It was Friday Night Lights with minor tweaks to the marching band’s show and another win (63-37) for the Hickman football team. We are Hickman!
Friday Night Lights
Homecoming Dance
Tonight is John’s last Homecoming dance.
We met Ari and their friends at Shelter Gardens for pictures.
John and Ari looked great together!
It is a little strange that the Homecoming Dance was on a Thursday night, but it actually worked out well for the band kids since they have a competition in O’Fallon, Missouri, on Saturday.
After pictures, the kids went to Olive Garden for dinner and then to the dance. John said that they had a lot of fun. We are already two months into Senior year. Time is flying by.
Relaxation
Academy Village Wine Walk
Andy and I went to the Academy Village Wine Walk this evening.
It was a beautiful evening and the perfect weather to try twelve different wines. It was a great evening out with my love.
Crafty
When I am looking for something unique for Christmas gifts, I end up with melt and pour soaps after doing lots of research! We shall see how these turn out.
I started with a goat’s milk soap base that was surprisingly easy to cut into small cubes.
Then, I added the essential oils, honey, and oatmeal. The rectangle soaps are Lavender Lemon with Oatmeal, and the square/round soaps are Honey Lemon with Oatmeal. Now, to let them set up and then give them a try.
If it works, I see adding some soap colorant in my future along with some different scents, lavender buds, etc.
Be still my crafty heart! I know you only pop out when the project at hand is super easy, but this was fun!
Senior Sunday
Grand Champions!
It was a great day at the Rock Bridge High School Marching Festival. We got to see Caleb, our favorite Rock Bridge Senior.
At the preliminary competition, we got to watch the Hickman High School Marching Band take first place in their division out of seven bands. They scored a 79.1!
In the finals competition, we got to watch Hickman put on the best performance of the year!
And, the judges agreed, because they won all the caption awards and took Grand Champion with a score of 80.9!
Congratulations to the Hickman High School Marching Band! Your heart, determination, and dedication shined bright tonight. Enjoy all that hardware. You earned it!
