Of Pumpkins and Pennys

Karen and the girls and I are keeping busy settling into our respective roles in Peoria. Last Saturday was the Bradley Chem Club's first big science demo event in about 16 months.  It was a little chaotic and took a bit more prep than ususal, but it went well.   Kris's soccer team tied a second game in their season (last regular season game is tomorrow).  Sunday school has also begun at St. Anthony's - we have 8 kindergarteners.  Friday night we made a few quick s'mores in the backyard. Yesterday, Karen and the girls went to the Morton Pumpkin Festival and had fun.  Katie catapulted a candy pumpkin.  Yesterday Karen's dad came to visit - that was fun, too.
