Happy Thanksgiving in Clarksdale. 

Family weekend in town with yummy breakfasts, fire in the fireplace,

Bloody Mary's, football, veal parmesan, and pictionary...fun times!

Stole this one from Carly's phone camera roll! 

These girls make me smile. 

Okay, they can also make me crazy but mostly they make me smile.

Halloween 2013

 

Carly had 3 neighborhood friends over for burgers.

(and eyeball cake!) 

We all took turns answering the door and handing out candy.

The girls waited until dark to hit a couple of houses for treats

(only little kids trick-or-treat when it is light outside). 

They came into the kitchen in their super hero attire,

we took a couple of pictures,

and off they went to the "donut" house. 

(what else does the owner of the krispie kreme give out...duh mom!)

3 1/2 minutes later.....

1st basketball game of the season was a good one. It was an 8th grade only game which allowed Carly and her 8th grade teammates to have lots of play time.  It gave them a chance to shake the nerves and have fun! What a great way to start the season!

Shaking my head....  Look at their surroundings!  I'm pretty sure a tsunami has come through. No wonder an extra pair of uniform shorts came home with us. It will be a miracle if we make it through the season with all our stuff.

We had a quiet weekend just the 3 of us in the woods. 

Kenny took his bow up a tree but didn't have any luck. 

We hung out by the fire pit, played games, watched some football, 

cooked out, looked at magazines, rode the 4-wheeler, took photos, and

watched Sophie run and run and run! 

I need an escape occasionally when you are just forced to slow down!

Wrap it in blue and black

(doesn't sound as good as maroon and white)

...homecoming 2013 is in the books. 

What was the best thing? 

Making memories with friends! 

{Ame, Lucy, Olivia, Anna Grace, and Carly}

It felt like it consumed the whole month!

Mission accomplished.
