Pumpkin Painting

Austin's pre-school class had to decorate pumpkins for their "pumpkin patch" at school.  Austin wanted to make his a Frankenstein pumpkin and he found in his words "the perfect pumpkin" for painting!  Here is the result!

Notice the little black pumpkin next to it...that's Frankenstein's cat.  At least that's what Austin said!

It didn't turn out too bad considering I'm not much of an artist!

My Soccer Star!

Or Not!!  Austin asked for months before time if he could play soccer in the fall and when the time rolled around we signed him up.  Let's just say it was entertaining to say the least.  He's only 4 and you can't expect them to be superstars, but Austin liked being the entertainer of the group.  He had his moments of playing well, but there were more moments of him just being him.

There team ended up doing pretty well in the season.  They ended up 3rd out of 6 teams and got to play in 2 of the 3 final games before being beat 4-3.  Entertainer or not I was proud of Austin and am glad that he enjoyed the experience.  Here are a few pictures from our soccer adventure.

 Taking a quick break!

 He was so proud of his soccer medal!

 He even slept with it!
