We got lucky this Halloween with extremely mild temps and no rain for the first time in years! It was forecasted to be very windy and possibly rainy, but it wasn't. We kept our family tradition of going to Jackie's for Halloween dinner of chili and nachos. We took some group pictures and went our separate ways. This year Sean and Evan both wanted inflatable costumes, which were fun in theory, but quite difficult to run and trick or treat in.

Sean's West Catholic Football Season
Sean just finished his first season of tackle football. We decided when school let out in June that he would play for the West Catholic Warriors. We knew one of the coaches that coached Evan's age and he sent on our name to the head coach for 8th grade. Sean had a full summer of football camps, clinics, and practices. It was a big adjustment for him to get used to having practices 5 days a week and a game on the weekend, but he managed it really well with school and homework! He ended up playing second string on the defensive line as defensive tackle or nose guard. He got playing time in every game but one and improved a lot by the time the season ended.
They ended their season in a 3-way tie for 1st place, but fell short based on goal differential. They didn't get to play at Ford Field for the Prep Bowl, but ended up getting an opportunity to play at the Big House under the lights instead and it was an amazing experience!
