Okay....so when I tell you band pretty much takes up our life.....I am not joking. For the past few weeks all we do on the weekends it band stuff. I feel like I am never home and that we are constantly at something band related. This weekend was no different. Sarah had her first major band competition of the season. The Blue Devil Brigade took home top honors....Superior Ratings, All 1's for scores, and a Sweepstakes win for the competition! They did fantastic and the kids were so excited. Bailey and I had fun watching the kids but we were sweating our bottoms off! It was like 93 degrees and humid! I felt so bad for the kids in their polyester band uniforms because it was so hot, so Bailey and I tried not to complain but it was hard.
Next week is Homecoming weekend so we will have the homecoming parade on Thursday, game at the stadium on Friday and then the dance on Saturday. So we will have a fun packed week/weekend. Sarah has her dress and accessories purchased. Going to get nails and hair done the day of the dance and then off to pictures and dinner before the dance. I am having a bonfire out here at our house after the dance for the kids to come and hang out. It is just gonna be Sarah and Chase and her friends Kaycee and Rob. I am gonna have the parents out while the kids are at the dance....so maybe I will get to relax a little next weekend....doubt it but a girl can dream.
Bailey has started soccer practice and she is doing quite good for never have played the game. She is realizing how tiring it can be too which is funny to watch her. Her first game is at the same time of the parade on Thursday, so I won't be at the parade but on the soccer field watching Bailey. That has been hard for me to have to now split myself between activities because I want to be there for both my children....hate that feeling. Bailey had her Pride Program this week for all the kids who made all A's for the first quarter. She is doing so well in school. The kids were treated to one of the original Harlem Globetrotters as their speaker. She got to ask him a question....and what does she ask? "What size shoe do you wear?"....too funny! By the way....it was a size 15. She was so excited she got to "talk" to him!
Todd heads out on his annual moose hunt on Friday. He will be gone for about 9 days. He loves this trip and has told me he thinks this is probably going to be the last year doing this because he thinks his dad won't be able to continue the hiking etc. because of his health.....I am more worried about Todd's legs this year too. I hope he will do okay with it. I can't wait to go to the doctor's in November to start to get some answers....I am fearful of what the outcome will be but in the same sense anxious cuz I want to see him finally know what is going on. Please continue to pray for him as things are not changing much and sometimes I think worse but in different ways. I know God has a plan for us and I trust He will take us through this, but I am human and I still have fears.
Well I think that catches you all up on things. Hope everone is well!
