Giselle MOVING in on the BALL, the picture featured in the newspaper!

It was great to see her grow as a player from the first week of practice this season.  Every week, Bob, Isabella and I were her biggest cheerleaders, attending every practice and game.  Her team finished 7-3 and barely got knocked out of the playoffs by losing a very tight game in the tournament this weekend, 3-2!  They gave it their all, despite the pouring rain this Saturday.  We are super proud of Giselle and she cannot wait to play again in the spring! 

I was surprised as I opened up the local newspaper, only to read about Homer Soccer Club!  The club is growing and sees plans for the future!  And WHO was pictured in the paper?  GISELLE ELOISE! ATTA GIRL!! CHECK IT OUT!!

We love watching you out there Giselle!  You are something FIERCE!  From your facial expressions, to your determination, to your skill or love of the sport, you are certainly on to something.....  XOXOXO

Happy Halloween!

We started the festivities of Halloween by having our 13th annual pumpkin painting/carving contest.  Then, Isabella's third grade class had a project where they had to pick their favorite character from a book, write a report, and also paint a pumpkin that was their favorite character.  Isabella chose to write and paint about Elsa from FROZEN.  On Monday, we went to the school where we got to see the "pumpkin parade."  It was really neat to see all the creativity those third graders put into their pumpkins and book reports. 

On Halloween, their school had a parade where first through fourth graders marched in their Halloween costumes.  Isabella was a character from Monster High (a t.v. show) and Giselle was a witch. 

We finished off the day by trick or treating in a subdivision down the street from us.  The girls lasted an hour and a half this year.  I am super proud of them, as it is always so cold on Halloween.  This year we got lucky and it was not raining!  Little Giselle always tuckers out first.  We came home and all took warm showers, ate chili out of the crock pot AND watched "The Nightmare Before Christmas."  Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!
