Kaeleigh's Volleyball team after their last tournament.
Trick or treatWow! I just realized that I haven't written for a month! Things as per usual have been busy. Let's see if I can remember some highlights of the last month.
Volleyball season ended with a bang-Kaeleigh's team didn't do so well at their last tournament. They did get a medal for partcipating though. BUT their team ended the season in first place(well tied with St. Rita's but still 1st place is awesome!) They ended their season with a pizza party and some tears. The girls had played together for 4 years and now it's on to high school. Speaking of tears they've already started to cry when they talk about graduating next spring. Their class went on a special overnight to Covenant Harbor a camp with a ropes course where they worked on team building activities. If they weren't thinking as a team after being together for 9 years they were by the end of the two days.
Then there was Halloween. We always have fun on Halloween. We (Mom, Allie and Abby)started out by having a Halloween party and parade at school . We parade through the whole school with Mrs. Zebrowski(the pumpkin) leading. I've had the same costume for about twenty years and the kids always say to me as we go through the rooms"weren't you that last year?" Anyhow after school we went home to wait for Dave so we could go Trick or treating. We started in our old neighborhood because our old neighbors love to still see the kids dressed up and they always have something special for them. Then we went to Allie's teachers house which is in our old neighborhood too. She laughed as we all piled out of the van(don't you just hate people who do that?). Then it was on to Oma and Opa's neighborhood and the house with the BIG candybars(we have to there every year). Then to our own neighborhood that had extended hours. Kaeleigh and her friends handed out candy for awhile at our house and then Abby and I took over(she got tired of walking). Abby says handing out the candy is almost as fun as getting it!
Can you believe that the first quarter of school is over aleady? The girls got their report cards and Dave went to their conferences the first week of November(I was too busy doing my own to go) .They all did AWESOME!!!!!!! Kaeleigh and Claire made high honor roll for their grades!Ally and Abby are too little for Honor roll at our school but had top grades too:)
Tomorrow starts Cheerleading season and Kae and Claire can't wait. (Kaeleigh is Claires team's coach) I love that they love to do cheerleading but sitting through the boys basketball games kills me because I hate to watch basketball. Oh well!
