Fall Fun

We've been keeping busy around here with our normal school routines.  The kids are also involved in soccer, girl scouts, boy scouts and now basketball is beginning.  There doesn't seem to be a lot of downtime, but we are enjoying it and still finding time to spend together.  Maybe I'm just making excuses as to why my blog hasn't been updated in a while.:)

 This kid's smiles crack me up.  He was excited, it just doesn't look like it.:)


 Reagan, Drew & Lauren all did soccer through a local program.  They had a practice and a game every Saturday for 6 weeks.  I think this is the only Saturday we didn't have to bundle up! They all loved it though and I think they will play agan next fall.


 I never posted pictures of our kitchen after it flooded.  We still need to change out the old light fixture and hopefully install backsplash, but otherwise, it's pretty much complete.  We are still liking the change.
 Luke is playing on a basketball team with other 4th graders from his school.  Their first two games didn't go outstanding, but he had fun and he's definitely learning the game.  That's what we were hoping for!

 Here are a couple of other views.  I'm not sure why these pictures got separated.  We ended up buying a table off Craigslist, because our other one was very tired and needed to be replaced and who wants a spiffed up kitchen with an old, ugly table in it.:)
Both the girls decided to be Minnie Mouse this year.  I'm just now noticing Lauren's skirt in this picture.  I taped the dots on, because these are skirts they actually wear.  By the time she got back home, she didn't even have any dots left on the front of there.  I think her pumpkin kept knocking them off.


 Two Minnies, Buzz Lightyear, and a Star Wars guy (I can never tell them apart!)
 The kids had picked out pumpkins at the pumpkin patch and we finally had time to carve them on Sunday.  The kids always draw their faces and Ryan always does a great job of cutting them out. I stick with scooping the guts out.  It's less dangerous.:)
