Catching up:
Crosby received an envelope in the mail...
It was a new bow tie from Mr. D (my sister's father-in-law)! He got the bow ties for the
boys when they were in
Stacie's wedding back in May, and my sister told him how much Crosby liked wearing it. It was so nice of him to think of C and send him a gift! We'll have to find an occasion to get dressed up so he can wear it soon. :)
Alexee & Bogart hanging out
I had lunch with this sweet girl one day and took her a milkshake from McDonald's.
October 1st--bought a pumpkin when I was grocery shopping to celebrate the beginning of my very favorite month!
Last Friday night I tried to organize everything we needed for Saturday's games. C had flag football at 10:00, R had football at 12:00 and A had volleyball at 1:00. We all went to C's game. He did a good job and had a lot of fun. He'd been really nervous about knowing the plays, but he seemed to feel a lot better after their Friday practice, which made me feel a lot better too. I hated to see him stressed about something that's supposed to be fun. He's looking forward to his next game, so I think it's going to be a good season. Lane left just a few minutes early to take Rhett to meet up with a friend so he could ride to the 6th grade game with the friend's family, then Lane had to go to work. After C's game was over we came home for a few minutes to eat lunch then went to A's game. She scored two points this time--she was excited, and we were happy for her! I was sad to have to miss R's game, but we got text updates throughout the game.
C's game--aren't they cute!

And snacks after the game! :)
Lunch break at home--such a pretty day we wanted to sit outside.
I noticed the leaves in our yard are just starting to have a hint of fall color to them.
A's game--the girls did great!
After her game we met Rhett then decided to make a quick trip to Flippin for the afternoon. Mom & Dad were canning honey from their bee hives when we arrived. They gave us jobs drying jars, pouring honey from the bucket and adding lids and boxing the jars. It was fun to get to help.
When the work was done we enjoyed warm biscuits and fresh honey! Yum! It has such a good flavor.
Then we stopped by my Grandparents' house, and Alexee got to feed Grandmother's bottle calf.
And they went to see the horses and mules in the field.
I went with Mom to feed her heifers.
Crosby did some drawing while we were there.
Alexee picked up lots of things from their yard to make a fall display.
a fun afternoon!

Alexee and I planted some fall flowers after school one afternoon.
Happy October!
