Well, no more excuses...just been really busy. We got together with the Nieto family to celebrate Halloween. They were gracious enough to have us over with some family. We had a blast! The kids had fun playing, carving pumpkins, going Trick or Treating, and watching a little baseball. E had gotten too old to T or T and Em doesn't want to wear a costume any longer (although she was willing to help Erin out with eating her candy).
We had the little Bee cheer camp this month. Erin got to go on a saturday and learn some cheers and a dance or two. The little girls then got to attend one of the varsity football games and cheer for the 1st quarter. Erin had so much fun. E and Em were cheering at the game with her. Em cheered for the 1st half and then she was gone to get ready for the dance. E had a great time with the little pre-K girls in her group. Think she may have enjoyed being with them more than cheering at the game.
Erin - Erin is having great year so far. She loves her teacher, Mrs. Pritchard. Erin tried out for UIL competition in number sense and math. Let's hope she makes the team! Erin is thinking about trying out for a part in our local civic theatre's play, Annie. She's still uncertain, but has a friend doing it so she may take the plunge. We'll keep you updated on the status of that....
Em - Em finished volleyball season and really enjoyed it. She is trying out for basketball but doesn't really care for it. Quote..."Dad, I don't think I like basketball. Why not? You don't get to bump or even touch the other players. We scrimmaged today, and I fouled out in 5 minutes." We'll see how basketball goes, but it's not looking like she enjoy it as much as volleyball. Em had a cotillion dance a couple of weeks ago...the theme was the 50's. Em had a good time but doesn't know how girls managed to wear poodle skirts and not sweat to death.
E - E has been super busy. She has loved cheering this year, especially the couple of times the team has won. She was considering going to Europe with her class over Spring Break, but may wait until next year. The class goes to London, around England, and to Paris. Sounds like a fun trip when she's ready to go. E took the PSAT and we should get her results pretty soon. E is considering going into Engineering or maybe teaching. E is going to a Dallas Cowboy game in a couple of weeks with her friend, Cayton. E is really excited about the game, but isn't too sure about the Cowboys being able to win one now.
