Life around our house is chugging along, BUT there is no school tomorrow! The schools are polling places for the election, so the school prefer not to have students in them. Andrew still has to work, but the rest of us are home...and get to sleep in!
We received good news today regarding Catherine and basketball. There aren't enough girls registered for a 7/8 league, but they are going to allow the 7th grade girls to play on the 5/6 league. I think this will be a great experience for Catherine. She still gets to play, and as one of the older (although still, sadly, shorter girls) she might get to experience more leadership. My mom was concerned that Catherine may not want to play with the younger girls, but as I suspected, she was a-ok with it. She also has her first band concert this week and is looking forward to that.
This is the last week of marching band for Robert. Saturday they have their final band competition of the year. They have to be at school at 7:30 and if they qualify for finals it won't be until after 10PM that they get home. Based on this past Saturday though, I'm not terribly optimistic about their chances for success.
The kids are starting to work on Christmas lists. They are short and expensive this year, but that is their age! Thomas has been doing a great job of actually purging things in his room. In many ways Andrew and I are a little sad about it, as it means he's growing up and getting rid of the toys. At the same time...thank goodness he is making room and being reasonable!
I am finding it so hard not to wish away the entire month of November. It's a pretty month and there is actually quite a bit of downtime...but we are ready for the holidays!
