Way to Go Cowboys!

Ethan just finished up his first season of tackle football.  His team did a great job.  Mr. Darwin, their coach, did an excellent job teaching them about the sport.  They learned how to work as a team and how to be winners and losers, even though they preferred to win.  Ethan played offensive end and defensive end.  I was impressed at how hard those little fellows hit.  Ethan is definitely a tough young man.

Ethan in action!

At one game, Ethan recovered a fumble and ran it in for a touchdown.  We were all so proud of him.  I look forward to watching him play again next year.  Way to go Cowboys!!

Halloween Fun

We always look forward to this time of year.  We usually begin thinking about Halloween costumes at the very beginning of fall, but this year the kids decided on a costume the week before Halloween.  That is a sure sign that they are growing up.  This year Ethan really wanted to be a football player.  McKinley was undecided so we went to the Spirit Halloween store and she found this precious tiger costume.  So he was a Clemson football player and she was his tiger mascot. 

 

 

We went on a hayride with our church and went Trick-or-Treating.  My sister and Paxton and Peyton joined us.  It was a little chilly but the kids didn't mind.  They were trying to fill their Halloween buckets with candy.  Paxton was eating his candy as soon as he got it.  After the hayride we headed back to the church for some soup.  It didn't take us long to warm up with the yummy soup.  It's hard to believe that it will soon be Christmas time! My how time flies.
