barrett: 150 months old

With football over, Barrett has gone back to the glasses, and is still growing out his hair!  I guess it's easier to do now, since it isn't so ridiculously hot every day.  Barrett got moved up to B Team for his last two games, and played well!  He doesn't miss 6:45 am practices every morning, but I do think he misses having games and playing football every day.  The extra two hours of sleep every morning certainly makes him happy.

For Halloween, I took Barrett and his friends trick-or-treating around the neighborhood, then one of his friends invited all of them to a haunted house - Barrett's first!  He liked being scared, but the strobe lights were hard. 

Likes: watching college football with the hubs

Dislikes: getting up early for football - but now it's over!

Well, October flew right by!  I think October speeds up every year, because suddenly we look up and it's Halloween, then we're taking down Halloween decorations and Thanksgiving is right around the corner.  This year the kids got a bonus because they didn't have school on Halloween AND it was a Friday.  Unfortunately, everyone came away from trick-or-treating with a cold, including the dog, and the house has been full of runny noses and congestion.  Britton dressed up as Alice in Wonderland, and handed out candy to the neighbors.

Britton has one more game left in Fall Ball!  We have a team party this week to celebrate the season, then next week is the last game.  I'll miss seeing the girls, especially since I couldn't go to the early games when Barrett had football.
