AYSO season. Both the girls played again - this year, Emmerson was on a co-ed team and she really enjoys playing. Unfortunately, she is playing in an indoor league now that is above her ability level and she does not like it which is sad to see. She just doesn't want to do anything wrong and it really effects her confidence and how she plays. Oh well - she will have a few more seasons of AYSO which she loves. It was hard for me to get out to many games as I was in my own season which includes Saturday games or practice. It was actually quite a nice fall for the most part which made coaching and watching the girls bit more pleasant - can be painful standing on the sidelines in wet chilly weather.
Kittens are still quite the couple. We had a fright with Neko this fall.
Frustrating as I could not quite get close enough to take a recognizable picture of the license plate and drive at the same time ... but it was a license plate from a reservation - i think it had AZ on it which indicates Arizona but the name of the tribal group of the reservation was also posted.
Being a bit obnoxious here but such is the luxury of writing in a platform that no one will read except oneself for posterious (made up this word) entertainment. Captured here is the essence of the difference between travel soccer and AYSO - it was cold - so much for ht pleasant fall ... and this gal was put in goal and to keep her feet warm, most likely to insure quality touch on the ball, she opted to don her Uggs for the match. All said and done - AYSO keeper gear - 60$ - Travel keeper gear - 600$. Wonder which one is having more fun .... again - obnoxious.
The "indian summer" had definitely traveled on. Wet and chilly.
Emmerson did a good job with her rendition of a popular motif these days - the pumpkin with a compromised digestive system.
Yaayyyy - Ada's pumpkin with creepy scars and facial features and such .... yaaay Ada!!
I have gone minimalist in my pumpkin carving. Trying to maintain some relevance to Halloween whithout the intricate carving. I have gotten it down to three relatively large, easy to cut shapes but still kind of creepy - especially when we inserted Emmerson's hair from her brush into the eye slots for the eyebrows.
Good posing by the critters.
Ada was a soccer player zombie. Pretty amazing the props you can get to make a 10 year old girl look like a zombie. I remember back in the day - we were all bums or hobos (both of which I am pretty sure are a rather unacceptable descriptor these days) which involved darkening the face with a charcoal bricket or shoe polish ....
