Okay....Better get your popcorn..I have sooo much to blog about. I am so behind on the happenings that have been going on...buckle down and get ready:
Okay..I am going to back track a little now. On November 8th the annual Fall Festival was held at the school. The Fall Festival helps each grade earn money for their Senior Trip. The Parents Club always has bingo with terrific prizes, this year was no exception, and that money goes towards Scholarships. The First graders (Maegen) had a football toss and a longhorn ride (will post a picture later). The Fifth graders (Rhaeden) had a roping dummy and auctioned off an autographed football from the 2008 District Champion Borden County Coyotes. The Juniors (D'Nae) had a haunted house and a Sweet Shop. I had to make 5 deserts for the sweet shop. Here are a couple of pics from the creepy haunted house workers while they were getting into costume: BOO !!!
Last Tuesday Basketball officially started. Although they had played two scrimmages with three teams and won them all...the games have begun. The girls won their first game of the season with a win over Meadow 66-39. Then, because of the Bi-District Football game on Friday night, the girls played their next game on Saturday against Westbrook. For the last two years Westbrook has been in our District and with the new alignment they are no longer District rivalries. There have been some really tough and hard fought close games. So we were expecting nothing less. The girls came out ready to play and Westbrook just didn't have the game that they normally have. The girls won the game 64-36.
Mike has been baling hay at night and early in the morning...Guess who gets to "take" him and "pick" him up when he needs a ride back to his pick-up ?? You guessed it...ME !!! Anyone have hay to be baled ?
Rhaeden at the moment is not doing anything "extra-curricular." I believe he is doing two UIL events this week so hopefully he will do good !! Go Rhaeden !!
Have I bored you to tears yet ? Well, I still have one more child (hint the reference to my husband) that I have not talked about and that would be Maegen. Again this year the Jr. High cheerleaders held a "mini cheer camp" and the little kids were allowed to perform during the pep rally that day and again at halftime of the Junior High Football game. Just a little background..I was called to school to pick Maegen up because she had vomitted twice that morning. I went to get her and she looked sick !! She was pale and you could tell she just didn't feel good. About 10 miles out of town, she sits up and just starts talking my ear off. We get back to town and she is hungry so I go to McDonald's and get a chicken nugget kids meal (this will definately tell me if she is really sick). Guess What ? She ate every bit of it and did not get sick. So that afternoon I took her to Granny and PaPa's and she ate everything in sight !! She was NOT sick..I think she was just nervous because she really didn't know all of her routines. So, I took her back to Gail that night for her performace. Here is a short video of the halftime performance:
I will try to do a little better about the blogging. In my defense...I have A LOT of happenings to attend and try to remember !!
