Well, it is officially fall in Northwest Missouri! The trees are all turning beautiful shades of orange, yellow, and red! Now, if it would just freeze so that allergies would go away!!
The first quarter at school is over and the kids have had a great start to the school year so far! Morgan is adjusting fairly well to junior high, though I think he still is working out some of the kinks! Maggie is loving fifth grade, and Marshall is enjoying being in the second grade! They each have great teachers and are enjoying the school year!
Morgan has started junior high basketball. So far, his team is 2-2. We had our annual junior high tournament at Winston last week and the boys finished fourth. The girls' team received second place. Morgan is doing great so far and has had 7 points in each of 2 of the games! I think he may have already tied my points scored throughout my entire high school career!! (hehehehe!!)
This past Saturday night, Maggie's girl scout troop attended a Vampire Scavenger Hunt! She got to wear her costume (construction worker like Daddy!!!.....last year she was a mommy!!) and then they broke up into groups and had a scavenger hunt around Cameron. Instead of finding items, they had to go to certain places and take pictures on a digital camera....I thought that was pretty neat! She had a blast!!
Marshall has quit Cub Scouts, but is now a 4-H-er. He visited his uncle in Indiana this past summer and has become very interested in showing animals! He has always said that he wants to have a farm when he grows up, so I'm not surprised by this turn of events! He is the child in our house who spends a great deal of time playing with his dad's old farm toys. He has a very precise way that he lines everything up and plays with it. So, Marshall joined 4-H and has picked Swine, Woodworking, and Gardening as his projects for this year. I am not that familiar with 4-H, so I'm sure this is going to be an education for me.....but as long as Marshall enjoys it, I'm all in!
Well, that is all for now! We'll catch you next time!!
