Earthquake Soccer 2011

Saturday was the Earthquakes last game of the regular season. Miles has had a wonderful season.  He has grown so much, I think he is actually getting it. He played goalie at least one quarter every game. Not his favorite position, he doesn't get the opportunity to score when he's stuck in goal. As for scoring those goals, Miles had his first goal every this season. He was so proud of himself (mama was very proud too).  We had our end of the season pizza party on Saturday as well. I love the way his coaches hand out medals. They call each player up and say something nice about the player, the growth they have made, how hard they play,etc. Coach said Miles found his left foot this year and was happy with how much Miles has grown as a player. Not sure if Miles will play again next year, but we had a fun season this year.

Yup, right through his legs!

PJ Party

At Maisy's preschool, instead of wearing costumes on Halloween, they wear their PJ's. Maisy loved it! They sang a couple of Halloween songs and then feasted on lots of goodies. Before I took Maisy to school today she asked if she could have another pajama party, I told her to ask her teacher. When Maisy came home she said "the teachers said Halloween is all done." Guess she asked about the party, too funny.

"Stirring and stirring and stirring the brew"

"Whhhhhooooooo"

"God is great, God is good and we thank him for our food"
I think Maisy was REALLY hungry.

Halloween 2011

Since we carved pumpkins the other day, Halloween preparation went very smoothly. I did Miles' make-up, with no stress, we ate dinner and had time to spare to take some pictures without rushing. In the past, Maisy has not been into the whole trick-or-treating thing. Not this year, she LOVED every minute of it. She would yell at Miles "I want to ring the bell." So the kids took turns ringing bells. Also, she would say that light is on we can go there or no light we can't go there. She totally got the concept. She walked almost all night, but we knew we were done when she handed me here bag and asked daddy to carry her. Miles got so many compliments on his costume. Even teenagers would walk by him and say cool costume man. Miles was very excited and loved all the attention. Since he had such a positive experience with coordinating costumes this year, maybe he'll let me do it again next year... A mother can dream right?
We all had a wonderful Halloween!
