barrett: 162 months old

 

What a fun October!  Barrett dressed up as Dipper from Gravity Falls for Halloween (Britton was dressing up as Mabel and wanted to do a sibling costume pair, since it's her "last Halloween at home" - she put on the guilt trip!).  We had Barrett's friends over for pizza before they headed out for trick or treating, the first time going out without parental supervision.  They had a blast and managed to get so much candy - we're still eating it!

Barrett had his last junior high football game too!  He had a great season, playing offensive left tackle and defensive nose guard.  

His last football practice!  No more early mornings for him and Walker - they were usually being dropped off for practice at 6:00 am, so those lacks of smiles were exhaustion.  He now wakes up for school at 7:40 am.

Dislike: homework, tomatoes (he said cooked tomatoes are fine, and ketchup is awesome, but no raw tomatoes)

Britton had a great October and now into November, the schedule is getting packed!  Not just because we're heading into the halfway point of her senior year (not me over here crying, looking at baby photos), but because activities are piling up on the calendar.  For Halloween, Britton was Mabel from Gravity Falls, and talked Barrett into being Dipper.  They pulled it off well!  And Britton made her sweatshirt too!

We attended our final NCL Mother Daughter Tea, and I gave Britton the tea pot, sugar bowl, and creamer to complete her Lenox Butterfly Meadows tea set.  It's an NCL tradition, and is supposed to set her up to host get togethers in college - ha!  I'm sure she would rather leave it at home!
