Our first Spike Africa Raceday

Our family had another outing near another sporting venue this weekend, altho this time we were spectators, at a sport on the water.  Luckily the weather was mild for November.  It was fun to see all the girls on the crew team in uniforms made by them for raceday, what a fun tradition. They have so much energy and very loud vocal chords too, as the cheering for your favorite team uniforms contest rocked the boathouse.

It was really super cool to see Alaina rowing with a team and the 850 race was exciting and a close win!

My whipped up Mary Poppins costume

Well I whipped up a Mary Poppins costume, Mary Poppins style, the night before Halloween, from props in my basement.  I am thinking we have too much stuff if I was able to get this close.  This is me at the end of a long day at school, the kids loved it.

Of course there were some students who have never heard of Mary, can you imagine?  Many kiddo's thought I might be a leprechaun?  hmmmm, next years costume idea?

3 recess Amigo's

3 crazy recess Halloween Amigo's:

Oh yes, 3 new Sheriff's for recess duty!  Too bad the mustaches were itchy and sticky. Not missing wearing the mustache one bit. Have enough shaving to do as it is, right?  

Howdy Pardner the kids had us saying :)  Some also wanted to know why there were 3 Sheriff's too.  Well where there's smoke....
