Camryn's first basketball was this weekend, and it was pure entertainment. There was a lot of movement; not all of which was part of the game. We also saw lots of skipping, twirling, waving, running to the sidelines for high fives, shirt-over-the-head-flipping, and even nose picking. Camryn's biggest claim to fame so far is her need to "suck it up."
Twice she was injured during the game. She ended up with one handful of jammed fingers, and one bonk on the head when another child's aim didn't make the basket. Instead of shaking it off like the others, she took her injuries very personally, and cried, eventually needing to be escorted off the court. Brian and I took turns riding the bench with her while she recovered from her injuries. Overall though, she got through it, and enjoyed herself. Afterward, while trying to catch his breath, Coach Z. said it perfectly, "It's like herding cats!"
That evening, we headed to the Olson's for their annual pumpkin carving party. Camryn ended up not carving the pumpkin we brought for her, because she was having too much fun playing dress up and practicing trick-or-treating with her friends. 
They took turns answering the door and ringing the doorbell, just to yell, "Trick or treat!" at each other. (And for the record, yes, I think their Halloween decorations are slightly disturbing. The kids didn't seem to mind, though. They just called this one "Mr. Guy," and laughed at him!
On Sunday, we celebrated Uncle Dan's birthday with him by having lunch at Famous Dave's BBQ. Man, were we all stuffed afterward!
And tonight, we finished off our weekend by carving all of our pumpkins and baking pumpkin seeds. It's been yet another weekend where we feel like we need an extra day to recoup. Fun, but exhausting!
