Snow Day

main_snow_day_2009

The kids have been off for 2 snow days this week.

They are literally climbing the walls , so today we braved the cold to do some sledding.

I was there…I know there is no evidence ;) I am always behind the camera instead of in front of it.

I did sled down with the kids, no one caught it on film but I did it.

I used to be a pro. My dad would take us a few times a year.

I must be getting old though cause I don’t remember it being so fast!

Thank goodness we had the foresight in the spring a couple of years ago to by 3 big tubes when they were only $4 on clearance!

The kids shrieked with joy as my hubby dug them out like a forgotten buried treasure . All we had to do was blow them up and strap them to the top of the car.

SO FUN!

Hello October

My hubby took the kids to the gym with him Saturday morning and that left me time to explore the changing leaves.

I swear I almost blinded myself looking through a glass lens pointed at the sun, but I liked the result so much it was worth it!

Hello October!

Little Ghouls

wax_lips_2009

Every year my neighborhood starts Booing each-other.  It is like a Halloween version of secret Santa.

Neighbors make up little gift baskets/buckets of Halloween treats and leave them on each-others doorsteps.

You  leave a little Boo sign for them to post on their door so that others know they have been Booed.  And another note asking them to do it for two other neighbors in the next couple of days.

It is fun to see all the signs on your neighbors doors as you go trick or treating on Halloween. It also spreads good will as you are not sure which neighbor went out and did something for you.

My kids squealed with delight as they found our Boo basket this week.

It was full of goodies, but my favorites had to be the wax lips!  They were too funny.

I think my little ghouls looked great!

Soccer Stud

Children's Sports Photography of My son's Soccer Season

My little soccer stud has been a bit….spacey?….this season.

Watching other teams and girls pass by instead of getting after the ball at the game.

But this Tuesday night he had an awesome practice and was back to his ball attacking self.

He also seemed to really have a good time with the boys and reassured me that he was really into the soccer thing.

I just want him to be involved in something and have fun doing it.  I like soccer.   I like that he plays with a team and that there is a lot of running involved.

Boys need activity, especially him!
