The first rain (sort of) of the season,so the first thing we think to do is ride bikes of course! No soccer was cancelled so we all got to play along with prepping Kaylee's classroom pumpkin display which included using a jigsaw to cut out bat wings.
The following week was Red Ribbon Week at school. There was Camouflage, Team Jersey, Hawaiian clothes, Crazy hair/socks, and Tie Dye days. Activities during the week included a Long Beach Police Helicopter landing in the school yard, Kaylee's class made Brazilian fruit dish, more preparation of the large pumpkin display for Kaylee's class, and the Brownies decorated pumpkins at Wardlow park to enter in the pumpkin contest on Friday. Friday also included setting up Kaylee's class pumpkin display, Mommy helped in Cienna's class with their scholar store, and we all got to enjoy dressing up in our homemade costumes for a fun filled Trunk or Treat at school that evening before prepping to bring Halloween themed soccer snacks for both girls games the next day.
We got to finally carve our pumpkins after the games and prepare appetizers for Daddies work pot luck that he had to miss due to a meeting. We also stopped by to wish Ariela a Happy Birthday for a bit. Then Monday was Halloween. The girls were very excited to come home from school that day and dress up again to go Trick or Treating around the neighborhood and with friends. After meeting up with friends soon the girls were just anxious to come home and hand out the candy that they just got from Trick or Treating!
The rest of the week began Student Teacher Conferences and minimum days at school. Both of our girls got fantastic reviews from their teachers although they are little bit different types of students. There also was a Daisy meeting and play dates throughout the week. Then Friday we joined some of the Bakx at the StubHub center to watch USC vs. UCLA women's soccer!
After another weekend of soccer games and daylight saving time we got to be shocked along with most, of who our next president will be. The following day Kaylee lost her 3rd tooth. The Tooth Fairy left her a dinosaur and some silly string which she enjoyed covering Daddy with. That Friday was Veterans Day and there was no school. Mommy spent some time with the girls thinking about those in and out of our family that have served this country.
That weekend was the last soccer games of the season. We celebrated with a family brunch at Crooked Duck followed by a trip to the Aquarium with the Daisy's and their families as well. Since the season had ended it was time for end of the season parties. Kaylee's team's was earlier in the week followed by Cienna's. Mommy and Mac made up special awards for all the players. It was a truly fun season for all. On Friday after the party we were all very excited to leave for a week long adventure to Northern California to visit family the next day, but Cienna was determined to lose her tooth before we left.. and so out came tooth number 9 for her. The next morning the Tooth Fairy left her an activity book, which was perfect for the long car ride ahead!
Before loosing that tooth Cienna had a short orthodontist appointment to make sure her retainer was doing the trick and take some after braces pictures. She has enjoyed helping to cook with Mommy on occasion, but her favorite dish at any time of the day has been salad (specifically lettuce, carrots, and croutons with ranch). She won the award of "Lefty Rocket Shot" due to her memorable first goal this season which was truly a left footed rocket!
Kaylee's dramatic ways keep us laughing, however she has really done well with, not necessarily staying completely away from, but maintaining the friend drama at school. She recognizes when her friends are going overboard and finds others to play with making sure she is friends with everyone. She keeps moving forward with her reading and loves to write, draw, and color. "Speedy Goalzales" was her soccer award for being one of the fastest on her team, despite being the youngest, and using the speed to score goals.
Plenty of pictures until next time!
