October

Clost progress.

Molly drew a target so the boys would use it, instead of her.

She couldn't find tape, so she hung it up with post-it notes.

These two boys make lunch everyday.  Usually the job requires the stove and cheese.  There has to be lots of cheese.

Fakers.

Everyday we stop to play a game. 

At an RS activity the curator of the event handed me a packet of papers.  Included were both my paternal and maternal grandfather's army registration cards.  The signifance is: That same morning, we read all about the Vietnam war and the draft.  My children had lots of questions, so we talked a lot about war and soldiers.  We also read the part in Little Britches where a court is needed to solve an irrigation war.  The court used was the Littleton, Colorado court (which is where Grandpa Mayhew's registration card is stamped).  I felt so connected to my ancestors -- especially those so close to me.

The boys pranked Nick.

It's a little bit funny.

Nick received the MUHS Pursuing Victory with Honor award.  He was presented at the school board meeting, and we saw Austin in action. 

Friday night fun.

Eddie sculpted his own scone.

Here we are singing in ward choir.  Austin gives no energy at all.  Nick feels forced, but performs beautifully.  Maddie actually practices her parts and is an asset.

Maisie has been a missionary for one month.  She's being so patient.

Andy sends the group chat "I'm cooked!" pictures most days.  His BYU, work, dating and social life keeps him so busy.
