The Fog Game

Our Springboro team made it to the playoffs with a bye the first week and then home advantage the second week. However, we ended up playing against Springfield so we weren't optimistic. It was a cool, crisp fall evening, with a big orange moon, perfect for some football!

The Pauls sat right in front of us with cute little Scarlett making us laugh.

Right before halftime the fog started rolling in!

During halftime I took tons of video of the fog rolling in from behind the stadium and across the field and, as the second half started, the fog kept getting thicker and thicker.

It was so eerie!

It got to the point where we could barely see the players on the field.

Probably a good thing, though, as our team got stomped on and we lost the game and football came to an end for our Panthers.

Witches Night

Better late than never!

This year we just never found the time to do our annual Witches Night during October so November 1st had to do. Everything about it was kinda sub par - held at our house, no food, not too dressed up, Ciara absent for half the time, Mom only stayed for about 30 minutes, poor lighting for pictures - but at least we did it!

The highlight was that Savannah was there which made it special.

After watching Hocus Pocus we grabbed a few more pictures.

Hopefully next year we can make it a special event once again!

College Day and Swim!

College Game Day was at Utah for the Utah/Cincinnati game!

And my favorite, Alex Smith, was there for it!

Most of them picked Utah for the win!

Go Utes! And we did get the win!

In the afternoon we headed up to Wittenberg to cheer on McKenna.

She's one of the captains this year.

Savannah was visiting for the weekend so it was fun for her to be there to cheer on her cousin.

Finishing Up October

Finished up my long term sub job! It was so much fun!

The rug! Mr. Pohlman, the teacher across the hall, has this rug in the entryway of his classroom and every day I watch students trip over it as it gets progressively more bunched up...and no one ever stops to fix it! So it became a joke between us because it irks me so much! On my last day of subbing, when I opened my classroom door, there it was, all scrunched up, begging me to trip over it, ha ha!

Grabbed a few selfies with some of my favorites!

Friday night lights! It was a cold one as we took on Miamisburg for our very last game of the season.

One of my favorite freshman students, Ace.

We came away with the win and ended up with a 7-3 record and a bye for the first week of playoffs.

Kellan's last JV game of the season. For some crazy scheduling reason, we ended up playing on Miamisburg's crappy junior high field.

And boy, was it cold! Hangin' with Kellan's girlfriend Zoe.

We kicked their bootie but poor Kellan hurt his hand during the game. It was incredibly swollen and bruised by the end of it. 

But what a great season he had! He started on the sideline but when the opportunity came, he made the most of it and had some really big plays throughout the season.

When Tricia comes to visit we become the Sunday lunch crew.

Love, love, love my book clubs! Especially when Heidi pulls out her readers!

Our History Book Club read this month was Landscape Turned Red by Stephen W. Sears and it was excellent!

Feeling the Halloween vibes for our Classics book club - Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Halloween was a very ho hum experience this year. No kids at home, Clark kids off with their own friends, took an hour to get our pizza, and in total 7 trick or treaters at the door. Very low key.

At least we had fun people to hang out with!
