Districts!

Today was our District Swim meet.....the meet where we qualify for state!  I had 7 girls fully tapered for this meet....and 5 that were re-tapering from either the City or MVC Sophomore meets.  It was a fun meet with a lot of FAST SWIMMING! 

 My 7 top varsity girls!

Trick-or-Treat

Kelly and Molly BOTH wanted to be Monster High girls for Halloween this year.....and we went trick-or-treating with some cousins and friends that were Monster High Girls too.  It was a little cold this year on Halloween.....but that didn't stop the girls from getting a lot of goodies!

 Molly is Ghoula & Kelly is Draculaura

 Silly sisters!

 The girls second cousins that just moved back to Dubuque from Arizona came with us too.....

 ....and then our neighbors as well!

***SIX MONSTER HIGH GIRLS!***

Emeri, Molly, Kaitlyn, Lexi, Kelly, & Ember

While we were trick-or-treating....Molly ran into her friend Ava from school.  Too fun!

Carving Pumpkins

Brian carved pumpkins with the girls tonight while I was coaching. Kelly LOVED it and jumped right in.......while Molly really didn't want anything to do with it.....so she just bedazzled her little pumpkins instead!

Kelly's 2nd Grade Field Trip

Kelly had her first field trip of 2nd grade today - at the Osborne Nature Center in Waterloo, IA.  It was a little chilly....but it didn't rain!  Kelly said she had a great time!!!!!  Here are a couple pictures from another Mom, since I didn't attend the field trip.

This afternoon was the Dyersville Girl Scouts Halloween Party.  Kelly always enjoys all the games and Halloween activities....and of course dressing up too!  Next year, Molly will be able to join us at all of these Dyersville girl scout events too!

MVC Sophomore

We had our MVC Frosh/Soph meet in Cedar Falls today!  This is the second meet where I have tapered swimmers.  I have a very small group of younger swimmers this year....only 5 girls!

The girls standing are all tapered for this meet....where Carlie (sitting) is tapering for Districts next week.

Kelly's new hat

Kelly loves her new HAT that she picked out at JUSTICE....her favorite store!
