Overview in Photos - NOVEMBER

On November 1st, we hosted our annual Halloween Party at the Schmidt House. We had a great turn out - over 40 adults and at least 40 kids! We had a pumpkin cookie decorating station, a bon fire with S'mores, my Dad helped rig up lights around the play set and on our basketball court - so the kids had plenty to do. We had pitch in food - so there was plenty to eat and one family brought glow sticks - so the kids even played in the woods after dark. It was a really fun night. It was awesome to see all the kids come in costumes and almost all the parents too! Happy Halloween!

This is baby Daniel (Ron and Em's sweet baby boy)

Sick and Tired (get it!?)

We watched the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown - it was a full house!

 



Veterans Day Chapel at The Oaks Academy.  Bubba was celebrated among many others.

 

 

Dad performed with the Brigade Chorus over Brigade weekend - Joey and Morgan came with me to the show.  Joe's quartet made the top 10 and then finished 4th (with every other quartet, besides 1st, 2nd, & 3rd) overall.

Indiana University played the University of Indianapolis in an exhibition game.  I rallied up or alumni WBB players (and all our kids!) and we had a blast!  Coach Moren is now the head coach at IU and it was fun to see our Greyhounds too!

Joe is coaching the JV A team at The Oaks Academy - they are doing REALLY well!

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY JACKSON!

Jackson had a Transformers Rescue Bots Birthday Party - we ate pizza, cupcakes and watch Planes - Fire & Rescue with 12 of his closest buddies (and their siblings!)

Morgan had a field trip to Children's Museum on their last day of school before Thanksgiving Break.  It was crazy busy, but very fun. I had the best group of kids to take around!

Morgan and Lucy were literally the first ones down the Yule Slide that day!

On Wednesday, our first day of the break, Bubba and RyRy came with us to the Eiteljorg Museum for our (now annual) visit to the Jingle Rails - it's an awesome exhibit!

On Thanksgiving morning, Joey and I ran (and walked) in our annual Drumstick Dash - it's a 2.5 mile loop and it's our 3rd year doing it together.  We love this tradition!

And, then our final annual tradition of November is Dull's Tree Farm - we've gone nearly every year!  It was  a great day and we picked the most beautiful tree they had. 

 

When we got home we trimmed the tree and made gingerbread cookies.  It was a great day!
