Ok Ok I promised that would not be the last one so here is what has gone on in the jungle. Felicity just finished up her soccer season. She played in a team that was two years older than her and she really had to push her self to keep up. We have decided in the spring to put her on a team of her peers. We really liked her coach but just think she was a little to intimidated by some of the girls. JC has two more games left. On this coming Saturday and Sunday. He also has had a great coach. I think we will try to put him on Mitch's team in the spring. So that will leave us with just Tae-Kwon-Do and Girl Scouts until ...... Well, you all know how that goes here. November started cookies sales with Girl Scouts. Felicity saw a neighbor girl out and got into a fuss about it. So I stopped what I was doing to take her out to sell cookies. She wants to sell 500 boxes. She is at about 120. So she is on her way. I don't know that she will get all 500 but I don't want her to quit aiming for it. I think she really just wants to be the number one seller in her troop. We will see. Halloween was really fun this year. It was really nice here. Felicity had two girls friends go with us. We went out for about two hours. They had such a blast. Ginny gave up about the ninth or tenth house we went to so she just road along in the wagon. JC has been grounded for the last week and is finishing out his sentence. He decided to do an experiment in the basement family room. Felicity had just completed three weeks of fire safety and was explaining a demo that they had done for the kids. So, JC thought he could try it at home. Needless to say it was a big life lesson learned. We will eventually have to replace the carpet as there are no scorch marks on it. It is never fun having to punish your kids but this was a big deal and he needed to understand that he could have easily burnt the house down. We have a busy month planned and I am really excited for what we have going on. Felicity's birthday is the sixteenth and she is going to be nine. I can't believe it! The following weekend we are headed to Kearney, NE to meet up with Craig's mom and brother. Beverly found this really cool Holiday Inn that has a water park in it. That should keep the kiddos busy for the day. The following weekend is Thanksgiving! We are actually going to be home for a holiday. I thought my dad was coming but he will be here later. We will just be glad to see him. Well, that pretty much wraps up what has gone on since my last blog entry. Have a good day and I will try to do better! :)
