Like everything else so far in 2020, the fall season has been slightly different than our normal fall crazy. We've stayed home for all for all of the UGA games, we are still wearing masks in stores and buildings other than our homes, school is still happening and we have fingers crossed that as we get further into flu season it will stay that way. I have been bad about taking a ton of pictures lately, but here are some of the last couple of months since Ellie's birthday. Both girls are playing volleyball, Mack played football, Ellie and Emma are still dancing and will perform in the Nutcracker next week, and we are just trying to keep things as normal as they possibly can be in these ABnormal times. Some of the pictures are out of order. I haven't figured out how to move the pictures that easily on this new blogger template.

Ellie and Leonard looking outside. Leonard, as you can imagine, has become insanely rotten.
|
 |
Mack's football team won out for the season! They did so good and were so fun to watch!
|
Emma finally got her turn to play volleyball. She picked up the sport quickly. Her team is not doing that great in the league, but Emma loves it.
 |
Ellie is attempting volleyball this season as well. Her team is doing awesome. They only have 1 loss so far. These 6th-8th grade girls are really fun to watch!
|
 |
Worth and his dad are competing as well. They played in the VCC member guest and won this year! It was a well deserved win and such a sweet moment to see father and son together in victory.

The kids wore different costumes for Halloween at school compared to their actual Halloween costumes so they could be more "comfortable." Mack was a UGA football player, Emma an 80's girl and Ellie, now in middle school, was not allowed to dress up for school but felt she needed to photo bomb her siblings.

 |
Mack's class dressed up as 1950s people one day. Mack was just excited he got to use hair gel.
|
Mack in his real halloween costume - Darth Vader.
 |
| Found this picture on my camera roll. Mack apparently had attempted a selfie at a volleyball game. |
 |
| These 2 crazies were so excited that Halloween happened in our neighborhood. Ellie had gone ahead of us to meet up with her friend who we were going to trick or treat with. |
 |
| Amos, Anna and Hardy joined us this year for Halloween since their neighborhood was not doing trick or treat because of COVID. The 4 of us were Dodgeball characters. |
 |
| The Bowers crew! |
 |
The Tift crew!
|
Emma was hysterical in the unicorn blow up just like Ellie last year. I was just glad she wanted to wear it. It saved me from buying yet another costume.
Hardy didn't have to worry about keeping up with the big kids while trick or treating. Ellie made sure he got to every house - even if she had to carry him.
 |
The Sunday that followed Halloween was Amos's birthday. We all headed to Tifton to celebrate at Grandma's house.
|
 |
Because Grandma had not seen Hardy on his birthday 2 weeks prior, she had a cake and candles for him to blow out as well.
|
 |
Homecoming week included a decades day. Mack and Emma were 50s kids, Elle was an 80s girl.
|
 |
First grade has had a fair amount of homework. This guy has worked hard and it doing so well!
|
 |
Because of Worth's work schedule, we had to head to the Christmas tree lot to snag a tree a couple of days before Thanksgiving. No worries, we didn't decorate until after Thanksgiving day, just got the tree up and ready! This is goofball Emma at the tree lot.
|
 |
Christmas Tree kids.
|
 |
Even though she's 12, she cannot resist being a goofball with her siblings.
|
 |
The winner for the year!
|
 |
Setting up for decorations!
|
 |
| We headed to Grandma and Papa's for Thanksgiving this year. Mia and E.W. came as well, so we had a big crew for lunch. I failed at getting pictures of all the food and drinks but they were all fabulous! |
 |
Hardy's definitely had some cousin time with the Bowers this fall.
|
 |
We learned that Ellie has pretty much caught Aunt Anna in height. (Anna was wearing heeled boots in this picture)
|
 |
The Tifts not in a Halloween costume. Hardy is not crying, he's yelling, "CHEESE!"

Chit chatting after dinner
|
 |
| Hardy playing with Mack and Ellie. |
 |
| Hardy walks little when the girls are around. Once again, he is not crying, just yelling "Cheese" again. |
 |
| I just wonder what these 2 were talking about. |
 |
Hardy wasn't digging being in the first picture with Grandma and Papa. i thought this one turned out so good though!
|
 |
The hosts for the day. Daddy recently had rotator cuff surgery on his R arm and is doing great with is rehab and recovery.
|
The Bowers side of the family. (part of us)
 |
We got home in time last night to begin some decorating! The tree has lights, so now it's official!
