Our trick-or-treating date was pushed to November 1st because of a football playoff game. With weather cooperating, it made for a very crowded night in our small town!
The girls both opted to gather candy without their cool mom and dad. Kate traveled around as a yellow M & M with one of her best friends, and Aud traveled in a large group of princesses.
By the end of the night, the girls had a ton of candy, cold toes, warm hearts, and a stomach full of Jack o'Lantern pizza from Papa Murphy's.
The girls had a lot of fun following our football team this fall. Not only did we win more games than we have in recent years, but we also made it far into the playoffs. A new middle school student section was introduced this year, which gave our wacky ladies one year of cheering in the same section. We also enjoyed a fun Homecoming week of dress up days, parades, and a Pirate victory! Some pretty awesome memories were made this fall. Go, Pirates! We are already excited for next season.
Audrey's volleyball season was unfortunately cut short, as she hurt her knee one day in PE. She was jumping sideways to do a warm up and felt a burst of pain. After collapsing down, she visited the nurse at school where swelling was noticed. After a trip to Urgent Care, an x-ray, many weeks on crutches, a much later MRI, and an appointment with an orthopedic doctor, it has been determined Audrey fractured her kneecap and also experienced a sprain.
Now many weeks later, things are healing, and Aud is doing physical therapy. The structure of her kneecap will make her prone to more injuries in the future. We will cross our fingers this can be avoided! It hasn't been the easiest experience for our girl, but she has showed a fairly positive attitude. 😊
