Sideline Grandma


A new little doggie has joined the Sideline family. Her name is Bella, as you can tell the poor little girl is terribly neglected.

After a few months away from you, away from blogging, it's time to catch up with the kids..
and with you, if you're still around.
Are you?
Who knew a blog could take so much energy, it's only thinking! Well, and typing, and spell checking.

With holiday gatherings just around the next week and a baby due just around another month.
Let's catch up.

No I've not made any new sugar scrub mixtures.. thanks for asking!

I've been occupied with getting out of bed in the morning, reaching for the coffee pot in the dark and grinding some brew.
Then checking the day's agenda for what the honey bunches will be doing that day.

You understand the dilemma of where to start don't you?

How about here?

In September these three started middle school..

They went with a nerds and baby look for Halloween.

Sweet huh?

There was fall softball in fabulously warm and yummy weather. And they won, they won everything they could possibly win! Such a great team!

Middle school = band or orchestra.

And this gal.. right here, this is not in a Halloween costume, she's in theatrical costume for the part of Pitchwoman in the play "The Rememberer".
She was a little bit frightening, and, bless her heart and legs she choreographed her dance as an American Indian legend. It was strange and powerful and well done!

Then there's this..
the same young woman.

OK now my heart is chuckling.. because he makes it chuckle.
Honestly, he does, the little bundle.

soon to be big brother..

awwwww... look how grown up he's getting and so sweet and tough! I need to stop this post soon or I'll be a weepy mess.

Just last weekend we took the four boys to the codge. It was a full blown memory book event for at least one person.
That would be Sideline Grandma.

At four years old he's way too young to be doing this. We let him have a go at it for a short time until his older cousins put a stop to it. After all they had to be 10 years old to use the axe. That settled that.
And he still has 10 toes!
