A Little Soccer Star In The Making!

Nick had his first soccer practice today. He did great! He listened very well, was very engaged, did well at the drills like little kicks/dribbling, medium kicks, big kicks, ball taps and passing. When it was time to stand next to our cone and listen for the next instruction, he ran to the cone, placed the ball on the line next to the cone and stood behind the ball. Here's to hoping next week is as successful!

Pumpkin Painting

Another year of pumpkin painting! The boys had lots of fun painting their little pumpkins. They kind of lost interest before they got to their big pumpkins. 

Cold Weather Doesn't Stop Him!

Cold weather doesn't stop Nick from playing in the sandbox. Monday night, after work/daycare, he went directly outside and did not come in until 7:15, after it had been dark for 45 minutes! But he was just playing away in the sand box, happy as could be!

Cookie Time!

We signed up for Ben to bring in cookies for his school Halloween party this week. I made the dough and Ben was in charge of cutting out the cookies. He had a lot of fun deciding which shapes to use and using the cookie cutters. Nick just kind of observed and gave Ben helpful encouragement. 

Girls Night Photo Walk

While the boys were camping, I went up to Ann Arbor for a girls night and a photo walk. Michelle and I headed just down the street from her house to a few parks on the Huron River. It was half raining, half sunny while I was driving, but once we got to the park, the clouds started to part and the sun came out. It was perfect timing! 

Here Fishy, Fishy

The boys caught a few fish while on their camping trip. Nick is still talking about the big fishy they caught.

Fall Camping Trip

Last Friday, after fun at the zoo, Adam and the boys headed out for a weekend camping trip with Uncle Kevin, Dziadziu and Tom in Pennsylvania. The boys had fun camping, riding their bikes, hanging out by the camp fire, playing in the woods and fishing!

More Little Boo

These were on my phone. After the zoo we got lunch at BW3s, Ben's favorite restaurant.
