Today was a beautiful fall day. Grandma and Grandpa Wilson came up to see Conor's football game, and we had perfect weather. The Blue Tornadoes won their second game, so they're now 2-2. Conor had an amazing catch, from what we heard. I had to run home and get the drinks for the team that we had forgotten, and Jon was turned around in his seat talking to his mom, so neither of us saw it. Jon heard everyone cheering, and turned around just in time to see Conor getting up. Later I told Conor I'd had to run home so I missed it, and that I was sorry I didn't see it. "That's okay Mom. Because I saw it". He's a pretty cool six year old.
Here is a little pre-game warm up. Ellie is the center, and they're practicing the reverse play.
After the Tornadoes won, he changed into his Hawks jersey to see if he could get them a win. (I don't believe he did).
Ellie has learned to ride "sideways" on her bike. It looks like she's riding side saddle, and it makes me nervous.
Rowan walking behind the wagon. He actually took four steps today without holding onto anything. In fact, his arms were straight up in the air!
I'm getting tired of collecting C and E's various Christmas lists, so on Saturday we made a consolidated list to post on the closet door. Fortunately Conor had the foresight to make his double-wide. We also convinced him to use pen, not marker, on the second side so he'll have room for all the new things he finds in the next 3 months. His is pretty self-explanatory, but Ellie's may need translation: I want an American girl doll, a panther cheerleader outfit, some pajamas that matches my American girl doll. The American doll she has decided on is "Julie". Julie is from 1974, and I'm not too excited that there's an American girl doll from when I was alive, so I'm trying to convince her to switch. We'll see!
This car used to be Conor's, but Rowan is loving it. He likes to put things in the trunk, then walk behind it until he runs into something. Then, when he's stuck, he screams until someone helps him out.
I know I've said it before, but we really don't use the swingset all that much, as you can see.
