Our October has been dominated by soccer.
With Lofton as the coach I am, by default, team mom. I take my role very seriously. Just kidding. I do attend all the games, though.
And I also got in a minor {okay, major} verbal altercation with an opposing team's coach. She was cheating. And insulting my husband. It was ugly. I may have used the phrase "pot calling the kettle black" and told her to get back on her side of the field. Not my finest moment. But funny in hindsight.
Tomorrow night we play our last game and I am not sad. Not one bit. Although the kiddos are pretty adorable. They are also unbeaten. See that blond little boy on the left? That's Warner. He's a beast on the soccer field.
Last weekend we carved our pumpkin. Reese was so excited... until he realized what is actually inside the pumpkin. Evidently pumpkin guts aren't his thing.
So basically Lofton and I spent two hours carving pumpkins while Reese played football in the yard. They looked phenomenal-- mine had polka dots and Lofton carved a Mickey Mouse vampire into the other-- but I didn't get a picture because the heat got them after approximately one night. Bummer. Wednesday was the big trick or treating night in Opelika. Reese went to five houses. At the first house {friends of ours we attend church with} Reese burst into tears when he got four feet from the door. The pressure of ringing the doorbell was too much. So we did it together. And after five houses, all people we knew, he was done. Lesson learned? Halloween is not our jam.
And with that November has arrived and Mickey Mouse awaits.
We are beyond excited.
