PARADES and SOCCER GAMES









Well, it's almost fall. The high today was (I think) below 80 degrees!!! That's downright pleasant for Georgia (we almost needed jackets for about 5 minutes!)




We started the weekend with the annual East Cobber Parade. Julia's brownie troop marched in it. Allison is in a newly forming troop and Amanda also just got into a Junior girl scout troop. They are all excited to be getting involved in this. SO, this means that they will all be calling you to buy girls scout cookies. Or, this is what we'll be sending everyone for every gift in the coming year. Amanda was able to hold the sign for the troop, so she was in the parade too.


Allison and the Skyrockets played to a win again. Allison didn't score this game, but she did have a role in setting up a few and (as always) was all over the field stealing the ball from the other team. You know she's having fun by the big smile on her face!!!



Julia's Pink Panther's had only 4 kids show up to play. This is a problem because you need at least 5. Luckily, little Skyrocket sisters Anna and Allison of Pink Panthers Gracyn and Julia were able to play defense and the game was played. Another Panther showed up about half-time, and the girls played the 10-player "Barracudas" to a 3-3 tie. The Barracudas rotated their players constantly, so for them to just barely tie our girls (who had virtually no breaks) was pretty impressive.



More soccer games are on Thursday, Friday, AND Saturday. It'll be a busy week!!! Have a good one :)












The boy...



The boy was extra goofy this weekend. Here are a few shots that speak for themselves...

(Yes, he climbed on the counter naked...again. The bowl is stategically placed.)

Also, as if to punctuate his boy-ness, here's a quote I heard Todd make today regarding Matthew and his partner in crime (Bucky):
"Hey you, quit putting dirt in the dog's mouth!"
