This weekend was nonstop activity! I was sick on Thursday and Friday with some cold bug and pretty much just laid low for 2 days which of course, meant that I felt like we had a million things to do to make up for lost time this weekend. On Friday night, Josh took the kids to a "Costume Carnival" at the elementary school where they all played many games and won lots of little prizes. Tabitha had her last volleyball scrimmage of the season on Saturday morning followed by Quincy's first basketball game of the season. Despite Quincy's frequent declarations about what a great basketball player he is, he usually lacks confidence and aggression when he's actually on the court. We were thrilled to see him right in the action this time and to even see him score a basket! We celebrated with ice cream cones on the way home. After putting up some shelves in the garage and starting to hang up some bikes for the winter, we joined Josh's dad at Pizza Hut for dinner Saturday night. Today, we enjoyed a gorgeous fall day by working in the garage and yard almost the whole day. The kids and I carved pumpkins while Josh hung our new storm door. We then raked leaves, cut back plants, etc in preparation for winter. Max made a new, great friend with the 4 year old "new" boy (they moved in 3 weeks after we did) across the street. Jonas speaks Japanese and German and not a word of English but he and Max played together all day and had a ball riding scooters, making a box into a "house", jumping in the leaves, and riding bikes. They were so cute together and Max is already making plans for them for tomorrow.
