October 2018

October was filled with lots of football. In Ames is was renamed "Brocktober" in honor of our redshirt freshman QB taking the reins and making ISU hard to beat. We have won all games the last two Octobers!!!



 I am teaching science this year for our private homeschool classes. I have really enjoyed it. We dissected owl pellets. So cool!
 We cousin Audrey for an overnight and had our annual pumpkin shaped pizza. Since May and baseball season we have been going strong on a tradition of pizza on Friday nights. We change it up and do different types/places, and even though I love not cooking, I am kind of tired of pizza once a week. 
 We played hooky from homeschool PE and I called Em absent for band so we could take the afternoon at Deal's Orchard.  The weekends in Oct. did not have the best weather or we had plans, so I was fun mom and we headed over on a Monday, and had the place to ourselves.


 Still a common occurrence, comic book and food. 
 Carving pumpkins!
 I can't find any Halloween pics. I hope Robert has some on his phone and I can grab them for prosperity.
 Dallas was Brock Purdy, warming up on the sidelines in the black out uniforms on a cold day.
 Emily was a ringmaster inspired by "The Greatest Showman" 
 We raked a lot of leaves throughout Oct. and November. I asked the neighbor boys to come down and help bag. I had everything in piles already. We finally were up against possible snow the next day. Of course it didn't snow, but it was good to have a deadline. I think we had 47 bags total.
