Hard to believe October has come and gone already. It was a jam packed month of soccer, birthdays, and Halloween!
Part of our soccer season came to an end. The Green Team had a great season. They learned a lot and had a lot of fun!
The Purple Dragons also ended their season with a tough, close, 1-0 loss in a total mud pit! These girls battled all season long, playing against girls 3-4 years older than them. We won some, lost some and tied some....but got better every single week.
Sullivan also decided, mid-season, that she wanted to play TSC along with Hudson. She jumped right in and has done really well. She is playing forward instead of defender and is loving it. She has scored several goals and was put on the top team for her very first tournament in Bowling Green. She has gotten so much better in just a few weeks and we can't wait to see her continue to grow on the soccer field.
Hudson is doing well with her TSC team also. They have had a ton of games get rained out but finally got to play in another tournament and ended up winning the Championship. She has a few weeks left and gets to wrap up her season with a tournament out of town in Memphis. She is very excited - but mostly I think just b/c she gets to stay in a hotel.
Along with soccer, we had to celebrate a BIG 8th birthday! Our sweet, loving, kind, biggest, big sister turned 8 this month! She celebrated with a Cake Decorating party with some sweet friends!
And finally, October also means HALLOWEEN!
We had 3 great entries in the Pumpkin Decorating contest and brought home 2 ribbons!
Thomas made his into an Apple (with a worm and everything) and got Honorable Mention for his age group!
Sullivan made Humpty Dumpty and brought home 2nd in the 6-9 age group.
Hudson made a girl mummy and brought home 3rd in the 6-9 age group.
We didn't have time to carve, and barely had time to buy our pumpkins (we got them at noon on the day they were due to the contest) so I'm proud of the kiddos for making something happen as quickly as they did.
This year, we had a Super Hero Theme at the Frericks' house. We had a great night of trick-or-treating. The girls did the WHOLE neighborhood and Thomas and the babies did over half of the hood. They loved riding in their cars and watching everything going on.

As if our night wasn't exciting enough, Sullivan also lost a tooth in the middle of Trick-or-Treating.....I guess the blood just added to her costume!
That's about all October.
November brings the end of soccer season and the start of basketball season and of course some family time with the Halters over Thanksgiving!
