OUR GROWING FAMILY: Missing in action AGAIN

Wow I really have a hard time keeping up with this. I do love to do it but it does not end up on the top of the list very often. We have been having a blast (I think)! October flew by. We did the pumpkin farm with school, carved pumpkins, had a Halloween party at our house with trick or treating! I spent most of the month getting ready for that and getting all the kids costumes together. We did a Wizard of Oz theme. I will post a picture. Kenzie was Dorthy, Clayton - Lion, Calvin - Scarecrow, Mom - Glenda the good witch, Grandma Grace - evil witch, Ben and Grandpa Dick - Lollypop guild (muchkins) and Cameron was suppose to be the Tin Man (made a costume and all) but he decided he did not want to do it. Anyway it was a great time overall. Already trying to think of themes for next year. Any suggestions let me know!!!! We also got to celebrate the Rettler side of Thanksgiving already and the new truck got it's first ouchie. A row of carts at the store give it a pretty nice dent. Not fun. Then our 5 year anniversary and the St. Peter's dinner auction. On top of all this party stuff the twins have started Red Rhino wrestling club 2 nights per week which really keeps us chasing. They are loving it and it is so cute to watch. Being that they are the two smallest in the club they really only wrestle each other but it is still very entertaining. Cameron completed his first tackle football season without any major injuries and really started showing his true colors by the last game. He did a great job making the best of things and worked hard to prove himself. So proud of all the progress he made this season. Now we will be gearing up for wrestling to start for him soon also. We just finished first quarter grades and all three of the boys are doing very well and had good report cards. PROUD PARENTS! Again I am off and running. Have to work on the Christmas cards!!!!!
