Soccer season comes to a close

Soccer season is almost over. Cormac has one more game tomorrow.  Gus' team finished last week.  It was a good year.  Cormac REALLY loved it.  I think Gus is ready to move on to something else (namely baseball in the spring).

The Sharks

The Fireballs

A stop at the pumpkin patch with Grandma

Grandma came to visit last weekend for Cadel's birthday and also to take in a couple of boy soccer games.  She took all the boys to see The Boxtrolls at the movie theater.  On our way home we stopped at a little pumpkin patch so she could get some apples.  The kids all had fun running around.  It was great to have Grandma come for a visit!

Cadel is 3!

Yesterday was Cadel's third birthday and he had a great day.  He is such a fun little boy--a good amount of ornery with the most perfect freckles on his nose.

Cormac and Gus didn't want to go to school yesterday for fear they would miss birthday awesomeness.

I found little dinosaur candles and that was a huge hit.  Cormac has already requested some for his birthday.

Cadel had LOTS of help opening (and playing with) his presents.  He loved every minute of all of the attention.

Glasses, for now

I took Gus to the optometrist last week at the recommendation of his school nurse.  The eye doctor determined he had Amblyopia (lazy eye) in his left eye.  She wants Gus to wear glasses for the next 5-6 weeks and is hopeful that this will correct the problem.  Gus was not too happy when she first told him, but once we went out to look at the glasses his attitude completely changed.  He had a good time picking out his frames (which, by the way, they have way cooler frames than when I wore glasses as a kid).  On the way home from the optometrist's office he even said he was excited to get his glasses.  We picked up his glasses yesterday and I think he looks so cool.  He is pretty proud of them.

Boxes!

Just a few pictures

While waiting for Gus to come home from school I snapped a few pictures.

"Silly Cadel" as he refers to himself when he is doing something funny.

 A few of the many faces of Cormac.

My favorite, the pouty face.

 Sweet little Maggie.

Another gameday

A few pictures from last Saturday.  Gus was the only one with a game.

Joe Cool chillin' out in the grass during half time.

Cormac was bummed he didn't have his game (moved to Tuesday).  He did have fun playing with his pals and Cadel.

Cadel thinks he is on a soccer team too--we don't tell him he is the only one on that team.
