Spring Warm Up Cup

After a little over a month break, soccer practice started up again last week and Tyler's team played in the Spring Warm Up Cup in Houston over the weekend. The team was undefeated and came in #1 in the Bronze division. None of their three opponents scored any points against them.

Alarm Clock Discovery

This morning Daphne told me, "I made another discovery about alarms. Everything is annoying to wake up to." Apparently not even the fun Banana Phone song got her excited to get up for school.

Not so Cute!

Temperatures have been hovering around freezing in the morning yesterday and today. Daphne opted for a hat today because she didn't like that one of her male buddies called her cute yesterday when she wore her cat ear muffs.

Tent Skills

Tyler and most of his Cub Scout den practiced setting up and taking down tents on their own tonight with minimal adult help. I think the younger sibling helpers really made all the difference, especially little Matthew in his pack t-shirt and faux neckerchief!

Happy Halloween!

Darth Banana

Naturally Daphne just had to
be a banana this year!

Rocking out

Tyler was Omega from Fortnite. It was
his second choice since we couldn't find
a Rogue Agent costume.

One photo without the mask just to verify it is Tyler

Daphne with her bestie Penny. They trick-or-treated
together along with Penny's parents and Michael and me.

Tyler went trick-or-treating without parents this year and went
with Santi, Luke, Tommy, and Simon. I was informed that all
5th graders use pillowcases, not plastic pumpkins or totes.

Candy time!

Police Station Tour

Tyler's cub scout pack took a tour of Sunset Valley Police Station yesterday. A big thanks to the police officers that took the time to visit with us.

In the briefing room

In the interview room- unlike TV and movies,
there were no 2-way mirrors in the interview room

Checking out the ATV

The kids really liked the weight room

Checking out the police cruiser

Too cool

Even though it was very overcast, Tyler immediately
donned his aviator glasses after he got his hair cut.
