The Worm and The Pear: Pictures

As I mentioned before, I took lots of pictures in September with great intentions of blogging, but never got around to it. I'll try to group some together here.

Soccer

Taylor has really enjoyed playing soccer this year. Her team, the Yellow Jackets, are currently in second place and have a 2-2-2 record. Their only two losses are to her coach from last year. His daughter is crazy good for a seven year old! Taylor will be playing with them again in the spring. She plays SAY soccer right now, so coaches can't choose players, but the new team/league allows it.

I love how much she enjoys playing soccer. She plays every day, whether it be at practice, a game or in the back yard. She can't get enough!

She scored a goal in this game, but all I got were some warm-up photos! I'm a little lacking in photography skills.

Another important aspect of soccer. Snack! Taylor wanted me to make tie-dyed cupcakes with neon yellow icing (like their uniforms) when it was our turn.

Bike Trail

I feel so fortunate to have a cool bike/nature trail less than a mile from our house. The kids and I really enjoy hanging out there, looking for deer, collecting Buckeyes, throwing rocks into the creek, finding cool leaves and bugs, etc.

Puppet Shows

Mike scored an old book shelf from school a few years ago and it makes the perfect puppet theater. Taylor designed a set the other day and we all took turns putting on a show.

Other Stuff

These Imaginext guys and sports are Michael's favorite things right now. He also loves to do preschool worksheets and calls them his homework. We didn't do preschool this year, but he's doing great for his age. Knows almost all his letters (big and small), some sounds, shapes, colors, patterns, numbers, etc!
