Soccer Tourney!

Holy Moly do we have a good team!  Brynleigh's team was first in our division for Springboro's SAY group (8 teams total for her age group) which qualified us for an out of house tournament for Miami South region.  Well, turns out we smoked another team and made it to the finals in which we lost....BUT, we later found out that they take the top 2 teams to STATE!  So, even though winter sports have begun, we will continue to practice soccer and see what we can accomplish at State tourneys Nov 8th & 9th.  Hard work, dedication and determination will pay off....Go Firehawks!

Hat Day

Hat day just so happen to fall on Gym day, so Adelyn was completely devastated that I would not allow her to wear her cowboy boots.  But, that didn't stop her from pretending she had a lasso as I snapped a picture of these pretty girls!

Mystery Reader

I had the wonderful opportunity to be the Mystery Reader for Adelyn's class.  It was SOOOO much fun!  The first book I read was Dear Zoo, a classic lift the flap board book that is a story about finding an animal that is just right.  Then, I read another classic Bear Hunt, and brought props for the kids to join in on the noises we encounter while "hunting"for a bear.  Ady said she knew that I was going to be the reader because the clues Mrs. Root gave the morning of....I work at home, have a big dog named Max, and like to snuggle on the couch with my family.  Gee, wonder what gave me away?!?!!  

Somebody call 911...

Right up Adelyn's alley...emergency vehicles, staff, and information...and it was open house day.  She could not get enough! They got to tour a firetruck, ambulance, and even witnessed Medflight Helicopter fly in for a landing and tour!

Do you want to play some ball?

Waiting on the afternoon school bus the other day...this is what I looked back and saw.  An old man, 10 years old to be exact, waiting for some children to come home to play ball.  How sweet...
