The Latest

Hello, friends!
Life has been busy here lately.
I'm writing while dinner is being cooked on the grill,
so let's get right down to business.
Here's the latest happenings at casa de Soladay.

*This past week was homecoming here in big P.
The entire school district celebrated .
The entire town celebrated.
Even the boys' orthodontist decorated their office in green and white.
I love living here.
It still has that small town feel.
Wednesday night was the homecoming parade,
so we ventured out with the rest of the community to watch.
The homecoming court
and the varsity football team
It brought back lots of memories from when I was in high school.
A long time ago.
Almost 20 years in fact.

*Austin made the freshman baseball team,
and they had their first off season game at home on Saturday.
Check out the facilities below.
The field is turf.
Certainly a step up from my high school.
Oh, and the basketball gym has stadium seating and a huge jumbo tron.
Seriously!?
These kids have know idea how good they have it.

*I did a little more fall decorating this weekend.
Next weekend is when I bring out the Halloween stash.
Cannot wait.
For now I'll settle for fall.
Recognize the candle, Carrie?

* I also started working on a new gallery wall.
It's just a start.
The carpet isn't really this ugly.
I have a few more ideas for later, but for now, it is what it is.
You likey?
I found the "Family Rules" sign at Walmart of all places.

*The littlest things make me happy,
like this organizer I found up in New York while staying with Carol.
Each of the younger boys has their own slot where all their homework,
notes from school, mail {like Carter's Highlights magazine and the latest Halloween costume catalogue} etc. is neatly organized instead of in random piles all over the kitchen counter.
Love.

*Trysten had his first basketball game of the season this weekend.
His teammates call him Little Dirk.
He loves it.
We're so happy that T has finally found something that he loves to do.
He scored about 10 points!
Way to go Trysten!

Annnnnnnnnd done.
Not a very exciting post, but it's all I have!
Have a great week!!
