powers farm market

Every fall the boys ask to go to Powers Farm Market.  They run around trying to figure out which pumpkin is the one to take home.  You know something like . . .I found it, oh wait maybe (cross to the complete other side of the area of pumpkins) maybe this one . . . and so on and so on.  Then the choice of which donut - pumpkin, glazed and so many more choices.  Can we eat them now?

But the most talked about is the Powers Farm Market tractor ride through Witch Hollow.  They narrate the entire ride and tell you what is going to happen before you get there and exclaim at almost every point 'this is my favorite'.  And finally, walking through the humongous teepee adorned in jack-o-lanterns.  Simple, delightful . . a wonderful fall tradition.

6th grade retreat

Ambrose along with 17 other classmates went on a 6th grade retreat.  All of the kids were so engaged, extremely helpful, and really allowed for the spirit of the retreat to be a real part of their two days together.  The theme was one of "Service" - serving others, our community, and ourselves.  Ambrose shared with us at dinner all of his 'highlights' while referencing a small paper where he wrote items down throughout the retreat.  He told us he didn't want to forget anything that was really good, so he made the list (my little engineer, cute).

marathon

Marathon 2017 - black team (6th grade) for Ambrose and yellow team (4th grade) for Blaise.  Ambrose now has gone through all of the colors as this is his last year at Seton (sniff sniff).  He as a 6th grader gets to add pink accessories (his request was the tutu) and duck tape.  Ambrose also got to run instead of walking with his class; another 6th grade privilege.  He ran 8 times around (approximately 8 miles).  Blaise did 4 laps with his class.  One of their favorite days of the school year - great fundraiser and community builder.
