It's officially fall! Temps are colder, the leaves have fallen and Halloween has come and gone!
We had a pretty great October, all things considered...you know Pandemic and all.
October was FULL of all things sports!
The babies and Thomas wrapped up their soccer season at St. Bart's. I would say the babies season was less than successful.....Tinsley took to it a bit more than Conner but neither one of them loved it per say. Thomas Crushed it! All of the sudden he decided to be a soccer player! He loved it and played really well. I missed his last weekend of games but I heard he scored at least 7 goals, did an actual soccer move and maybe even passed the ball!
Thomas has 2 make-up baseball games this week and then he is done for the season! His baseball team has been crushing it too! They have amazing coaches and he has learned so much!!
We enjoyed a little Stay-cation for Fall break this year...because you know..Pandemic and all.
The kids didn't love it but we fit in a trip to the zoo and a visit to a yummy new place in Nashville called Baked Bear where you can build your own GINORMOUS Chip-Wich! It was amazing!!
After fall break Thomas FINALLY got to go back to school in-person! He was so excited and a little confused! haha. His teacher stayed virtual so he got a new teacher. She is so sweet and he really likes her, but poor kid.....this has been the most confusing first year of school ever!
A week later, the girls got to return to school in-person and everyone was so excited! It's still a little weird - masks all day, no talking in the hallway, no singing in music class, zones on the playground....but at least they are there with friends!
A few days after school returned - HUDSON TURNED TEN!
I can't believe she is in the double digits! A whole decade old! We didn't have a big celebration this year...because you know..Pandemic and all...but she got to pick her dinner out, celebrate with big yard signs and share some treats with her soccer team at practice!
Both girls are in full soccer mode as well! Sullivan's team won their Tournament, Bash in the Boro, playing up an age group and only giving up 1 goal all weekend. But the best thing was that even though they didn't play well - they managed to find a way to win.....that is pretty impressive for 7 and 8 year olds!!
Shout out to the twins as well! They finally had their three year old check up and they are doing great!
Tinsley is 33 lbs (75%) and 39 inches tall (75%). So she is still out little munchkin! She is the smallest of our kiddos but she more than makes up for it with sass and bossiness! She is in charge all the time!
Conner is growing like a WEED! He is 37 lbs (90%) and 41.5 inches tall (>97%). He is SOOOO tall! Not surprising I guess but seriously...he is huge! He still love to throw and hit and play football. He didn't love soccer but he can hit a baseball a mile already!
Our neighborhood treated us to free Snow Cones again this month which is always a crowd favorite!
And of course we can't forget Halloween! The babies got to wear costumes to school the week before so they originally went as the Bat Twins.....but in true twin fashion, when it was time to leave for school, Tinsley changed into some sort of Cupcake Princess character! Either way, they had a great day!
Unfortunately, Hudson's soccer team was in Indianapolis over Halloween weekend but they more than made the best of it! After 2 tough games they got all dressed up for some hotel trick-or-treating and I think they may have gotten more candy in 15 minutes than they ever would at home!
Tom held down the fort with the rest of the crew for a fun Halloween night in the hood. We had the Skeleton Twins, Jenny Weasley and Darth Vador!
That is about all for now!
We are gearing up for November. Which will bring the end of Soccer season, one more out of town soccer tournament, the beginning of basketball season, Thanksgiving with the Halters and preparations for Christmas!
As always here are the rest of our October Pictures:
