as we head into the holiday season, i wanted to make a note of odds and ends from the last few months. memories and instances that did not garner their own post but require recognition nonetheless.
can you find the exposed underwear, the cat ears, and dragon boots?
herschel was slow to warm to soccer but once he finally came around he really liked it. there was plenty of running around and shrieking. after one game herschel earned the "best listener" award. the award does not apply to at home behavior.
season finale game complete with trophy and cheetos.
lots of intense games full of strategy and skill. run! kick! fall down! kick! do it again!

there were three kids wearing the number 4 jersey on his team.

i love with athena blythe rebels against my normal outfit selections and adds her own additions. she was mad that i braided her hair and put out shorts and a t shirt for her to wear so she added the chef hat and the extra dress to make her point. to everyone else she looked like she had escaped from an orphanage and was going through some sort of treatments.
scarlett and i had the women's broadcast. because of my calling i was in charge of the dessert and hors d'ouevres beforehand. i brought my pumpkin decorations for the food tables but i did manage to sneak in one skull just for fun. unfortunately, i had to do all the cleanup by myself. sisters, if you are at an activity, before you leave, please look around for what you can do to help clean up so that one person isn't stuck doing all of it and they miss half the broadcast. it was frustrating for me. i'm trying to think of the spiritual lesson but i think i just need to learn patience. again.
scarlett had her choir concert. they did it in 30 minute increments by grade so that not all the parents had to sit through all the classes. brilliant.
cute herschel-a-saurus
hersch in time out
pre-church herschel
athena blythe made halloween masks for everyone in the family. they were delightfully creepy.
i found a doll cake pan for cheap so i made a creep red velvet cake.
we also made a really dry eyeball cake. very disappointing.
this keeps happening. we were late for school one morning because i couldn't find herschel because he had hidden inside this pillow.
this was on the side of the road. it made me sad.
athena blythe and herschel spending extended amounts of time in the backyard building squirrel tunnels and cages.
the end.

The final pic really brought the whole post together. I appreciated it.
does it seem that allllllllllllllll of the lessons are about patience? it really does.
i think bunnies probably enjoy being picked up by the gut, bottoms up. it's a good look.
i love cheetos. miscellany posts are actually my favorite.
My husband is the stake tech specialist--basically he's called to set up the projectors and mics for every conference. For the women's broadcast, somehow the entire stake male leadership somehow thought they didn't need to attend. Luckily, hubby was there to unlock the church, set up the entire show, take it all down, help the ladies clean up the cookie table, wait for all the chatty Cathies to go home, and then lock up. I had to stay home and watch it from there, because six kids, one of us needs to hold down the fort. So, I'm feeling you. Sometimes, callings feel so heavy. Thanks for your service. PS red shoes for church are a revelation.
