Spooky season is officially over (no seriously....I took down the decorations today). This month started off with the girls fall break, a trip to Wilderness of the Smokeys where the girls got to swim, slide and arcade to their heart's content. It was a great trip because the girls love to swim, stay in hotels, and play arcade games but they don't like driving anywhere...I highly recommend it. We also celebrated Lily's 10th birthday with a family party and also her first friends sleepover at our house. I was worried about how the sleepover was going to go but it turns out I'm a night owl so staying up until midnight was no big deal...heck I'm typing this at 12:30am.
Lily's October update:
Lily's favorite part of Wilderness was the wavepool where she spent most of her time trying to do handstands in progressively shallower water while waiting for the waves to start. Lily has already reached her AR goal for this 9 weeks and has really gotten into the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series. For Halloween Lily decided to be Stitch. I'm glad she went with Stitch because her other options were Beetlejuice or a leopard gecko and I had no clue how to do that.
Lily loves:
-reading
-the show Lego Masters
Clara's October update:
Clara's favorite part of Wilderness were the 4 slides. I can't tell you how many stairs we climbed over the course of 3 days but there were at least 90 steps and we went on the slides at least 15x per day (we all slept very well). Clara finished out cheer for the season but we went to the banquet (at a pumpkin patch) were Clara got the award for the most encouraging. For Halloween Clara decided to go as "pink Stitch" from the 2nd Stitch movie. One of the people handing out candy asked if the girls were a "pink bunny and a blue bunny.
Clara loves:
-putting on shows
-Lego Masters
-Math class (she's gotten really good at addition).
