THE GRINSTEAD FAMILY

UNI HOMECOMING
We went to the UNI Homecoming game on Saturday afternoon. It was a great game and the Panthers won!! Yeah! We met up with some friends prior to the game for some tailgating. Jake & his buddies played football in the grass, Allie & her friends messed around & munched on snacks while the adults hung out & talked. After the game, we came back to our house & ordered pizza with our friends.
Allie got to meet a real UNI cheerleader!

UNDEFEATED!
Jake's football team played their last game of the season on Saturday morning. They beat the Cardinals 48-2. They ended up their season undefeated (6-0 record). Jake scored an extra point and pulled a couple of flags. He had a surprise fan show up at his game, Uncle Michael!! Jake was thrilled! He always loves to see extra people at his games to support him!
Jake is ready for the handoff!

CHEERLEADING CAMP
Allie went to cheerleading camp on Saturday morning. She learned some new "Tiger" cheers & chants. She received the "jumps" award for her great jumps in practice. She will get to perform at a CF game in a couple of weeks.

JR. JAZZERCISE

Allie went to a Jr. Jazzercise class with her friend Jordyn on Friday night. She absolutely loved it & wants to go every Friday night. There were several of her friends there & there was lots of dancing to fun music...what little girl wouldn't love that??

A VISIT FROM AN OLD FRIEND

My dear friend from college, Cris came to visit on Thursday night. She brought her mom & 2 boys along. Conner is just a couple of months old (was born on Allie's b-day) & Caiden will be 2 in January. Allie loved playing the mother hen role to the boys while Cris and I caught up. It had been over 2 years since I had seen Cris & we just picked up right where we left off. It is funny how there are certain friends that you can do that with no matter how long it has been since you've seen them...Cris is definitely one of those friends.

RAINGUTTER REGATTA

Jake participated in the Raingutter Regatta race for Scouts the other night. He did really well and advanced to the very end. He was pretty excited that his boat did great!

OTHER STUFF

I had a PTA meeting on Tuesday night. Our superintendent came and spoke about the possible redistricting that could be happening next year. There were a lot of upset people in attendance!

I went to a Taste of Home party on Friday night with a group of my girlfriends. We did lots of laughing & talking while the party was going on. I ordered a really cool bowl set.

I had to take my BD kids to a play on Friday morning. We saw "Tomas & the Library Lady", which was really good. There were 4 adults to the 6 kids that we took! We needed that ratio! My job is still up in the air. There is potentially a new job open in the district that I might be interested in, we'll have to see how that plays out.

This week brings ballet, 2 soccer practices, 2 soccer games, Daisy Scouts, Wolf Scouts, a camp out for Wolf Scouts, religion class & round 2 of my Hepatitis shots (since I work at a school, I had to get the series).
