Can you believe it?? I'm actually updating my blog again!!! I really don't have much to say, but I feel a great sense of accomplishment making another post! Let's see. Soccer is now over for the season and we had an awesome time with both teams today. We had E's team over for dinner and they are such a wonderful group!!!

To catch you up on the last few weeks: K's middle school band and E's 5th grade choir both got to perform at one of the high school football games. They both had so much fun!! S started karate last week and absolutely loves it!! The practicing on siblings and parents? Not so much.

D and I got each other a new camera for Christmas -- yes, we are already playing with it. It is so very cool!!!!! He and I went to the Aggie game yesterday and watched a great but disappointing performance. Of course, they always lose the games they should win! D had a great birthday last week and we are all loving his new smoker!! The Christmas shopping is almost done and Thanksgiving is almost here -- can't wait!!!!

Fall Soccer

E and S are both loving soccer and having amazing seasons!! E's team is undefeated and they finally 'get' the game. It is so much fun to watch them work the field in their different positions. Most of the team has been together for eight seasons! They have the best coach in the world!

S has a great coach this year as well, and is developing some great soccer skills It's so much fun to watch the little guys play! It's one massive group clustering around the ball, which shoots out every once in a while, so the whole group can chase it down! This is the first year we have had two weekends in October get canceled due to snow. Crazy! Our last weekend of games is coming up this weekend and I will miss them until they start up again in March!

Working on it....

Ok, so I haven't been very good at the weekly blog updates. I'm working on it! I promise! The kids have enjoyed all the October snow we have had and they had a wonderful Halloween. We got a big group together and all went trick-or-treating. I am quite proud of K for making her own costume this year!! I have at least one little seamstress in the making! Even Sophie got to dress up. After we got back, the kids all sat on the floor and spent an hour trading candy. S didn't really get it so he got conned out of most of his good candy. It doesn't really matter since I always dump it in a big bowl anyway! The biggest bummer of the weekend was E's soccer tournament getting canceled due to snow. Oh well!! There will be plenty more soccer!
