We had a very Fall weekend this past Saturday & Sunday. We started out with some fairly chilly soccer games on Saturday morning, followed by Jack's end of season soccer party at the neighborhood McDonald's Play Place (one of my least favorite places). The kids got to have cake and received trophies - which I find hilarious because they lost every game by a huge deficit and Jack rarely participated. But go team! Wonder how many trophies we will accumulate throughout his lifetime?
Saturday night the kids were invited to their first Halloween costume party at their friends' Colin & Aiden's house. So they got to give their costumes a trial run, eat pizza & cookies with their friends & decorate pumpkins!

Kate with her buddy Flannery and her younger sister Penny - also cheerleaders of course.
All the kids decorating their pumpkins. Kate put by far the most time and effort into hers. She definitely takes after me.

On Sunday we were blessed with sunshine so we took a trip to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins for carving. I was able to get one more use out of their pumpkin hats. One of these years they are bound to either not fit or there will be protests at the request to wear them.
Next weekend my mom comes in to town. So, fingers crossed for good weather and more fun Fall activities!
