James not so sure about his first costume
This Halloween was baby James' first, so we all dressed up for the occasion.  Will and Connor were dressed as Batman, Weston as Spider-man, James as Superman, and I was Wonder Woman.  I went to Connor's class party for all the Halloween fun.  Weston was recovering from the stomach bug, so he stayed home with Mimi.  It stormed that night, so no one went trick-or-treating. We only had one trick-or-treater come to our door.  However, we all managed to have plenty of fun and eat lots of sugar at our house!

Weston's First Soccer Season

Weston's first soccer game was the day baby James was born.  I couldn't leave the hospital, so I was sad that I had to miss it.  Will, Connor, Mimi, & Grandy all went to cheer on Weston.  Will said that Weston was really excited to be out on the field.  He was really aggressive, pulling on others' jerseys when fighting for the ball.  He was also making scary faces and growling at the other team.  Oh, Weston is such a funny little guy!  I was able to go to his second game, so I snapped all these photos.  Weston had a good first Fall soccer season.  He scored 4 goals.  He was quite the defensive player (as Will pointed out to me).  We had fun watching the games and watching Weston develop good athletic skills and learn about sportsmanship.  After the games, Connor got to run out on the field, wearing the shin guards and green socks I bought him, as he score his own goal.  On several weekends, Will and I loaded up the boys to go to the soccer fields for a picnic lunch and to practice kicking the ball around.  This was good family fun, and the boys were able to run and play off all their energy.  Soccer will start back in January or February, so we will bundle up for the second half of the season.
