I found out the Monster Mash was cancelled and my reaction was, "That's ok-I won't miss any of it when it is rescheduled" because I had a soccer game already scheduled. People are always impressed at my positive attitude and ability to let things go. So, I was able to have my last soccer game. There weren't a lot of players so I got a lot of playing time. I was sad when it was over. Even though we didn't score many goals this year, I had so much fun with my new and old friends on the field.
We are still going to Church. Mom took Ellie and me one Sunday and then she too me to the Church pumpkin party. We painted pumpkins, decorated cookies, and played games. I also got to go to Ellie's youth group haunted hayride. She hung out with her friends and I made some friends of my own. I got to go on the hayride too and it was pretty cool. I wish we had taken pictures!
Our school was out for two days before Halloween and Ellie and I stayed at home while Mom and Dad were at work the first day. Nana Arden came and brought us McDonald's just like last year. Dad was off work the second day and got McDonald's and we went over to Nana Arden's. Ellie got her flu shot and we both got treats from Hy-Vee for being brave!
I got my flu shot at school and did great! A few weeks later, Mom took me to get my Covid vaccine! I was really nervous, but mostly because I saw the rest of my family get sick afterward. I didn't though! Go immunity!
Mom, Dad, and I played tennis one Saturday morning and I had a lot of fun. I really enjoy that sport. Mom took Ellie and me to the MU volleyball game. I didn't want to go until they were leaving. I'm glad I went because it was a lot of fun. The next day was Halloween! I wore Ellie's old Uma (from Descendents) costume for the school party. We created an Enderman costume for me to wear on Halloween. Mom and Dad took me around because Ellie went with her friends. I had fun trick-or-treating, but I was really excited about handing out candy. (I really like to change my mind at the last second and it drives Mom crazy!)
Our class took a field trip to the Audubon Society and we learned a lot about birds. Mom was able to meet us there! It was a lot of fun learning about birds (especially turkey vultures), hearing their songs, seeing how scientists document birds, and so much more! I told Mom at the end, "Thank you for taking time off from your busy work to come with me." She smiled really big and I think I even saw a tear in her eye.
Grandma Kathy came and stayed with us for a few days while Mom and Dad went to their conference. It was so much fun having her here, and I didn't want her to leave. Aunt Lisa brought us to and from school those days, but I had my conference on Tuesday. Mrs. Heath said I am doing great and she is so proud of how compassionate and caring I am of my classmates. Mom and Dad were pretty proud too! We got another day off school after that and it was nice to have a break after time without Mom and Dad.
I am absolutely obsessed with Minecraft. That's all I like to talk about and sometimes it gets me in trouble. I talk to my friends sometimes during class about it. I also forget what I need to be doing when I am playing it. I have to stay in Mom's office in the morning because I wasn't getting where I needed to go in time. A lot of times, she has to walk all over the building to find me after school because I don't always stay in one place. I don't see a problem with it until I get in trouble. Another thing I love to do is created things out of yarn and string. I have pieces of it all over my floor, in addition to tape. If only everyone could be so creative!
