Friday night, Stephen and I went to watch the Homeschool Homecoming football game (well, I was volunteering but also watching). We had fun watching Gloria and her friend cheer. They did a great job! (Meanwhile Austin supervised while Anastasia had her friends over for her fall gathering. But I forgot to have them take photos for me!).
This morning, this cutie had her last volleyball game. She served the winning point!Saturday, October 26, 2024

Kitchen project
It was originally forecast to be a week but turned into almost 2. However, the end result was well worth it!
Moved the kitchen into the entryway. The workmen used the dining room as a staging/drying area so we were without that too! Thankfully a cool front blew in, and we enjoyed some front porch picnics.
We may need to find some less-clashy bar stools, but we are so happy with the results.

More sports and a costume piano performance
We had our usual Saturday morning sports, and I managed to get a photo of Sebastian playing center (but none of Cecilia!). Then today we had a costume piano performance for an assisted living facility.

Fall gathering - Younger girls version
Last year Anastasia had a fall friends gathering. As we were preparing to do it again, Cecilia insisted she needed to have one too. We were expecting the kitchen cabinet painting to be done or almost done (it wasn't even close!). But despite the mess, we continued on. We made good use of the schoolroom and treehouse, and they all had a great time!
They decorated cookie houses, had a snack and played at the treehouse, painted pumpkins and even squeezed in a little nail spa time at the end!

Weekend fun
The kids had early games this morning, and we were all worn out. Sebastian's game was especially rough (hence the ice packs!). (you can see our makeshift kitchen in the entryway behind them. The cabinets are being painted this week!).

Pumpkin Patch
I am down to only 2 kids who want to come with me to the pumpkin patch. I sure love these cuties. We had fun picking pumpkins and taking pictures!
