We finished up soccer this month. A lot of games were canceled or rescheduled. We started off a little rough, but I didn't get discouraged. We improved so much and our last two games, we put up a great fight and won them. I even scored a the first goal in one game!
Nana Carol and Papa Ron were planning on coming to one of my games, but it got canceled. I'm so glad they decided to come for a visit anyway. We enjoyed seeing them and I got to show off my room and my school. We went out to eat and then to Orange Leaf! I got way too much frozen yogurt and ended up throwing up in the backseat of their car! I felt so bad for doing that, but they were really understanding. My tummy felt better after that, so I played soccer with Papa Ron in the backyard. It was so much fun!
I have gone to a lot of Girl Scout meetings and events, several birthday parties, and a lot of other fun things. My friend Bri had a Halloween themed birthday party at the park. Our family went to the MU homecoming parade and I got a TON of candy! I love my candy! I went to an MU volleyball game as well and even won a volleyball, which I had signed by the whole team! We also had the chili supper/costume contest/pumpkin raffle at my school. I won the Piggy pumpkin that my teacher made, and Emily won the Dori pumpkin! We were a lucky family!
Halloween was a lot of fun this year. We had our Halloween parade and party at our school. We played a lot of fun games, including Pie Face. I thought that was a blast. Later that night was Madelyn's birthday party at Tiger Bounce. It was so much fun running around with so many of my friends! I had a Halloween party at Ella's the next night. That's a lot of partying and sugar!
I had the day off school on Halloween, and I spent it with Mommy. We went shopping in the morning and I got to make a list of what I want for Christmas. We went to Emily's school for her parade and party. I dressed as a Cheetah. I loved my costume so much and got to wear it a few different times! We went to Mr. Kenny's, Rachel's, both neighbors' houses, then across town to Nana Arden and Papa Rodney's before going to Carrie's house. We had so much fun going around her neighborhood.
I was so excited to have a sleepover at Ella's house! We had so much fun listening to music and singing. I was pretty jealous that Ella has an iPad and is allowed to text Gabe. I would really like to do that too. The next day, I spent a little time with Mommy before she left for 3 days for a conference. Daddy left for the same conference the next day, but I went to Brynn's and had a Monster High sleepover for her birthday. I missed Daddy while I was there, but was a lot better after I talked to him. He even stayed the next morning so he could see me. Nana Arden stayed at our house while they were gone. I got to go to McDonald's twice and had a lot of fun shopping and going to the library with Nana Arden. When Mommy and Daddy got back, we had my parent teacher conference with Mrs. Gross. She said I have been doing great and really getting to be a better reader and writer. I'm really grasping 2 and 3 digit subtraction with regrouping in math!
We had another day off school because of conferences and I had a play date at our house with Gabe and Ella. We picked up our play dates again with Brynn and Bella. I'm so lucky to have such good friends!
We rounded out the month with family pictures and pizza at Shakespeare's, and Girl Scouts. What a busy day and month!
I am really growing up and thinking deeper about things. Mommy and I put a 500 piece really hard puzzle together. She is happy to have a puzzle buddy! We also played Battleship and I am starting to understand strategy. Sometimes I really crack my parents up. One day, I told Mommy, "I know what adults do when kids are playing. They sit, eat muffins, and talk about the weather."
