Trunk or Treat







Donuts, cider, and candy.  Chet loves suckers!

Field Trip



I was able to go with Blake on a field trip to Martin's grocery store.  The kids got to sample food and we got to see behind the scenes of a store.  Blake especially loved watching a fork lift in action.  If I wasn't standing near him, Blake would motion for me to come close to him. (I am constantly joking/telling Blake about what a cool mom he has.  He already seems hesitant with me around his friends.  But maybe it is paying off.)  I loved hanging out with my Blake.

Apples





My parents came to visit for 10 days.  Here we are picking apples with wacko man.

Blake and Soccer





Blake had a great soccer season.  He loved playing each game.  Blake was always concerned about the score and would come off the field for break and always tell me who scored and how many.  He score a bunch of goals himself.  

His coach paid Blake a nice compliment.  She said "number 5 is the most polite and kind boy she has ever met."

It was a complete thrill for me to watch him play each game.  I think I enjoyed it so much because he loved it as much as I loved playing when I was young.  He is a smart soccer player and is great at passing the ball to open teammates.  He became more confident and aggressive as the season went on.

Janie Playing Soccer




After she scored a goal!


Janie had fun playing soccer this season.  She especially loved playing goalie, taking a turn sitting out of the game, and getting a snack afterwards.  She would run around chasing the ball with her arms in the air and a smile on her face.  Love my happy girl.
