Fun In October

 "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers" 

                                     -- Anne of Green Gables

I'm sure I've already used that quote on my blog in previous years, but it's one that I love from one of my favorite childhood movies.  

This has been a wonderful weekend filled with proud moments and fun family times.  

Yesterday morning I dropped Bri off for her district-wide choral concert which I got to watch at 2pm.  My parents joined.  My son had a double-header, one at 2 and the other at 4.  We made it in time to watch the end of the first game.  

The concert featured the 5th graders, middle and high schoolers and they all did a great job.  What was annoying was the people behind me who talked the entire time.  I don't understand why people insist on talking during a show.  These kids work hard and deserve our attention.  So, please, next time you are attending a recital save your conversating for after.  

Matthew's team won both games and they were the last of the regular season.  In a few weeks start the playoffs.  My poor son continues to deal with migraines and eye tics.  His neurologist started him on a new prescription and I hope it works.  The poor boy missed a day of school last week.  As he's on the field I can see his quick movements of the head as his eyes roll.  It's quite frustrating for him.  The doctor said there is no cure for tics and I've even found that out in my own research.  Hopefully they go away on it's own.

Today we slept in, missing church, yet again.  It was nice to have a morning of just relaxing on the couch sipping coffee and not rushing.  After lunch we decided to play a game of bowling, where I somehow ended up straining my wrist.  Also, I'm not very good at bowling.  

   Then we headed to a local orchard to pick some pumpkins and gourds.  The kids had a blast.  

Having an enjoyable weekend only leads us to dread the week of school and work ahead.  My son already made a comment about how is not looking forward to tomorrow.  I'm not either, if we're being honest.
