I'm behind as usual! Not much new to report for us, just trying to enjoy the fall weather!
Evie's class held an unofficial fieldtrip to the Blake's on one of their days off. I took work off and had a lovely outing with my girls!

This little piggy went to the orchard
They loved feeding and petting the goats

The outdoor soccer season is over this weekend (whew, it's been a marathon!). Maggie is doing a short indoor session with her team, and still seems to love playing!
Finishing up the outdoor season
Great kick... even better when she contacts the ball...
Grandma can come to the outdoor games, yay!
Post-game playground fun
It's leaf season in our tree-city!
Peak-a-boo
The joy of nature
Stop. Growing. Up.
Giggle-snorts
I'm ready to go!
Here's some others:
"Ben, please don't poop"
Bed hair, don't care
When Maggie starts talking... she kind of never stops...
We have a new amazing babysitter... she literally showed up with cookies for the girls to decorate!
Poor Ben got his first bad virus of the year this week. Thankfully he was negative for COVID, but he had a fever for a few days. It turned him into a cuddle-bug though, so it was all bad news. Our urgent care is doing rapid tests, literally only takes 20 minutes to get results, so that's been really helpful (Jamie and I had a scare a couple weeks ago too).
Poor baby
It is so rare for him to even rest his head on me, so I'm enjoying it while I can!
Soccer season is in full-swing, and both girls seem to really enjoy it. They are both very polite players, so hopefully they will learn a little aggression this season!

Evie plays on the small fields 3v3, loves sitting on the sideline with her friend
Warming up at practice
Best part of soccer is playing at the park after!
Big sister helping out
We had a playdate a couple weeks ago. Each girl got to have one friend over that's in our "bubble." I think they both had a great time, though Evie was definitely exhausted and melodramatic by 8pm, proving my assumption that she's not quite ready for friend sleepovers yet. Maggie and her friend stayed up until at least 1am... possibly later. She was very cranky the next day.
Kindergarten buddies
No time for photos

Here is Evie explaining one of her masterpieces. She is really getting into drawing lately:
Here's some of Maggie's soccer action (she's got the bright yellow shoes). She's still getting the hang of it, but seems to be understanding her position on the field better.
Ben loves to sing Twinkle Twinkle and Wheels on the Bus lately. He makes up his own lyrics, but sticks to the melody:

Start 'em young
Note a great photo, but Ben's favorite new place to be
