Music, stitches and other fun stuff

Jackson had his first band concert last week. These kids all just started playing this year and put on a good show.

Sean's class had a harvest festival on a perfect Fall day. There was a bonfire, songs about the changing seasons, and most importantly, the annual rolling of the giant oatcake to determine the severity of the upcoming winter. One side of the oatcake has an "o" and the other side has an "x". The kids line up along sidewalk that has a gentle downward slope and the principal rolls the oatcake. At the end, it wobbled a bit then landed on the "o" side which means a mild winter. We shall see!

Here is Sean getting stitches at the kitchen table. Just a normal Friday night at The Davitt's! He cut himself while making a bow at archery camp and the cut was just big enough to warrant a visit to the Davitt ER. Fortunately Jim was home and had just enough time to put in a few stitches before heading off to his gig as volunteer doctor for the high school football team. It was a busy night for the Davitt medical team.   

 Fall running on trails is always more fun with Auntie Sue Bee along.

 And running followed by pie is a good way to spend an afternoon!

 Soccer season wrapped up last weekend and I can tell you that the weather during the last game did not look at all like  what you see in this photo. But this is a great picture one of my friends just emailed me so it needed to be posted on the blog.

Finally, here is an origami creation by our in house origami master, Sean. Please keep in mind that this creation is one of about 100 origami pieces in various places throughout the house right now.  I do think this is one of the more impressive works by Sean and he was kind enough to take a photo of it for me to share on the blog.
