Emily and I met Rachel at the Cider House for a drink after work to meet little Jayla. Xavier came over after school to work on the bug project for school with Connor. He actually spent the night and we had Alex and his parents over for smores that night. Kaiden and Alex are doing amazing in flag football. Connor left for the weekend to go to Silver Mountain with a bunch of friends for Mason's birthday party.
More flag football. Connor and I finally bought the ingredients and made his Harry Potter Butter Beer (no alcohol, it's mainly cream soda). Alex and Kaiden painted some spiders for Halloween. Jason did another 1/2 triathlon. The boys made him some signs to welcome him home after the race. It was in the tri-cities and both boys were sick, so we didn't go. Jason and I went to another outdoor concert at Northern Quest- the Glorious Sons and Smashing Pumpkins.
Connor has a bug project in his science class where he needs to collect 26 bugs from different groups. I took him to the lake to find some dragon flies and other bugs. Then he kayaked for a while, Piper swam and Kaiden and Alex caught (and released) small fish. Emily and I had a break in our work schedule so we had lunch at Wisconsin burger. Kaiden and Alex are loving flag football. Kaiden has played for several years now and loved it, but he finally talked Alex into joining the team this year and now Alex loves it too. I've been taking Connor for short driving lessons. Until now we've just been driving around his high school back parking lot. Today I took him to a short paved road that never gets used and let him drive. He's getting way more comfortable and confident in his driving now. Kaiden tested out his Halloween costume. This year he wanted to go as SWAT. My friend at work, Rachel just adopted an adorable little girl named Jayla.
