Bella has been busy with (what else) soccer. Her team has done well this season and she has made plenty of goals and assists along the way. She is the leading scorer on her team, but is struggling with confidence in her strike. Two games ago, she convinced her coach to do the Gangnam style dance if she scored, but was just fine doing it herself :) She really is a goofball that is very driven to always do her best, whatever the circumstance.
Alaina treated us to a Gymnastics preview this month. While she was doing the bars (her favorite) the coach told the crowd of parents, "I am one of 10 nationally recognized bars Level 10 instructors and I can tell you that THIS is what we all look for..." Definitely a proud mama moment. Especially since Alaina never views gymnastics as anything but playtime. She truly just loves perfecting her skills. People are always amazed at how strong she is because they see her petite frame and not her guns. I think she can do the most push-ups in the family. Ask her someday, to show you...I guarantee you will be impressed. Unfortunately, it hasn't been all good news for Alaina this month. Her poor bunny, Mustang, died at night on Oct 4. She was a wild one and loved to run with Argos, and put him in his place when necessary. We were all sad to say good bye to her.
Jake has really been enjoying Farm School. He goes to their preschool, three afternoons a week, and is having a great time. We can't say enough good things about the school and its teachers. They had a family night the week before Halloween and the kids got to dress up, decorate pumpkins, make masks and robots, and take a tractor ride at night. Jake told scary stories during the tractor ride and he had the girls and I in stitches. Two friends, jungle, cheetah, hi-yah...Four friends, jungle, crocodile, bite his butt...Ten friends, jungle, dragon, more hi-yahs...
Me, well, nothing much here.
