Last Game :(
Aden had his last game of the season this past Saturday and boy did he end on an exciting note! He's been asking Coach Ken for weeks if he can play goalie and he got to in the last game! His daddy and I were so nervous. But he was SO cute out there and much like his daddy, he plays entirely too far from the goal for comfort.
Practicing before the game...
Running and warming up...
GOALIE!!
Quick pep talk from Coach before play starts...
Look how cute he is!
See the ball? Yeah...
Good game though baby! Great season!
Getting their post-game snacks...
Then it was off to a trophy party at CiCi's Pizza. Aden really does get along well with all of these boys. I'll miss them, but perhaps will see a few (or all?) of them again in the Spring!
Giving Coach the card he made for him...
So proud...
GO WILDCATS!
Cirque Symphany
For my mom's birthday, we went to a Cirque symphony at Bass Hall (a symphony with acrobats accompanying the music). It was Aden's first symphany! And he was dressed to impress!
I believe it was also Bailey's first professional symphony - although I could be wrong.
This was Aden during the show...
And intermission...
He had a good time and really enjoyed being there, but was not a fan of sitting still through a lot of the music. It may be a few years before we hit his second symphony.
A few randoms
Perhaps candy weakens the immune system, because shortly after Halloween, both boys got sick. Even Aden! Fevers, coughs, body aches, you name it. Once they started feeling a little better we ventured out for dinner with Lola and Papa. (Aden had a diva moment and kept his sunglasses on for much of the night.)
I was really glad to see Ethan eating well again. He loves corn on the cob.
Ethan also likes wearing this Nemo hat all over the house. He's absolutely adorable in it.
The Halloween that almost wasn't
Been awhile! Let's see where we left off...
Halloween night, the plan was to take the boys to the big Trunk or Treat at Gigi's church, and then maybe trick-or-treat for an hour or so, just to say we did it. About 15 minutes before we were going to leave, Ethan grabbed the back of Aden's costume, and Aden spun around, sending Ethan flying into the brick column in our house. Ouch! It immediately bubbled up into a large goose egg on his head. I grabbed Ethan to get ice on it, Adam gave him Tylenol and as I rocked him, I announced that Halloween has been CANCELLED. I just didn't feel right taking Ethan out like that and Adam didn't want to go without us.
But after about 15 minutes of rocking, Ethan was back up and running around ready to go. So we decided to skip the trunk-or-treat and just visit Lola and Papa's neighborhood for a little while. We joked that Ethan thought his bumble bee costume wasn't scary enough so he made himself "Frankenstein Bee." Luckily, the bump went down quickly and just left a little bruise (that lasted over a week!)
The boys handed out some candy with Lola, then we loaded them up in the wagon and did some trick-or-treating of our own. We thought Ethan would hit a couple houses and then be content with riding in the wagon. Ethan didn't like going to the door on his own, but was happy to go with daddy holding him.
As soon as a few stops were made though, we left Ethan in the wagon but he didn't like that at all. He had already figured out that going to the door meant getting candy and that was pretty much the best deal he's ever heard of. So as soon as the wagon stopped (every. single. time), Ethan would stand up in the wagon, grab his bucket and hold his arms up and say, "Daddy..."
It was the cutest thing. So Ethan is a big fan of Halloween.
Aden is too. He had a BLAST trick-or-treating and is already planning out what he wants to do and what he wants to wear next year.
Last trick-or-treat stop: Lola!
And as an adult I have now discovered another reason to love Halloween... worn out kiddos who sleep peacefully all night.
