Some Fall Fun
Hard to believe Fall is coming to an end in a couple weeks. We were crazy busy with all 3 boys playing soccer this year. So we missed out on some of the Fall Bucket list items I was hoping to do, but I was very happy that we at least got to squeeze in some apple picking!
The boys really enjoyed their soccer games. Shaun was more into it this year and while he still tends to goof off, he was definitely more focused! His favorite part was playing in the mock World Cup. I think his team was Germany.
This year, Evan was old enough to play and he was so excited to be part of a team. He was extremely focused and always giving me the thumbs up! He keeps asking when he gets to play again.
He also had the opportunity to play in a Fall Baseball clinic. It was really great for him to get the opportunity to work on his baseball skills with small groups and then play scrimmages.
And no fall is complete until you've gone apple picking. We may have missed out on the Fair this year, but I needed to make sure we got to the orchard! We headed to one of my favorite places, Applecrest and we even ran into our friends! It was a perfect fall day!
And of course another fun fall bucket list item, playing in the big pile of leaves!

David's soccer this year was a little more intense! He had more games and they were against other school teams. He had great coaching and learned a lot about soccer he never really knew before. His team was mostly made up of 4th graders but he held his own and improved so much from the first practice until the last game. His team went undefeated on the regular season and they won the Jamboree championship game!

These guys have been really good sports about having to hang out at the school all day long so the Mom's could do some projects! Also, technology rules!

It is Race Day!! We had another gorgeous day this year and the boys got their high fives from Daddy as he was about to cross the 13th mile (since we cannot wait at the actual finish line here). I was able to have the results sent via text again this year so we know his official times. We'll find out later what he placed overall. He is usually in the top 100. While he didn't race his fastest time ever (from his covered Bridges race back in June), he did finish this race faster than last year by almost a minute!

Here is the Milling Around, along with all 4 schools that competed tonight signing Ingrid Michaelson's, Girls Chase Boys.

It took a lot of bribing and even then it took a lot of angry looks from Mom...but I got the one picture I wanted during our apple picking adventure on Sunday!

Evan and Momma selfie - Workout style! Today Evan and I did the 2 mile loop around the neighborhood. We jogged and walked but I was really proud of Evan for making it so far, even though he wasn't a big fan. Next time he said he'll just take his bike!

Sometimes we make sad choices. Sometimes we have to suffer the consequences. Sometimes it is hard being a six year old.

Whenever David really likes a dish I have made, he'll tell me, "Mom this is awesome, you have to teach me how to make this". Yesterday he had the chance to learn how to make my meatballs, one if his favorites!. He even had the chance to use the "big knife" for the first time, with a little help from Mom, but I was very impressed by how careful and focused he was. I make a huge batch at a time and freeze them in bags of 12. We had some tonight and froze the rest. They were delicious!

Homework time! I love how his teacher has set up the homework for the year. He gets a folder on Monday with the weeks homework and then he has to return Friday! While we still try to have him do one page per night, it is nice to have some flexibility, especially on busy nights!
