Fall and Soccer

We love Fall!  There are so many fun events this time of year, not to mention nicer weather.  The boys are getting very excited for Halloween!   They helped me put out all the fall and Halloween decorations and immediately grabbed their pumpkins and started filling them with cars and toys.

The boys are getting more detailed about drawing pictures, not just coloring or scribbling.  We did some self portraits outside with the chalk.
  




















Ford and Jake recently started a soccer class.  Sports for 3 year olds is pretty much hit or miss.  There are 8 kids in the class, but only 4 or 5 (including Ford and Jake) are typically participating, while the others are just running around (without their ball) or sitting on the side or on their Mom's lap.  Even though our boys like soccer and are participating in class, we are still so glad we went the class route instead of a team at this age.  They all practice with their own balls for most of the class, they even do some different drills, then at the end they play a game with one ball.  Playing the actual game is a little bit of chaos for a bunch of 3 year olds.  In life, we are constantly telling them to share and take turns, then suddenly all that goes out the window and they are supposed to steal the ball from each other.  What a confusing world!  It's all pretty cute though.
