September and October were pretty hectic but things are slowing down now. November is slower in the sense that we don't have sports. This is the month we don't have to run home, get dinner on the table and rush out to football or cheerleading... We have a break until December when basketball starts for both Evan and Madeleine.
Evan's football season ended with a 3-5-2 record. The team improved as the season progressed which was good to see. Madeleine's cheer team improved as well. A highlight in October for Madeleine was Fun Day. This is a time when about 35 cheer squads get together in a confined place and compete for awards like "best sprit, and best program". Tina was able to take Madeleine there for the day. Evan and I joined them after Evan's football game. The team did well and had a lot of fun. Both are intending to continue their respective sports next year. 
This fall we focused on projects around the house. We updated the landscaping, replaced the walkway and built some retaining walls. We haven't updated anything in a long time and some plants were looking pretty bad. It was time to make a change. 
We were very happy with the results.
Inside we replaced the baseboards on the 1st floor and added wainscoting to the dining room, foyer and second floor hallway. Also we added wood trim to the 1st floor windows and room openings. It took a while and we are glad it's finally completed. After this it's the roof and kitchen... The fun never ends.

Love the pics- the house looks awesome! I know what you mean about the "fun never ending"- in renting we are getting a break from home renovations like you are getting a break from sports this month- nice, but won't last long. :)Madeleine looks like she has the most spirit to me. Enjoy your month of calm. :)
