Halloween

"When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam, may luck be yours on Halloween."

The girls came halloweening tonight dressed as a crab and a mermaid. The boys only came along for the treats. 

Bats Are Cute?!!

"Caution! Low flying bats."

Cali wore her bat sweatshirt to the soccer game.  She was showing us how she flies!

Isn't she the cutest bat you've ever seen?

By the way, I love getting comments. 

Playground Fun

"Loving is never a waste of time."

One of their favorite things to do is go to the playground.  This was the last time we went to the playground before they moved.  Oh March, please hurry and come so I can fly to see my babies!!

Win 100

"The key is not the "will to win" - everybody has that.  It is the will to prepare to win that is important."

Last Saturday, Christopher got his 100th win as a soccer coach at our high school.  It was very special for him since this is also his alma mater.  Two years ago, he attained his 100th win that included his first coaching job at another school.  He said this one meant much more.  Coaching is not an easy job, you need to have a "love" for it.  He has always had that kind of passion for the game of soccer, which I am so thankful for!  The boys, Cole and Carter, go to all of the practices with him and are the game managers.  When the 3 of them walk to practice together, they always say a prayer as they enter the stadium,  asking for safety and wisdom.  He wants the team to be well respected on and off and field.  I do know that they have a great respect for him.  Proud of you son.

See Ya Later

"Sisterhood is powerful."

We walk Chloe to Kindergarden every day.  They live right beside the school, so it just means walking through the parking lot.  Some days, Cali doesn't want to go because she is watching "Little Bear."  We always hurry to get Sissy to school so she can return to the show.  Most days, we feed their rabbit 'Peanutbutter' on the way back.  If it's raining I'll try to get out of it, but she always says "I have to MamMam!"  There is no changing her mind.  After that, we stop to talk to their dog 'Rooney' and usually bring him inside for his "NAP" also.  Cali tells me every day that it's not 'nappy' time,  but she doesn't have any trouble falling asleep.

Most times she is still sleeping when they get home around 4:00, but if  awake she starts yelling "SISSY"!  Then the battles begin all over again!

Fallfest

"Winter is an etching, spring a water color, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all."

Last weekend we were on "Camryn" duty, so we took her to a nearby Fallfest.  She loved it!  It was a beautiful day, warm with such bright sunshine.  We went to the pumpkin patch and let her pick the one she wanted.  They had wagons there to haul the pumpkins, so of course Camryn wanted in with the pumpkin.  She loved the animals.  I think her favorite was the white bunny.  ALL  of us were tired when we got home!

Puppy Kisses

"There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face."

Last week one day, this is what I saw on my way to the car.   Carter and Rooney.
