Sports

Tymber has been playing sports. She ran in cross country this fall and now she is playing basketball. Today she had a game, they scored 22 points, beating the other team by 12 points. Tymber scored 4 points. They only compete with one other charter school. So there is only 2 games. It is really nice because she can do all of these sports that she would never have a chance to experience at the middle school. Everyone plays no matter what and it only costs about 15.00 to participate. Plus because they only have two or three games the schedule isn't overwhelming. When basketball is over she wants to do volleyball and then I think cross country will start again.

Beautiful

I was brushing Hope's hair and she was asking me how to spell all of these different words, like lamp, chair, table, etc. Autumn asked her "how do you spell silly". I replied "HOPE". Then Hope asked " how do you spell beautiful" Autumn replies "Autumn". Without missing a beat Hope tells Autumn she is wrong, "you spell it MOM". Ha that child is so great. I told her she was my favorite.

Then Tymber was practicing flute tonight and Hope informed her she sounded so bad even the cat had to wear ear muffs because her ears hurt so bad. What a nut.

Holidays

Wow Thanksgiving and Christmas are sneaking up fast. I am trying to get most of my shopping done on line where possible. I hate the crowds. We already have the older 2 their main gift. I think they will love it.

Dang it has been so cold. The wind is just yucky. It is going to be a long winter I think.

Halloween

Halloween was soooo cold this year. I would have preferred to trunk-or-treat at the church, 10 minutes and it's done. Hope would not even consider it she just HAD to go see and be with her cousins. I was really bad and did not take many pictures.
I am embarrassed to say even Autumn went. I told her she was to old but she didn't care, I guess if she is gutsy enough to do it then more power to her. She put leaves in her hair and went as "Autumn". You have to admit it's pretty funny. Hope was a witch and Tymber was a Gothic person that raised zombies or something.

talent

Tymber is amazingly talented. She loves to draw, is always making little clothes for the barbie dolls out of scrap material and taught herself to crochet after she learned a few basic stitches. She is always making and creating things to make. The other day she told me she was making herself some gloves and spent hours and hours working on one. We ran out of material so she only has one made but will be making the other soon. Keep in mind she has no pattern or any guide she follows, she just sees it in her head and creates!!!! Pretty impressive I think.
