I don't have a photo (yet) but Sawyer went off to school today
dressed as the Ken doll - khaki pants, loafer shoes, pink polo shirt,
gray sweater draped over his shoulders, hair parted and slicked off to
the side. One of his female friends was going to bring in a Barbie doll
for him to carry around. Should make for a fun day!
The seniors have also been voting on superlatives for the yearbook, and Sawyer earned the
"Best Nickname" - he has several that are a play on his first name:
Saw, SawSaw, Sawsause, etc. Some of his friends even yell "saw, saw,
saw" at sporting events while making a sawing motion when they're
cheering him on.
Our visit to SUNY New Paltz last weekend was nice. Beautiful weather and the Hudson Valley still has lots of leaves on the trees, unlike the Alfred area and its bare trees. Sawyer was able to get a little more information about his major and take a tour of the chemistry labs. His application for early decision there is almost complete, just waiting for that darn college essay to be written. Deadline for submission is Nov. 15th with an answer by Jan. 1st.
Wrestling practice starts on Monday so soon we'll be heading into the schedule of evening wrestling meets. Not my favorite sport to watch but I certainly enjoy cheering everyone on.
Enjoy your day of haunts, skeletons, and trick-or-treats! I've already had my hand in the candy bucket at work this morning!
