The weekend

Friday -
Isaac went to the Battle of the Axe football game between LHS and rival Marcus. We had 18 friends and family scheduled to be on the 45 yard line to support our daughter's last performance with the marching band. Besides being one of the most popular grudge matches in the area, it was also Senior Night for our Senior sister, Brea. She was in the front as they marched off the field and she ended up standing right in front of us. Isaac ran down to say hi, but she was still in marching mode and could not do anything but stand at attention. She said all she wanted to do was jump the railing and give us hugs. Tears and fun for all.

Unfortunately we were playing one of the better teams in our district, so we were not winning, but the performance and the game were great. It turned cold, however, so we decided in the third quarter to leave.

Saturday - Jackie and Isaac came to the house to get ready. They slept in at the apartment this morning. We went to our adult co-ed soccer game, then lunch, then trick or treating at Grapevine Mills. An email had been sent regarding the shops letting kids Trick or Treat on Saturday night from 6-8. We soon learned that was a mis-communication, and they would be doing it on Halloween instead. It was ok, though, because Railroad Park was having Spooktacular, a festival created by the city to alleviate any issues of trick or treating, especially for little kids. It was made up of games for young children managed by local school district student volunteers. That was FUN, and we saw friends in the process.

Sunday - Lazy day at the house, then Mom took us back to the apartment for Monday morning.

Monday - Mom picked up Isaac from the apartment after work, and brought him to the mall for the scheduled Trick or Treat event. We walked all the way around the mall, stopping wherever was a sign showing they were participating. Many of the ones we found didn't have anything left, despite their sign still on the front door.
Fuddruckers for dinner, and I took him back to the apartment. I told him I would have to leave early in the morning to get back to the house so I could get ready for work. I woke him up early this morning and reminded him I was leaving, and would not be here when he got up to go to the clinic. I got the universal "OK" sign, which is Isaac for when he doesn't want to take the time to speak. LOL
