Noah is playing Futsal. One of these days I really do plan to read the rules so I can explain the difference between it and indoor soccer. It is much faster paced than outdoor soccer. Noah's footwork and passing has improved because they are playing on a small court. I just like sitting inside on bleachers.
All of the 4th grade classes put on a Utah program. I thought it was well done. It started on time and was short which is a recipe for success. You can spot Noah because he is one of the few kids whose Mom didn't care enough to find pioneer clothes. It didn't really bother me until I looked at the picture and now I feel like a slacker.
They did some square dancing at the end. Noah does a mean dosado. It was his first time dancing with the ladies and he was pretty shy about it. I remember dancing the Virginia Reel in grade school. I always wanted Anedru Firth (correct spelling, I would know because I liked him all through grade school) to be my partner. I couldn't get Noah to reveal his favorite partner, I wonder if it's on a doodle somewhere. Do boys do that? I wasn't going to put this video on but it's sort of amusing. First, Noah turns bright red when he has to sashay down the aisle. Then watch the kid in green fall after he goes under the bridge. Good stuff.I was walking down the first grade hall of the elementary school and saw a bunch of turkeys hanging on the walls and panicked. My plan to hang a turkey on the fridge to remind me to help Ben with his disguise a turkey project back fired. It's a good thing I go up to the elementary school everyday or my kids might never have their homework finished on time. It's also a good thing that it wasn't due until the next day. We decided to disguise his turkey as a basketball player from Turkey: Memo. I think it turned out pretty well. You can barely tell the difference between the turkey and the real guy.
I went with Zack's preschool to the dinosaur museum. I've never been there and it's pretty impressive. It was also fun to watch Zack interact with his preschool friends, especially all those girls. I drove and had a car full of girls who all wanted to ride with Zack.
The best part of November was Thanksgiving. Emily dazzled us with her turkey and decadent desserts.
Check out Noah and Ethan's dinner. They were going to town on those legs. Yulk! I avoided looking at their end of the table. It grosses me out think about it. So, no, I don't eat the big turkey legs they sell at Disneyland, but you can guess you does...
This is one of the many reasons we like getting together with Matt's family. The cousins all get along really well together. About the only time we see them is when they are hungry.
This is fog and fog is fun to play in.
We took a risk taking 10 kids bowling, but it turned out to be really fun. Except that Zack really wanted to win and he isn't very good. Everyone else was happy though.
Before we left Vegas we hit the Coke factory and sampled drinks they sell around the world.
Zack looks sweet and innocent, but don't cross him. Ethan tricked him by giving him a drink he said was Sprite but in reality was Beverly (the nastiest drink on earth). Ethan was given quite a tongue lashing from Zack, who does NOT like to be tricked. He got off pretty easy though, for a minute I thought Zack was going to spit it out on him.
The last stop was the M&M store where we managed to not buy anything and watched a lame (if you are an adult) 3-D movie. The kids liked it and Sam and Noah were awesome in their front row seats.
Decemeber is here and I am hoping it will move at a more reasonable pace. I'm also hoping it won't snow, but I doubt I'll get either wish.
