Indoor Futsal

Winter Futsal has begun!  This year, Lukas also got to play on a team.  Paul is a trooper for coaching both teams!

Despite the team being down a player, the kids had tons of hustle!

Charlie's team had many of his prior futsal teammates, and a few new ones!

Thanksgiving in California

We were so grateful for our health and ability to drive down to California to spend the holiday with my parents.  As an added bonus, Paul's parents were also in California and were able to join us too.  That doesn't happen very often!

The biggest (and cutest) Turkey I ever did see!

The ladies in the kitchen!

We also got to celebrate Papa Moo's birthday with cousins.

Lacrosse Champs

The weekend before Thanksgiving, Charlie's Lacrosse team ended up on top at the Valhalla tournament in Portland.  After losing both games on day 1, they showed up to win on day 2 - and won all 3 games to earn the championship.  Great job Mad LAX!

 

Here is a short video -

Class Accountant

 Lukas got to collect and count the classroom pizza money for Pizza Friday.  What a cute Accountant!

Halloween Piano Recital

This year we are getting back into a more normal routine with in-person recitals.  The Halloween recital is one of my favorites.

Lukas played two songs:

Charlie performed one song - do you recognize the movie it's from?

Little Red Hen - School Performance

 The first and second grade class put on a performance of the Little Red Hen at school.  What a cute show!  

Lukas was one of the Little Red Hens (spot him in his blue mask)

If you want to see a longer version of the full performance, here is the link the school sent out: https://youtu.be/g9wSLpMQGsI

Secret Scrimmage

At the end of the club season there was a secret scrimmage where the coach arranged to have the kids play the adults.  It was a hoot!

By the end of the game all of the kids were on the field at the same time!

Soccer

Both boys had a  great season this year! A busy few months but it's so worth it to see them improve as the season goes on.  Here are a few highlights:
