We are well on our way into fall and that means a few things. The leaves are changing colors and rapidly falling to the ground. The days are way too short already and the rain has arrived. It also means the wrap up of fall sports and lots of Halloween activities.
This week both girls had a Halloween "Monster Mash" at their schools. Elsie decided not to unveil her actual Halloween costume, but to instead go as Elsa again so that she could match with her friend who was going as Anna. For her, the highlight of the night was definitely the doughnut on a string game.
C.C.'s event was a parent free activity. She has a blast with the dancing, snacks, a DJ, temporary tattoos and fairy fair. She did wear her Halloween costume. I was super proud of her because lots of her friends were going as grown up versions of Disney princesses and they wanted her to be Ariel, but she had different plans. She wanted to be a girl scout that had a crafting accident and then got lost in the woods. I LOVE her strong nature and that she will do what she wants to do, despite peer pressure.
Also this weekend Elsie had her last soccer game of the season. Elsie has always been a little timid on the soccer field. She is not one to aggressively try to steal the ball and is usually happy to either run behind the pack or dribble a couple of times and pass it off. This weekend's game started out much the same way and then, out of nowhere, she had an opportunity for a breakaway and she took it. She scored her first ever goal! She must have decided she liked it because the next time she got in, she scored again. Almost two complete seasons and she never scored and then in the last game, she scored twice!
Afterwards, we had a team party. It was fun to celebrate a great season and a real family effort with Jeremy and Merrick coaching.
