Since I last posted Caleb has had his first official scouts meeting and he seems to really enjoy that. I think we have to get him a uniform before the first meeting in November, but I'm letting Dad take care of that stuff with him.
We are almost finished with our 2009 cheer season and I won't say I'm disappointed by that at all. It's been a crazy season and most of the time I feel like we have no idea what's going on at all. I'm just crossing my fingers that by some miracle the girls do well enough to feel good about themselves at their gala.
School picture day was today. We made the decision to forgo ordering school portraits and instead I'm going to take the kids in somewhere simple like Walmart for a session. It's cheaper and you get more pictures to give out to family and friends. We are however going to get them both yearbooks, because I'd like them to have those memories down the road. I was mad at myself for not getting them one last year!
The kids are really excited about Halloween. After being on vacation and then sick for the last few weeks, I finally asked them about costumes today. Caleb intends to be Optimus Prime while Lorelei is intending to reuse her kitten costume (if I can find it) from last year. We're supposed to attend a Halloween Party in two days (if everyone is feeling well enough) so I've got to get on costume search ASAP.
Lots of big life changes going on around here; all of them very positive and wonderful. :)
