Fall Soccer...aka roasting in the desert

My first fall soccer game was this past Saturday. By the time we arrived at the field (for the 10:00 game) it was nearly 90 degrees. Ugh. We drank lots of water and battled through it though! Since I am now four we play on a bigger field, and have four, 10 minute quarters. Woah! But that also means we get to have snack and drinks at half time AND at the end of the game. BONUS.

Thumbs up! Reday to start.

Look at that form.

Discussing team strategy.

Mentally preparing.

All Aboard!

One needs to get pretty creative this time of year...still in the upper 90's outside which equals getting a little stir crazy in the house. By this point mom really lets our creative juices flow. One morning when she was doing laundry this is what she came out to find. A train built out of pillows, blankets, stuffed animals and laundry baskets. Brilliant!

Tickets! Tickets, please!

Star of the Week

It was my turn to be "Star of the Week" at school. I was so excited! I have been anxiously awaiting the lovely yellow and circle box. Every week I would ask mom when it was going to be my turn? When was Ms. Cindy going to ask the class to drumroll and call out my name? When could I put my beloved items inside that box? Oh, the joy! October 5th was my lucky day. I was able to fill out the special posters with my name and favorite things. I drew a picture of my family and what I wanted to be when I grow up (a firefighter is the choice this month). I was able to take a favorite toy (my airplane transformer) and present it all to the class. It was everything I had hoped for and more. Can I do it again?

September Blur

The month of September whizzed by! We had lots of fun...here is a picture montage of the month. In it includes Coleman's "class pet" Rex visiting us for the weekend, a hair cut, a visit to the apple orchard, fun with friends, Chiefs Football and our Labor Day weekend trip to San Diego. Whew!

School Bound!

I am officially a student of Sunshine Preschool. Hooray! I have been wanting to go to school for over a year now and I FINALLY got to see what it was all about. I did have some pre-first day jitters and even squeezed out a few tears but by morning I decided I was going to be brave and headed to school. And I am so glad I did! We did all kinds of fun things but my favorite things were recess and watching the teachers use their walkie talkies. :) Here are a few pics from the big day.

It's Science Time

We had a science lesson with our playgroup friends the other day. We learned about dry ice and what happens to it when you add different liquids to it. We loved adding dish soap and making dry ice bubbles the best. What a fun day of learning!
