A few more Fall traditions...and the LAST soccer game (Sort of!)

We managed to pack a lot in to the last weekend in October! It was a CHILLY weekend too!

Saturday morning at the soccer field was COLD! The wind was brutal! The soccer players didn't seem to mind it so much running around, but we were pretty cold on the side lines! Poor little Lucy's hands were like ice! The team played great and everyone had a good time. We had an "End of the Season" party after the game (however, we found out that they added a game or two so we might actually have another "last" game!) Jack was very excited about the soccer party AND the trophy! We made a big deal about him getting his first trophy! We are so proud of Jack this year during soccer! He has had so much fun and kept a smile on his face through every practice and game! He has really enjoyed it! He does really well in practice and great at all of his drills... but he is NOT the most aggressive player during games! He is not going to go in the pack and go after the ball! However, he thinks he's the best player ever and runs off the field with a huge grin each time! It's been so much fun for us!

GO Chiefs!

Big kick!

He is behind the goal...Hmmmm..but looks determined!

Get us started!

Getting some good advice from Coach!

Congratulations Chiefs!

SO proud!

We headed to another party that afternoon! Jack and Lucy got to wear their costumes and looked super cute! There was another pirate at the birthday party and Jack got VERY into being pirates! They ran off and would yell, "Back to Pirate Island" and "Yo Ho!" It was pretty funny! We came home and worked on our pumpkins! Jack wanted to paint his and asked us about 100 times, "Mommy! Daddy! Look! Isn't it beautiful?!"

All ready to help with the pumpkins!

Ewwwwww! Jack wasn't wild about cleaning out the pumpkins!

SUCH a big boy!

Brotherly love?

Helping Daddy!

Cute babies!

Happy boys!

Jack really painting the pumpkin!

Moved it inside because it got too COLD!

We had a good family Sunday! We went to church and then headed to get Lucy her first pair of shoes! She was cute and let them measure her little size 3 foot! Then we went to Northside to see sweet baby Lauren for the first time! She is so very tiny and we are so happy for the Coopers! She is just perfect! We can't wait to start making memories with her!

I love you Caroline!

After nap time, we went on an adventure walk around the neighborhood to find pretty fall leaves (We strung them up and hung them in Jack's room for decoration!) He was very into it found lots of great ones! We squeezed in some time to make rice krispy treat pumpkins and ghosts! Jack was a big helper...and really enjoyed tasting our treats! We also made our first pot of kale soup (don't judge until you try it! It is fantastic! Sausage, kale, potatoes, tomatoes, chick peas... very yummy!) and it was tasty!

Helping with the rice krispy treats!

I like helping out...and tasting as we go!

OH! I think I just ate one of the pumpkin eyes!

Finding the best leaves!

Spooky! We stopped at a neighbor's that had LOTS of decorations!

All my leaves are in my bag!

What about this one?!

IT was a GREAT fall weekend... Tomorrow is Halloween (I might take a few pictures!) and then we start cruising into November! November is birthday month in this family! Caitlin, Jake, Lucy, Jennifer, Steven....and more!
