The weekend before Halloween the weather here was absolutely beautiful. We started out Saturday with a foggy soccer game (and win)! One of the moms had a logo made so we could all purchase sweatshirts! The plan is for the boys to stay on the same team going forward, so it was a good investment.
Grandma Nancy came with us and then we went home so I could make her a breakfast pizza for brunch to celebrate her birthday!
Next, we hit up a Halloween carnival at the local QFC for some games, face painting and cookie decorating with Sammy and Sully. While we were there, we decided that with an afternoon free of plans, we would go "play wine tasting" as Melissa said! (i.e. the boys could play outside while we tasted wine). Greg, Melissa and I went to Chateau Ste. Michelle (easily the most kid friendly winery due to their large property) with Sammy, Sully, and Ben.
Because it was so beautiful out with all of the leaves (and because we all were decently dressed for once), I had her snap a family photo!

At Ben's recent dentist appointment, we discovered that he has 3 cavities :/ Such a bummer, but he was a trooper when he got the first 2 filled.
Halloween! (With WINE)!
Being cute at the gym one day:
Ben has really taken an interest in the states lately! I had bought him a cool book about the states for Christmas last year, and he is enjoying using that to learn all about each state's bird, flag, etc. My mom also found an app on his iPad called "Stack the States" that helps them learn which states boarder which states and a bunch of other fun facts about them. And being that he (seemingly) has a crazy good memory, it's so funny to watch him repeat back all kinds of information that he has learned.
This past weekend, Kristin, Melissa and I took a cycling class (SO hard, so intense) and followed it up with brunch :)
This week was Ben's "Start of the Week" at school. We had so much fun putting this together to hang on the wall at his school. At the end of the week he gets to present it to the class and talk all about the things he likes.
End of season soccer team pizza party! The boys did so great this season! They only lost 2 games, but still came in 3rd for the season. (The two teams that beat them basically dominated the league)! The coach doesn't believe in awards unless they are earned, which we find hilarious and kind of agree with, but since they did place 3rd - he approved them getting medals. They were all so excited!
Such a fun season. I can't believe how much we enjoyed SOCCER!
