The Mites finished their season undefeated.  They made it to the playoffs and won their playoff game.  The boys were very excited!  They had a great year and great coaching.

Halloween!

We had a nice halloween this year.  It was on a weekend and the weather was nice and warm.  Luke was an army man (again - 3rd year!), Paige was a 50's girl and Ali was an Ohio State cheerleader. 

Luke's tradition of making his pumpkin throwing up.  Trick R Treaters always love this one.

Paige teaching Ali the art of scooping.  They opted for a traditional Jack O Lantern -

Our 50's girl had to have pink hair too, but it got itchy and didn't last long -

Our sweet little cheerleader.  This might be the closest I get to one of the kids becoming a Buckeye -

 Who's that with the black hair?

Of course we had to sort and trade candy when we got home -

Ali went to a Halloween party the Friday before. She got a few little treats, made a craft and had some time to play -

Ali Girl

Happy 40th Jay!

We celebrated Jay's 40th birthday just how he requested, at home w/friends and family.Lots of pictures to prove it.

We also celebrated with daddy on his actual birthday with some cupcakes!

Ali'isms

1) When one of the kids is upset and crying, Ali starts to sing the ABC song.  Paige noticed this first and she is right.  She maybe does to it diffuse the situation because that is her favorite song to sing.

2) When Ali comes across a toy that doesn't work or is something that she thinks should light up or play a tune, she hands it to me and yells "BATTERIES", which comes out like "BAAAEEEEE"

3) Ali has her favorite books to read.  One book has a little poem on the last page and a picture of a little kid on the opposite page.  Apparently the illustrator didn't do a great job because Ali always points to the boy and yells "MONKEY!!"  Now when I say the poem for her without the book, she still yells "MONKEY!" 

Paige's teacher sent this to me. It is Paige reading in French...
