The girls got their school pictures back last week. They both turned out great!

Annie wore the same outfit that Maggie wore when she was in kindergarten.

If you’re someone that I normally send pictures too, those will be coming soon!

Last Monday the kids and I were off from school. Luke had a follow-up appointment for his finger. They did x-rays again and doctor said everything was healing nicely. He still has to avoid football and basketball for another week, but other than that is cleared for normal activities.

We also added in an eye appointment for Adam.

Wednesday Adam had a soccer game.

Thursday is Annie’s dance night.

Here’s a cute picture of the girls making a snack together.

Saturday morning Annie had her final soccer game of the season. It was raining and freezing.

Despite it all, Annie had a great game. She scored three goals and had an assist (which she’ll tell you was only because a boy on her team took the ball way from her). She also slipped and fell twice – but didn’t let that stop her.

Saturday afternoon we went to my littlest nephew’s first birthday party and then stopped to check out some Halloween decorations on our way home.

This house is one of our favorites. It’s amazing and my video doesn’t even come close to capturing how incredible it is.

When the girls and I stopped the other night the inventor that created the display was out and spent some time talking to them and answering their questions.

Sunday we spent the day relaxing, recharging, and watching the Bills win!

Luke wasn’t able to play the violin while we waited for his finger to heal. Now that he’s back at it, he had a special song for me (my favorite part is the smile at the end).

Maggie had her first trumpet lesson this week. She’s been looking forward to this since the end of last year when she found out that she’d be playing it (her top three choices were trumpet, flute, and percussion).

The girls and I checked out some fun Halloween decorations near their dance studio.

This house changes their display each week, depending on who the Bills are playing.

Another house had a fun fairy mailbox. There was a sign that said if you left your name in the mailbox, the fairies would bring you a pumpkin the next morning.

The girls were so excited to find their names on pumpkins.

The fairies gave them each a small toy too.

Each kindergarten student has a fifth grade reading buddy. Annie’s teacher shared this cute picture of Annie with her buddy.

Adam had three soccer games. Two of the games ended in a tie and they won one of them.

Friday, poor Annie got off of the bus in tears. After a trip to urgent care and some antibiotics for an ear infection, she’s feeling much better.

On Saturday, I took Maggie to a football game at my school.

I had mentioned to some of my students that Maggie was excited to see real cheerleaders. One of the girls talked to her coach and asked if Maggie could join them before the game.

She let Maggie borrow her pom poms and taught her a cheer.

They even put Maggie up into a stunt. It was the sweetest thing ever and Maggie had the biggest smile the whole time.

Adam had another soccer game on Friday night. His team won and Adam played really well!

I think his cheering section definitely helped.

Annie had a soccer game Saturday morning. It was chilly, but she had fun.

That afternoon Luke and I went to my school’s homecoming football game. I meant to get a picture of the two of us at the game, but forget. It was nice spending some one-on-one time with him.

Today, Maggie and I spent a little time together. We took a trip to The Bills Store. We took some pictures outside and Maggie found a pair of (surprisingly not outrageously priced) earrings inside.

It was a very busy, but fun, weekend (and the Bills won – always a plus).
