Bob had the week off to work on the barn roof. However, Hurricane Sandy's far-reaching effects negated that effort and he spent the time off doing other things around the house. He also had a few doctor's appointments.
Suzy and James both had an eye doctor appointment. Turns out James needs glasses. So, we ordered him a pair he likes and he will have them on November 6th. Suzy's eyes were fine! (By the way, David also found out he needed glasses at age 12, the age James is now.)
I bribed David to take the kids trick-or-treating since the weather was unpleasantly cold and wet. It ended up that he took James and a friend of James' and the girls went with a couple other moms and some other girls. I got to stay home where it was warm. And I worked.
Thursday was a CRAZY-BUSY day but it went off without a hitch. Bob went one direction - a doctor appointment and a dentist appointment. David went another direction - off to a STEM (Sci/Tech/Engineering/Math) career expo with a friend and his parents. The other three kids and I went a third direction - to my writing classes and karate. Afterwards we met up with David and a bunch of NaNoWriMo homeschool friends and had a write-in at the new froyo place in Lapeer.
Friday was co-op - all went pretty well there. Afterwards the girls went to a sleepover at church and we had a friend over for James.
Saturday morning we all got up early and headed out to drop David off at the local airport for a field trip and pick the girls up from their sleepover. We ended up going back to the airport to see more of the planes taking off and landing. David was up in one of the 4-seater planes when we returned and my other kids were offered a ride too. Only James was brave enough to go. I was really glad the boys both were able to participate in that!

David got his braces on today. Expected to take about 24 months.
James will get his glasses tomorrow.
We went to a newcomer luncheon at church. There were about 5 couples at the luncheon - pretty nice.
David's soccer awards night is Thursday - his last one. That makes me sad.
We have our karate test on Saturday. If we pass, we are red belts. And that puts us in the advanced category. Time to really work hard!
