  • Cooked, Cold Spaghetti Noodles – Hair
  • Peeled Grapes – Eyeballs
  • Peeled Tomato – Heart
  • Candy Corns – Teeth
  • Baby Dill Pickles – Nose

Just down the street from us, they block off the road and all of the town kids come here to trick-or-treat. Awesome. We don’t even have to drive.

Today was the last official soccer game of the season and Chloe broke out of her shell! She was on defense and managed to steal the ball and kick it away. What.

She’s been so timid about kicking the ball and had kind of a nonchalant attitude towards the games this whole season…which was fine. It’s her first time and I loved seeing her enjoy just being out with her friends on the field and we also loved Saturdays mornings as a family and seeing the kids play. 

This morning it was freezing cold and raining but again the girls played a really good game. And when Chloe kicked that ball, everyone including the players and all the parents shouted her name and cheered for her. It was one of the moments that I will always remember. I was so proud of her and also really appreciated all the encouragements and support. We had great coaches and awesome team members. Go Blue Bombers! You were unbeatable!

Look at her in action!
