Connor's All-Star game

Connor's big All-Star tournament was yesterday. Their team placed 3rd, which was kind of a shock (because they absolutely killed every team they scrimmaged) BUT, let me tell you, Connor was awesome! His team played 4 30-minute games, back-to-back. They were the only team that had to play all of their games one right after the other (which probably has a bit to do with the outcome of the tournament), but they played their little hearts out. You'd think that they'd look like mush by the last game, but that was, by far, their best game of the day. Connor especially rocked the last game, he was great on assists, defense and he came SO SO close to scoring a goal. We were so proud of Connor's performance, he's such a talented little guy. Anyhow, here's some pictures I managed to snap. They're a bit blurry because they're action shots, but we wanted everybody to be a part of Connor's big day.

Thanksgiving at Preschool

It's so exciting. Lily's first year with all the fun Holiday crafts at preschool. They had quite a week and she was so stinking cute (when isn't she, eh?). Anyhow, here's the cuteness...

Here's Lily's "Turkey Cookie". It was equally adorable and delicious. I got all of the candy corns (whether I wanted them or not) because Lily doesn't like them.

Here's our little Indian. Her Indian name is "Runs Like the Wind" and it's so appropriate. She much preferred being an Indian to a Pilgrim. Is there anybody who know Lily that has a hard time believing that?

And here's our little pilgrim. The look on her face says all we need to know about how she feels about being a pilgrim.

Lily's new haircut!

Lily got her hair cut on Friday, and my mom is dying to see a picture. We all really like it, it doesn't look stringy and it frames her cute little face so nicely. Lily really likes it because we don't have to "do" her hair in the morning. We just water it down a bit and we're good to go, Lily's in heaven. Any how, without further adieu....

Halloween!

Here's some pics of the Halloween cuteness that is my kids. Connor was by far the coolest lookin' pirate we saw this Halloween, and there were A LOT of pirates this year. And don't even get me started on Lily! She was so stinking cute, and she was made even cuter by the fact that she was the only girl under the age of 7 who wasn't dressed as a princess! Although, she did insist on dressing as a princess for her friend Sydney's "Halloween Tea Party". We improvised with her dance recital costume, added a tiara and a wand (which we, of course, just had laying around the house) and she became a Fairy! She still looked pretty cute, even if I do say so myself. They had a lot of fun and got a lot of candy, all in all, a pretty perfect Halloween. Enjoy.
