Can the Bass kids dance?

Can the Bass kids dance? They try ! At school, the student council has put on four dances in the last few years. They hire some one to teach "The Swing" and other dances. All the kids seem to have fun . Stephen has left PCA but he returned and gave anyone who would listen a lesson. He did not stop the whole time.

Christmas Cards................

Why is it so hard to get a Christmas Card picture of four kids. First, they all need to be home. then it would be nice if they are not in T-shirts. So......... I thought Sunday after church would be a good time. Little did I know that Stephen didn't wash his hair but just ran water over it during his morning shower. The sad thing is that I didn't notice it until I got the pictures back.


Then the one with the tree......Caroline had a little trouble not getting emotional. The picture with the phone is when Dad called to see why we were not answering the phone in the house.
Then of course there is always a little play time. Needless to say, we don't have a picture for a Christmas card. We are looking into other options!

This and That

We made a trip to the local tree farm for a Christmas Tree. We had been trying to get there for over a week. Due to rain, we had postoned the trip. We hurried out of church, rushed through lunch and made our way with the Smith family.

When we arrived, there was a whole field missing. The field where we cut our tree last year was empty. There was a section roped off in yellow tape. It was not large and the trees were skinny. After asking around, we learned that the drought had caused this tree farm to lose several trees and they quit growing. We felt for the family who owned the tree farm but could not bring ourselves to pay for such a small tree. So we went to Lowes. Actually ther were only three left at Lowes!

Basketball Season

The time has come where basketball season has begun at the Bass house. Three Bass kids and one parent (mom) are involved. We have had a little bit of hold up. (as you can see in the picture) But we hope to be at full staff in a week. There seems to be a buckle fracture of the radius on Katie Ann's left arm. The good news is it is not Katie Ann's shooting arm. Not so good...she has to miss at least the first 3 games. But she is being a great water girl.

Dressing up!!!

My kids have never went " trick or treat" growing up. We have been to fall festivals and other events. But last year they became a part of a "large group" of dressing up kids in a neighborhood and I have been amazed. Since they have never done it before, they are very creative. Caroline was your standard Auburn Football player. Stephen is a pirate (he is in a red bandanna ), Katie Ann and her classmates dressed up as characters in the Peter Pan story. She is Tinkerbell. Jason came home from basketball practice and dressed up like a tired athlete. Please make note of the cute chicken outfit with the fire hat. Peter wanted to be a fire chicken. Very creative.

Corn Maze

I never went to corn mazes as a kid. I don't know if they didn't have them or what. But walking in the dark and seeing the dark sky with shadows of corn stalks can be a fun thing. This corn maze had lot of hay bales which were a hit. We took a hay ride and enjoyed the cold weather. Jason wasn't able to join us but we had a great time.

Fall Festival

The school where the girls go to school have a fall festival every year. It is very family friendly and they have games, country store, petting zoo, train etc. Here are a few pictures from the festival. Katie Ann entered two photgraphs in photo contest. two of her black and white photo's.are in the backgournd. They are the flower ones. They have a crazy hair booth and it is always a hit. Caroline wanted Auburn orange and blue
No we do not have another Bass child. This is one of our pastor's son, Tate, that I was watching while his older brothers and mom were enjoying the games.
