soccer star

October 20, 2015

It’s been a whirlwind few days around here. I was in NYC from Friday to Sunday, got home just in time for Maxwell’s soccer game on Sunday afternoon, and then we had Spencer’s birthday party on Monday morning. Is it nap time yet?! I’m going to get to it all but go a little out of order. First up? Soccer!

It was a beautiful fall day and just chilly enough that we didn’t mind being on the sunny side of the field!

Maxwell did great again – hustled after the ball…

scored a few times and even blocked a goal by the other team.

His most impressive move was when he blocked it from the other team, got the ball going the other way, and managed to get it to Sam who scored a goal! An assist! Mean Green is really starting to put it all together.Β I mean…these guys look pretty serious about the game, don’t ya think? πŸ™‚

I thoroughly enjoyed the game because I got to leave Spencer and Samantha home with GJ! Samantha was home practicing her cheerleading moves for next week! πŸ™‚

It was another great game and I’m so glad I didn’t miss it!

Second, It’s beginning to look a lot like FALL! We went to the mini pumpkin patch in the parking lot of Mountain Brook Baptist and picked out a few good looking pumpkins.

Yea, that went about as well as expected. ha!

We had a good, if chaotic, time up at school. We got to see plenty of their artwork and chat with some of the other parents. Spencer’s artwork will come home later but we got to bring home his clay handprint…

Precious. I sure do love those sweet little fat fingers! Β πŸ™‚

I loved getting to walk around Maxwell’s room. There’s so much good learning going on in there! We did get to bring home Maxwell’s artwork and these 2 were my favorites…

Our little family…

He was a sticky mess with those two suckers but he sure was happy for the entire game! “Go Max-cell go!”

Maxwell did great. He hustled and got after the ball. He’s definitely not afraid to get up in there and go for it!

He scored 3 goals…
