ha!  I am on a roll today!)  She also had basketball tryouts this week and will be playing on the JV and Varsity teams.  She is super happy to be back on the court!  She has still been practicing for Cross Country, though, since she'll have one last meet.  She's been a busy girl and thinks her body is indestructible because she asks me why she's so tired!

Cali and Chey have also started basketball again.  They'll be playing Bantam again this year with their favorite coach (their dad!).  They had basketball practice on Wednesday and Friday and tennis practice on Tuesday and Thursday and told me how bored they were on Monday.  They're working on duets right now in piano and it is fun to hear them on the piano together!

Bethany continues to play with friends everyday after school and on weekends and, well, basically every free moment.  She's enjoying school and can keep up (very) small conversations with her dad in Chinese.  She is also enjoying her piano lessons and ballet once a week (although they do take her from her friends!).

Benjamin went to Karate on Tuesday and Thursday and played with his friends when they were available and played on the ipad when they were not!  His reading is coming along really well!  We're all pretty surprised by it.  He's a good little student.  His teachers love him and he even does his homework willingly.  This school thing is working out really well for him so far!

We've had phenomenally great weather for November and I've soaked up some of it on my porch and on some nice walks.  It's been a nice week!
