We had a soccer game on Saturday. M's poor team. It keeps raining on Tuesday so they barely practice. And the team is pretty small with only 10 kids. (6 play at a time.) And two kids honest to goodness flat out refuse to play combined with at least someone missing on game days... makes for a long game where most kids play the whole game. They get so tired! And we are not a super aggressive team to start with so, yeah. Good thing it's a learning experience!
Yesterday was a pancake breakfast after church and then there was a big group picnic. It was a dreary day but it felt very British. Boots and sweaters, a bonfire, good food made it so the kids had a bunch of fun. They got to dig potatoes out of the ground, see horses, go for a tractor ride... it was a blast and the kids slept so well!!
And now it's October!
I have no shame when I tell you I've been listening to Christmas music a lot lately. It's so fun! And I am not in full blown skip over the other holidays, it's just that Christmas music makes me feel cheerful. But we will switch to our Halloween playlist here I am sure.
And I have no pictures to share... so...
here are some pumpkins. Because it's October.
Oh...the soccer games!
ReplyDeleteI remember those!
And yes. When they play the entire game, they are exhausted!!!!!
You crank up that Christmas music, sweet friend.
I am a closet Christmas music fan myself.
But first...OCTOBER! HALLOWEEN! PUMPKINS! YAAAAAY!!!!
(Imagine Elmo screaming and waving his hands.)
I love, love, LOVE October!!! Little M is on a soccer team, what? Wow, I can picture that being really sweet and cute (but cold...maybe?) Both girls do taekwondo, but it is always indoors, so there's that. ;) We have yet to stray into outdoor sports activities. I hope you have a great rest of the month! Yeah for October!
ReplyDeleteBonfires, boots,and sweaters??? I might feel a little more inclined to bring out my fall decorations if we had that going on down here. It's in the 80s this week so I'm just enjoying the sunshine for now. And I saw Christmas trees at Walmart yesterday and almost freaked out a little. It's still summer in my mind (I'm still wearing sandals after all) and they are rolling out the trees?! I'm not ready!!!!!!!!!! But I say, if Christmas music makes you happy - then crank it up!!!
