October was a busy but fun month. We started out in London, so it doesn't get much better than that. Then we celebrated Lily's birthday just after returning home. The rest of the month had lots of fun happenings too.
The Stonehaven volleyball team continued to have a great season. It's so much fun to watch Lily and her friends play. They even won their region for the very first time! Go Knights!
The girls eventually lost in the playoffs to a really great team. It was a really fantastic season!
I am still enjoying ordering my Goldbellys from around the country. This Fall Kringle from a bakery in Wisconsin was a pretty big hit. It was really yummy and the cinnamon apple flavor brought a welcome taste of fall.
We were happy to have Paige come over to spend the night with Mia one evening. Butterbeer mustaches are always fun!
The Upper School completed their Color Run; it was quite the colorful event again this year! Lily, Avery, and Katie sported their colors beautifully.
Mia has been sewing again! It's so fun when she gets creative and makes something awesome with her sewing machine. She made this sweet red Peter Pan quote pillow for our little friend, Wendy, as she celebrated her first birthday. She also made this adorable fantasy stuffed animal which was so cute!
I had a blast taking Lily, Lauren, Mia, and Yabsera to see The Eras Tour movie one afternoon. It was fantastic! The girls and I loved reliving this concert, and we all had fun singing along.
Ryan couldn't resist buying this little Grinch waffle maker at Hobby Lobby one day, so we had to try it out. The waffles were super cute with that Grinch smile on them. What a fun breakfast-for-dinner!
Lily and Addison threw a surprise 18th birthday party for Lauren one evening! Lots of friends from school came, they played some pickleball, and had a great time celebrating sweet Lauren.
We always love when Bama comes to visit! We enjoyed a fun weekend together which included teaching her how to ax throw. She got the hang of it!
Earlier this year Ryan and I decided to invest in season tickets to Broadway in Atlanta at the Fox for our family. We were all pretty excited that the season is now underway! First up was MJ. This musical about Michael Jackson was fantastic. We all loved it. The way they told this story was really well done. We did have to explain a little more about MJ's story to the girls as we left, but we were glad to really introduce his music to them.
We learned in intermission at the show that the girls had never seen the Thriller video, so of course we had to watch it as soon as we got home. We then spent more time looking up some of his famous dance moves to show them too, so they could see him perform them. This was a fun evening!
Halloween arrived, and Lily had fun hanging out with friends in the Charlton Forge neighborhood. She was dressed as Tweety Bird's basketball player from Space Jam. Such a cutie.
Mia unfortunately was sick and had to miss school that day. I took her to CVS that afternoon; thankfully she tested negative for covid, flu, and strep. Even though she didn't feel great, she was able to enjoy an evening at home with Ryan and me. We made some spooky cheeseburgers, graveyard pudding, and chips with (salsa) blood. That's as much Halloween celebrating that I do.
This was such a fun month from beginning to end!
