Preschool Thanksgiving Feast

Today, Hayley's Preschool class had their Thanksgiving feast. The parents were asked to bring food for the feast so that the kids and parents could eat together. When the parents walked into the classroom the preschoolers were all sitting at the tables with these Turkey hats on. It was very cute, but I forgot to take my camera with me. I took this pictures when we got home.

Here is the turkey that Hayley and her class made on the day Sean helped out in the class. She brought home about 5 different Thanksgiving crafts today, but she said this was her favorite one.

Soccer Tournament

On November 15 and 16 Trevor's soccer team (The Scorpions) participated in a Under 8 Soccer Tournament. They were scheduled to play on Saturday (the 15th) at 11:00 and then again at 2:00. On Sunday they were to play at 11:00 and then if they placed well enough again at 1:00 for either the Championship Game (1st or 2nd place) or the Consolation Game (3rd or 4th place). Well, we were just about to head out of the house for the 11:00 game on Saturday when the coach called to say the other team had to forfeit. So we won game #1. Yeah!

Here are some pictures from the 2:00 game on Saturday. It is hard to tell which team is which as the colors of uniforms were light green and gray. We finally had to look at the socks. Trevor's team has gray socks and the other team had black ones. Trevor is also number 5 if you see him from the back. They won this game 1-0. It was all about DEFENSE.

Sean had the camera for this picture. Like Father, Like Son.

I had the camera with us during the 11:00 game this morning, but Hayley kept pulling my attention away from the game so I was not able to get any pictures. We ended up winning the 11:00 game 4-1. Although we won 2 played games and 1 forfeited game, two other team had scored more goals than us and played in the Championship Game. The Scorpions played in the Consolation game at 1:00.

Not much time to rest for the Consolation game since 11:00 game did not end until 12:05 (due to a late start). We ended up playing the same team in the Consolation Game as we did at 11:00.
Here are some pictures from that game.

Trevor did very well on this play. He was able to get the ball from this player and took the ball down field. You can see how he did in the next 3 pictures.

He was really excited about going that far with the ball and being able to keep it from the the other team. The only problem was he did not have enough room at the end to turn the ball inward to the goal.

On another play Trevor shot this ball and almost made a goal. He was so mad at himself, but tried again later and again the goalie caught the ball. At least he kept trying and did not give up. He was able to break away from the other player to take aim on the goal several times, which is a great thing.

After the game the coach had medals for the kids. Had they been 1st, 2nd or 3rd they would have earned an actual trophy. Trevor did receive a trophy for playing soccer this year. It is a Bobble Head trophy and is proudly displayed on his cubbie bookcase in his room.

Sean's Screws were officially loose...

On Friday, November 14 Sean had surgery to have the metal plate and 6 screws removed from the leg he broke in April. One of the screws started backing out and causing Sean lots of pain. His surgeon said that since the break was healed it was an okay time to remove the screws. The metal plate was 4 inches long. Sean kept it to show the kids, well and you. He was off his leg all day Friday and partially yesterday, but today decided to try walking. He goes back to work tomorrow and will use his crutch until the stitches come out.

Boo's new do..

Boo is about to have his 2nd birthday in December, but has been looking very old lately. His hair/fur was really long which makes him look scruffy. So we decided to cut his hair so he can look like a puppy again. It did take Sean and Auntie Karen to hold him as I cut his hair though. After a bit he started to growl at me, but played with Sean and Karen. Hey, just because I had the scissors doesn't mean I was the only one involved.

We tried to get a picture with Hayley and Boo, but neither would sit still or look at the camera. Trevor and Boo together were much more cooperative. Thanks.
