Time for Sr Pictures

Unbelievably, it is time to order Tyler’s cap and gown and start thinking about graduation announcements. Today Tyler had his senior pictures taken. He hasn’t had his picture taken professionally in quite some time (school photos don’t count), so we decided to make the most out of this opportunity. We went to 2 different locations today and got lots of pictures. The ladies did a great job making it fun. I’m excited to see the results...which will be in a couple weeks. 
Definitely not a professional picture, but I like his shirt!

He made this sign for one of his pictures. He had a vision. 😜 I think the idea turned out great, but we’ll know for sure in about 2 weeks. 

It was fun spending the morning with him. We enjoyed lunch together afterward. It was a good day.

A Little Fall Decorating

We finally put out our Halloween decorations tonight. We meant to get them up a few days ago but we’ve been a little busy.

After Halloween was over last year we bought Tyler a fog machine we found on clearance. He tried to set that up tonight just to test it out. It was a bust! ☹️ It made a terrible high pitched beep the whole time it was making fog but only put out tiny puffs of fog. Our neighbor stuck her head out to check on us because she thought it was our smoke detector going off and she saw smoke. Guess we won’t be incorporating that into our fall decor this year.

Clara was helping.

The ghost and projector looked good though. We need to add the window lights and a few “expertly” carved jack-o-lanterns to the front steps to complete the look.

Homecoming

Last Saturday evening was our homecoming dance. Danielle decided not to go. Instead her best friend spent the night. They ordered pizza, watched movies, ate snacks, and fell asleep long before they had planned. :)

Tyler went with his group of friends. They all met up for pictures, went to dinner & then ice cream, went to the dance, and then hung out at one of their houses until the early morning hours. It was his last high school homecoming and he made every minute count. We went along for pictures before hand. He seemed genuinely happy - it wasn’t hard to get good pictures.

Football Friday Night

Fall Friday nights are for high school football. Well, more accurately, they’re for the band half time show during the football game. I love our Football Friday night routines and look forward to it all week.

Tonight’s game was an away game. We left after half time so we could get some dinner and get home in good time because Danielle has an early morning softball game tomorrow. 

The sunset was beautiful. The band sounded amazing. We got to watch Tyler have fun with his friends. And we won the game. I will miss these Friday nights next year when Tyler is in college.

Publishing from My Phone - a Test

I downloaded an app for my phone that will hopefully allow me to post a little more frequently. (Once every 6 weeks would even be more frequent!)

So this is a test.
