October becomes November with barely a notice in our schedule, other than dark mornings and even darker evenings. Ella performed her whole marching band routine on the football field and it was "wicked' good and great to see all her hard work. Merrick ended his outdoor season before the snow hit the air, but Sophia was a little less lucky and played it our until the bitter end. They will both follow Grace indoors, them for soccer and Grace for basketball. Grace played her opening tournament Saturday and started scoring points in the first game. By the end of the third game she was still scoring but also taking a very active leadership role on the court. We hit the pumpkin sales late but scored the two for one deals and made the rotted little gourds last for a week or so. Certainly long enough to get through the trick-or-treating night. The kids were gone, Grace was out with a friend and Merrick and Ella were at parties and Sophia was collecting for UNICEF with a friend as part of school project. Topping Halloween for the week in review as the Ed Sheeran concert. The Breweres played deep into the playoffs causing out concert date to get postponed but it worked out better for the kids...no school the next day and we drove to Miller Park to take in the show. A great time was had by all and I think they slept in the next day as well.
