Weekend Wrap-up

Soccer is over and ended on a high note for the girls! 

Woo Hoo!!  Zoe's soccer team (Fancy Footwork) won their tournament this past weekend!  They played 2 amazing games, one in the morning under blue skies and the final game a couple of hours later in a downpour of rain.  The girls and the spectators were soaked, but we all actually loved it.  It was fun to watch and play in the elements!  Another great piece of news is Zoe scored the winning goal! 

Go Zoe!!

Here is a team photo I tried to capture in the rain.   Excuse the hooded figure blocking the girls.  Can you guess who that is?  It's Eli, doing his best impression of Yoda on Dagobah.

The coaches decided that the girl's weren't cold enough and dragged us all to get yogurt after the game to celebrate.  Brrrr....but I guess it tastes good when you win.

Zoe and Coach John displaying their hardware and fending off a brain freeze.

After all that hoopla, we dropped Zoe off to a sleepover birthday party and John, Eli and I went to Avatars for some great Indian food.  Perfect ending to a perfect day!

We relaxed the rest of the weekend.  I picked up a great new book at the Library.  Cheesy cover, but it's good!  It's a science fiction novel and I just love Sci-Fi!

John and I made this together for dinner.

I made this for dessert!  Yummy!  I will post both on my cooking blog!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!

Weekend wrap-up!

Lets just call this weekend soccer fest!  

Between both kids we had 5 soccer games.

Zoe’s team played 3 tournament games and won all 3 games!  

Zoe played amazingly well and scored a couple goals!
The views at her games are amazing, Mt Tam is in the background and the marsh on the other side.  
You couldn't of asked for better weather either, as it was a sunny 75 degrees both days.
Perfect California soccer watching weather ;)

Her team now gets to play at the finals next weekend and boy are they excited.

Eli's team, the Rustlers, played their last two games yesterday :(

They do not have tournaments at his age level :)
He had a great season as well, scoring goal upon goal every game!
I love watching him play because he just gets in there and has no fear.  
When I yell, "Eli, go get the ball and run with it," he looks at me, winks and goes after it.
I love that little guy :)

There were end of the season parties for both kids!  Pizza and cupcakes. 

Yummy!

We finally carved Eli's pumpkin.

We waited to late to get the tools and had to use these.  I know, Disney Princess, really, and for a 7-year-old boy?

 In the process of cutting his pumpkin, the little pink saw broke!

Hmmm….  That might of been a deliberate move on his part, I mean a pink saw?

In the end, the pumpkin turned out great (even though I had to cut the mouth with a kitchen knife due to the broken saw)!

Ate too much of this..

That is why I am eating this for dinner.  I will post this recipe on my cooking blog this week.

Good night and Happy Halloween!
