Family Feast Day

Today was Connor's Family Feast Day. Each kindergartner got to bring a favorite family food to share and we all had a big feast! Mads got to come with me and I really wanted to get a cute picture of both my kiddos, feasting. I could not get Madison to look at the camera. I kept telling her to look up at Mommy. This is what the majority of my pictures looked like.


Connor was tired of posing so he took matters into his own hands. When I told her to look up for this shot he grabbed one of her piggie tails and pulled her head back. What a sweet brother!

This was finally the best shot I got.


After the feast the kiddos got to go out and play for recess and Madison joined in. She really thought she was one of the big kids. Connor was really proud to show off his baby sister. He kept telling people, "This is my baby sister Madison. She'll eat ANYTHING!"

Soccer season

I can't believe the soccer season is winding down. I love it, but am excited for a small break from running to practices, scrimmages and games every day!

Connor plays in an indoor league and her received player of the week this week for scoring two goals! Unfortunately they lost, but Connor didn't seem to care, after scoring goals, and getting his certificate!


Amanda still has one more week of games but they are the tournament games, so her team had their party anyway because they ended the regular season in first place! Amanda loves playing soccer, but gets so embarrassed having the spotlight put on her. This is a picture of her getting her trophy and being super embarrassed!


This was Sam's last week of games and her team also ended the regular season in first place. We were in charge of snack so we made special victory cupcakes hoping that they would win the championship tournament.


They did end up winning the championship! This is a picture of Sam proudly displaying her first place medal!

3 reasons

I wasn't able to go with Connor this year to our schools book fair to help him make his selections. There are three reasons why I'm sorry I didn't get to go.


Reason #1
Reason #2
Reason #3
Pokemon books. Really Connor?

Merry Christmas!

Looks like Christmas came early to the Young household this year, at least for Madison. I had one of her presents, a baby doll, hidden in my closet. In my cleaning and reorganizing of my closet it became "unhidden". She quickly found it and had it ripped out of the box before I discovered her. What a stinker! Merry Christmas Madison.

Roomates

Madison moved out of her crib into a toddler bed a few months ago but only just recently figured out that she can get out of it herself! Since then Samantha has had a sleeping partner. This is what I see every night when I go in to check on the girls! I think it's adorable that Madison is such a bed hog! And Sam even likes it. One night Mads slept in another room while we had company and Sam commented on how much she missed her!

Halloween

We spent Halloween night at a party at our friend's house eating chili cheese dogs, nachos and tamales followed by lots and lots of candy. Does it get any better than that? Here's a picture of the kiddos ready to head over to the party. Yes, Amanda is missing. Her first Halloween not dressing up and going trick-or-treating! She did make a deal with me though, that if she took Mads out, she got half of Mads candy!
