Daisies at the Farm

Today Little Bit and I had a trip to a farm with her Girl Scout troop. It was a good day. It was a little cool, but not bad. The sun was out. It was a beautiful day. We went on a wagon ride and fed some animals.



The girls got to go down this slide once. (You needed a ticket each time you wanted to slide.)



We also did some trick-or-treating.



And of coarse, picked out a pumpkin.



We had a great day together. Even though she really wanted me to just drop her off and leave. (sigh) Oh well. Now I am off to "inspect" the candy. :)

Go Red Devils!

Tonight my "baby" is in Ohio at a marching band competition without me. (tear) There are several parents that aren't able to make it to the competitions. So, I have been really blessed to be able to go to all of the rest of them. I am just sad I couldn't be there tonight. But I have been praying for her and cheering her on from here all day. And I am wearing my band t-shirt.



Go Red Devils!! I am super proud of the whole band. They have all worked so hard. I can't wait until we go to the Bands of America competition next weekend. It will be at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy. Woot Woot!

Gettin' Ready

I am actually already getting ready for Christmas. If you know me, that is big news. I am terrible at procrastinating. I usually put off buying most things until November. I say that the next year I am going to do better and shop earlier. However, that rarely happens. Although I am not ready to start seeing all the Christmas stuff that is already being set out in the stores or to start hearing Christmas music (I can hear a gasp from a certain few Christmas music lovers), I am ready to get this shopping under my belt. And just in case you are living under a rock, it is already October 24th, two months until Christmas! Do you have anything ready for Christmas yet?

Checking In

I'm still here. I have just been busy with marching band and other mom things. I am loving my new job. I work about 3 hours with around 8 two year olds. They are very sweet. It is really nice to work with kids again. I am still trying to figure out what else I can do to bring in some bacon. I do have 2 shows lined up with my other job. One is a fundraiser for my nephew. The one who is in Philly hospital waiting for a heart lung transplant. That is about all the excitement going on around here.

Grand Champions

Our high school band went to an invitational band competition over the weekend. They actually got to compete twice. It was a little bit of a long day. I dropped off my new colorguard girl at the high school at 8:00 am and we didn't get home until 11:00 pm. The kids in the band did an excellent job! They worked hard and at the end of the night were Grand Champions. They got first place and the Spirit award, Best Effect, Best Visual, and Best Music. Isn't that awesome!!

You Live in a Zoo

The other day the kids and I went to the zoo. It was so much fun. The weather was perfect. There were not many other people. It was great!

The zoo has already began setting up for the Halloween party they do every year. They put up different characters. During the nights they do the Halloween party they have people dressed up as super heroes and princesses. They also hand out candy.





We were there when they had the new baby girl polar bear cub out. She is adorable. Her name means snowflake.



We also got to see some training with the sea lion. His name is Bart.



I am really glad we decided to head on over to the zoo. I had a great time with all three of the kids.

Legacy of Life Walk

Saturday was the Legacy of Life Walk. It is to help raise awareness for organ donation. It was cold. They were giving out hot chocolate and coffee before the walk.



Did I mention it was cold?



We did a great 5K walk. The kids did some running. This is the main reason we were there.



Please think about being an organ donor. You never know how much your gift could mean to a family. Also thank you for praying for my nephew who is currently waiting for a heart/lung transplant.
