Halloween looks a little different this year because it was sprinkling, so we decided to skip the fire. Instead, we are sitting on the front porch. Bring on the trick-or-treaters!
Happy Halloween!
Mushrooms
Apparently, the roots from the ash tree that we had removed from our front yard are decomposing. That is a lot of mushrooms!
Shampoo Bar
When a friend asks if you have ever thought about making a shampoo bar, you find a recipe.
It looks weird, the color rose to the top of the mold, and it is going to take hours to set up. Hopefully, it will work!
Wednesday Nights
Wednesday nights are for the Green & Black ride along with wine and pizza at Shakespeare’s!
Sunrise
Camping
Andy has been asking to go camping for a night for a while now, so we went today. We stayed at the Katy Roundhouse in New Franklin and enjoyed gorgeous weather.
We had a great dinner and then enjoyed wine by the fire.
It was pretty much the perfect evening.
Bands of America
While we were at WIU Homecoming yesterday, the SEMO Marching Band was the afternoon exhibition band at the Bands of America St. Louis Super Regional. Throughout the day, I was getting pictures sent to me.
Laura was able to do this two years ago with SEMO, but this was John’s first time in the exhibition band. It is a huge difference when the point of your band is to entertain the crowd.
Between little green men at the SEMO table, crowd surfacing aliens, amazing sound, and TWO standing ovations, both of the kids were excited and happy after the performance.
College marching band is just not the same as high school, and I love that our kids are getting to experience all the differences!
