I took my kids to the pumpkin patch.....

....and all I got was this lousy picture. I always look forward to our annual picture of the kids posed amongst the pumpkins. Not so much this year.

Lesson learned= take the picture when we first get there, not at the end when the kids are seriously wound up.

Soccer





Jack started his first team sport this fall-- AYSO soccer. He's really enjoying himself, I think he might win the prize for "most enthusiastic". He spends most of his time skipping across the field and pumping his arms up in the air. He's definitely learning a lot about soccer, and we're getting a lesson in how much you can expect a bunch of five year olds to focus on a soccer field-- which ends up isn't very much at all.
