That white shirt is Steven :) in September he started playing on a men's indoor league with my brother and some friends. I love watching sports when I know the people who are playing, so it's even better when I get to watch Steven :)

This photo is blurry but it was when Steven made a goal so I have to post it :)

He gets better with every game and it's so fun to watch. 

There he is on the right :) half the team had never played before so it was definitely a season of learning. 

They start a new round of games this Tuesday (the league plays every Tuesday for about 8 weeks, then they can choose to keep playing another 8 weeks or not).

I'm very ok with being a soccer wife :) 

October Happenings, so far

It's weird that October is so close to being over. It barely feels like Halloween. I feel like we've squeezed in a lot of good things and made the most of what's left of our child-free time together (before things get crazy, and awesome:).

      Corn maze with the youth

            Schmidts ghosty cookies!

I enjoyed a morning at Wheeler Farm with Katie, Packer and their friends during Pumpkin Days.

He started out happy, but ended not so happy...

Big Budah was there doing a story and Packer got to play with the bubbles he had.

 

I got restless one day and went for a nice walk by myself to the duck pond. No ducks, but there were geese by the river again. 

We finally got a new shower curtain! Nothing special, but our old one was in pretty bad shape. 

Went for pedicures with my mom and Katie. Thanks mummy :)

Took Cicily to her first RSL game, courtesy of Len and ReNae. RSL won and will now be in the playoffs :)

Adorable Hadley turned 10 on the 10th

Our old vacuum broke and it took a while to get a new one. The container isn't as big as it looks, but still gross!

Steven and I walked around Gardner Village. I love that place in the fall. 

My sweet young women threw me a baby shower. They played a game where they had to blow up a balloon to the size of my stomach. They all overestimated and then we had a bunch of pregnant young women! :/  :)

Our first washer and dryer!! We're finally growing up ish, after 5 years :) 

We took a walk around silver lake, we missed most of the colorful leaves, but there were still a few and it was still a great walk.

Young women in excellence night! It's to celebrate personal progress so I was mostly in charge of it. We went with a bee theme that goes with the mutual theme. Everyone did so great and I think it turned out well, I'm so glad it's over! :)

There is so much more fun stuff that I don't have pictures of, like the old black and white horror movies we've been watching, Steven reading me scary stories, the cute haunted woods we went to, Cloie getting 100% on her Spanish test that she was so proud of, preparing all of our baby clutter, Sunday dinners, etc. Plus there is still a week of October to cram more things in :)
