Halloween Fun!

Last Saturday we celebrated our last Fall Sports Day with a bang - A win in football, a win in baseball, and a medal in gymnastics. 





Lauren's Medal Ceremony at Gymnastics

 Then we got busy on Halloween festivities.  Saturday night we went to a Halloween party at our neighbor's house.  Ryan was supposed to be Willie from Duck Dynasty.  He went as an Amish guy.  I was Jane Fonda; aerobic trianer.  This was also a great night to do a dry run of the kid's Halloween costumes. 

Sunday Lauren and I carved our pumpkin.  Nick just wasn't interested in our carving.  Then we enjoyed frying and eating pumpkin seeds. 

Finally, Thursday rolled around and it was time to hit the streets of Front Royal for trick or treat with the Lynch family!  We had a little rain at first, but the temps were warm and the candy was plentiful!  Nick must have had 50 comments about his Freddy Kreuger costume.  He really enjoyed it.  Lauren was thrilled to see Ms. Teenie and Ms Laura last night.  All treats and no tricks on us!  

One extra thing to blog about this week:  Lauren decided to sign up to cheer for basketball.  Each football and basketball season, we ask if she would like to cheer and even encourage her to cheer.  She always says no.  Flat out NO, even though she always cheers with the cheerleaders from the stands at basketball and football games each season. 

 

Jodaci signed up this season.  Now Lauren says 'yes!' 

 

I have just a few things to say about this...1) I do believe cheer provides great public speaking experience.  2)  Lauren will not wear skirts.  3)  I thought I'd have 1 entire month free of sports activities. This has been shorted to 1 week.  4)  Lauren will not wear hairbows.  5)  I will not coach this activitiy, as I have never been nor will be a cheerleader.  :)
