Halloween

Lots of fun!!  We went trick-or-treating with friends on a trailer with hay that they decorated.  No walking and the kids had a blast!

Check out these turkeys...

Mackenzie's first soccer game

Mackenzie was not too sure about playing soccer, but she did great on Saturday.  There are 6 kids on her team, 3 boys and 3 girls.  I don't think any of them have ever played before but they did great at their first game.  They really got it and scored a lot of goals.  Mackenzie scored the first goal and a couple more later.

First Day of School

Today was the first day of kindergarten for Mackenzie and second grade for Katie.  The drop off for Mackenzie was a little hairy.  She didn't want me to leave.  Her class was pretty crazy and lots of parents were hanging around.  But Mrs. Brown is a pro and I got out of there unscathed. 

Katie was very excited while we walked up to the second floor to her new classroom.  Her classmates were very calm, already sitting at their desks doing work.  Katie's desk is across from her friend Kendall's, so all was right in the world.

They went to extended care after school and I picked them up this afternoon.  When I asked Mackenzie what she did at school, she said "I don't know."  I finally got a few details out of her and Katie.  They both had great first days. 

New backpacks from Kay-Kay!

Mackenzie's 5th

We had a pajama party for Mackenzie on Saturday morning.  Lots of her friends came and they had a great time decorating socks and eating lots of sugar!

All-Stars Softball

After 10 weeks and 48 games (no, that's not a typo), All-Stars is over.  The girls played their little hearts out in the 100 degree weather last week at Nationals in Round Rock.  They played 3 "pool" games and 2 tournament games.  And while they lost their tournament games, they lost both games by only one run.  BUT, they beat their arch-rivals for the first time all year at one of the pool games. 

The girls started off Tuesday with a limo ride to opening ceremonies at The Dell Diamond.  Wednesday was rained out so they played all three of their pool games on Thursday.  Friday, they had the two tournament games.  And Saturday, Katie joined some of her teammates to play a softball game against a Special Olympics team.  The girls did awesome to help the players out.  I was really proud of Katie and the other girls for their participation in this!

I thought this photo was precious.
