One more note about school soccer...Yesterday, the boys won their first game in 7 years!!! It was a close game (7-6) and it was so fun to watch! B & J got assists and the littlest player on the team scored a goal. We didn't think it would happen this year, but it did!
K's theme this year was Ladybugs! She got to pick the theme, kind of cake and what we had for dinner.
The cake was confetti with vanilla frosting.
The Keith cousins-we couldn't get a good shot of J!
The only thing K asked for was a stuffed giraffe--that was after we told her should couldn't have a real horse or a real dog!
Our Ladybug!

Good Morning! We had Fall Festival at school yesterday. The children are dismissed at 11:30 for a cookout and fun time on the soccer field. There are game booths set up, face painting (my job!) and cotton candy. Mrs. L even dressed up as a clown! Most of the students agree that it is their favorite day of the year. It was an OK day, not the most beautiful one we've had, but the sun was not scorching hot and it was not raining and as long as the breeze was blowing, the bugs were not biting. Enjoy the pictures!!

Good Morning,
Just a few details on the school soccer team. Our team has one senior and one sophmore and the rest are between 4th and 8th grade. You can see the hight difference between B and the other team in the last picture. That is very typical! The boy next to J is 4th grade and comes to most of the guys' waists. Most of our games have ended with a 7 or 8 -1 or 0 loss. It is very sad. But we keep telling them that in a couple more years....It seems like we've been saying that for a long time! They keep playing hard and doing their best, so that is all we ask of them. B came very close to scoring yesterday, but just couldn't get his foot on it solidly enough. B & J are learning a lot with the town team that has helped them with the school. B's confidence has gone way up this year so that has been nice to see.
