Halloween around here was kind weird this year. Normally our very kid friendly neighborhood is teeming with trick-or-treaters and this year we couldn't figure out where all of the kids went! We went out around 6:30 and we had had one group of kids. I was kinda stingy with the candy cuz we usually run out. We had one, yes ONE other kid come to the door. So...............we have candy for the 3 boys, and the big boys graciously traded any of their non-chocolate candy with Jack for his chocolate, we have all of the candy that I bought for the masses that didn't show, AND we went to see Papa Bill the next day and he handed us his two remaining bags of candy. UGH! I'm trying to keep the winter weight off not pack it on like mud! So my 3 boys are Brom (from Eragon), Spanish soccer player and Racer X. My niece is in the front dresses as a drama queen. Our friends and neighbors are Karli as a pirate and Megan as a Barbie witch (with the giant hat.)

Life is actually slowing down a bit. Keegan is still playing for 2 soccer teams but now their practices are at the same time so he only has practice 2-3 days each week instead of 4-5. He played back to back games this weekend. WEll, kinda. His first game was at 11:45. It was nice and sunny. Not very cold. Not even a wind. So.......we didn't grab the umbrellas. In my defense I had the three boys by myself as Jeff was at the Seahawks game and the schedule had us at one field, that I parked near, and we were at another field across the complex. Well, the first half was great. The second half not so much. It was a torrential downpour! The kind that sounds like hail on your umbrella. And the wind. Yep, to add insult to injury it was strong enough to turn the umbrellas inside out! Yeah..........loads of fun. Of course Keegan was soaked when he got done. Thank goodness I made him pack 2 of everything (except underwear, and we'll probably pack that next time). He got changed and had 20 minutes to warm up, dry off and get some food in his body. He played a great first half of his second game and then just didn't have anything left. He was still trying his hardest, but got beat in a foot race every time. He slept like a dead log that night. We're back at it this weekend with a tournament on Sat and Sun. Konley has his final game on Saturday and Keegan starts indoor soccer on Sunday. And so goes the Roberts family............from one game to another. I should've known that life would be like this when you only make boys. :o)
