See last post for explanation... Baton Class, about 2 minutes Ballet/Jazz Class, about 1 minute Country Western Day, about 3 minutes Now I'm done blogging for the day/month!

Rob took Veterans Day off (since the kids had no school) and we went to the zoo. (We didn't let Seth/Alee ride in the van that way - they just think every time they do something funny or cute I should go get the camera. Since I already had it in hand, I took a picture of their sillyness.) She took quite a while getting all those little squares like a checkerboard. I was proud of her for not freaking out on the girl that came by and swooshed the whole thing to chaos 3 minutes after she finished. She just laughed and swooshed it with her. (Glad it wasn't her sister...the result may have been different!) Seth turned 11 in October, so we all went to the pack meeting this month so that he could "claim" his final awards, including the scouting Faith in God religious patch and Arrow of Light. (His Webelos leader and assistant leader are standing to his right - they were phenomenal.)  He'll work with the 11 year old scout leaders this year, but I do look ...

I say "almost recital" because I combined everyone's pieces into shorter clips in one video (a little over 2 minutes - rather than almost 8 minutes!)

Link to be shared on Facebook (or by email if you don't use facebook). I'll try to post the link here on the sidebar also (if I remember!)

I have been so busy. I like having things to do. It actually keeps me productive and unidle...however, too many and I get overwhelmed and a little crazy! So, I have to let go of some things, and sadly, the blog was unessential this past month. :( Like my sewing, I do it for fun AND for the benefit of my family...so one project at a time - and this past month was halloween costumes. So fun to sew because they don't have to be perfect and it's where I've learned a lot of my random sewing skills (this year it was sewing with knits, making tutus, and using a twin needle). I thought you'd enjoy looking at too many pictures! (Alee did have little shorts on that day and for Halloween party & trick or treating she wore leggings - Kaitlyn also wore tights under her leotard and ballet shoes, but I didn't have them put them on the day I took these pictures. I thought I'd get good pictures later...as always, I was rushed later, so most of...
