• Been busy, as usual.  Subbing some at Jake's school and at another school for a friend.  I am beginning to want to go back to teaching, but we have had that discussion so I will not repeat myself.

  Jake is playing soccer this fall.  He is on the Transformers.  I have seen a huge improvement in his ability this year.  He is actually getting it.  He even made a goal at the last game.  Of course I wasn't there to see it.  He has a fantastic coach and an assistant coach.  They just have it together, there is a plan, or at least it appears that way, of what the kids are going to work on during practice.  I am very pleased with it.  Jake is enjoying it, although there are times when he says he does not want to do soccer, but I think that is when he is to tired, like right before practice.  Kindergarten wears him out and then to have to go to practice a few hours later is hard for him.  But he is a trooper.

  Jake and Gracee got to decorate pumpkins with Mr./Miss Potato Head faces.  They turned out really cute.  Amy and I found the stuff at Target.  They had fun putting it together.  Here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure:
  

  
  

  
  

  We are so ready for Halloween! Bob's aunt and uncle are coming to visit us that weekend.  Jake has his fall fest party at school, his last soccer game, and then trick-or-treating.  It will be a busy weekend, but full of lots of fun.  Jake is going to be Wall-E and Gracee is going to be Eve.  Amy and I are making their costumes.  I think what we have planned will turn out great. I hope so!  Pictures will be posted.

  Tomorrow Bob and I are meeting with Jacobs teacher for a conference to talk about how he is doing for the first six weeks.  This is standard practice here at the school.  I am sure she is going to tell me that he is so brillant that she suspects he will be the next Einstein, I am just sure of it!
