We are finally leaving September in the dust. It was unseasonably HOT - temps and heat indices in the 90's clear through this week! We are looking forward to turning the calendar to October, and the cooler weather that is promised with it! (I know we will be complaining about the cold soon enough, but for now, we are just done with the heat! It was a long summer... TOO LONG!) We are looking forward to the host of birthdays we celebrate in October, cooler football games, and all the comforts of fall. Crisp air, warm sweaters, leaves changing color, wrapping up in a blanket, and fall scented candles...
Friday Night Lights in Stillwater consisted of our Homecoming festivities and a 48-10 win against Deer Creek. It was a nice night, but a very boring game. And this night was not at all what we had been dreaming about for years, but we made the most of it! Emma and the rest of Lara's Horinek clan made an appearance. AND! Halftime Selfies are BACK!

The weekend brought on a few more first for the girls. Lara started her first non-babysitting job! She joined her sister working at the Missy's Bakery, Deli, and Donuts shop just off I-35 in Guthrie as a working girl! She worked most of a shift on Saturday but then had to get back to Stillwater before the OSU football game started since she had previously agreed to babysit some kiddos. I posted this photo:
On Sunday, the Stillwater crew took in brunch at Granny's kitchen while Emma went shopping for a longboard. She had spent the night in Perkins with Nana and Grandpa, and she had some cash burning a hole in her pocket - new wheels on her mind. Later Sunday afternoon, Lara was babysitting again, and Emma brought her new toy over for the boys to try it out. She is pretty good at it! Maybe we will see her zooming across the Oklahoma State University Campus on it very soon! (I wish I had a picture!)
It's hard to believe we are on the cusp of October. This month will have senior pictures, ACT tests, and lots and lots of football, homework, and jobs. So grateful for this season in our lives, but I know the end is coming very soon!
