October was Awesome! Soccer was great. We went camping for the first time this year. The weather was gorgeous. Molly turned 4 and had a fabulous Jessie party. It rocked.
Maggie is really getting the hang of playing forward. I'm not sure what happened but a switch flipped in her one game and this soccer animal came out. She is tenacious, fighting for the ball until she gets it. She is using her speed, blazing past defenders and forcing opponents to switch thier lineups and double team her (her father's proudest moment). She has amazing endurance and is very talkative during the game. She's shooting more than she's shot in the last two seasons. It is a blast to watch! Her team also took in a Sounders game this month and just she and I went. It was our first trip, but it most definitely won't be our last! Gary's girls have had an up and down season but they pulled out a come from behind victory over district rivals. That win earned them ribs a la Gary and bragging rights. What could be better?
We headed to Mayfield Lake for our first camping trip of the season. I know, it's a little late but better late than never! We had the best site in the park, right on the water and were surrounded by good friends. It rained on us some but the last day the clouds parted and we had the best day of the whole weekend. We ate smores made with carmel vanilla marshmallows (Oh. My. Gosh.), fished and hiked along the water. We are all ready to go back!
Molly turned 4 this month and she was counting down the days all the way to her birthday. She had a Jessie (Toy Story 3) party with all her friends and claims that now that she is 4, she is grown up. Well, not quite but you can keep thinking that.
She was also Jessie for Halloween so you can probably guess...she really likes Jessie. Her sister couldn't resist the opportunity to wear a dozen peace signs and chose to be a hippie! It was a busy but fun month!
