Overheard at the Circus

For Paige's sixth birthday we surprised her with a trip to Ringling Brothers Circus at the All State Arena. Despite her week long affliction with a mild temperature, we went to the Grateast Show on Earth!! The kids had a blast and at some point the male gymnasts came out in their flame design leggings but bare chested. At this point, Quinn yells out, :Those boys are naked!!!" The teenage girls in the row ahead of us, just about wet themselves!!

Awe moments

After a small sprinkling on Nov 7, 2011, as I was loading Quinn into the car, I drew a heart on his window. When I got in the car, he said, "Thanks Dad. That made me feel really happy.". Insert awe here!

Fangshed's Halloween Bash

It was once again an epic Halloween party hosted by the Fangshed's in the spookiest garage in Brookfield. The steamed hot doggies and polish sausages, the chili dump, the treat table from heaven! Paige went as Dorothy, Quinn was again a soccer ball, mom was a beer keg and dad was a king. The kids were chilled but made it through, watched some outdoor movies, ate a ton of junk and the parents got their party on too. Great costumes, good friends, plentiful food and drink and fun for all!

Finale soccer game and Paige is en fuego!

The Green Goblin soccer season ended with Pele Paige netting 2 more goals! She was a super jet racing from offense back to defense! She did a terrific job and again shared the goal production lead with a Niego sister, but his time it was Catalina. The Green Goblins won 5-2 to finish the season at .500 of 4-4. Great job Paige, we are so proud of you and all the work you put into the season. We were happy to celebrate with the team with some green goblin jello eyeballs, hot apple cider, apple slices and goldfish.

Athletic and dramatic!?!

Well, after six games Paige finally got on board with he idea of playing on he offensive side of he field. She spent an entire quarter racing from one end of he Imelda to the other getting all Lionel Messi on the other team as she put away two goals! She accounted for half the teams goals, as Izzy had the other two on the way to a 4-3 win. The best was after scoring her first goal, she took off running and was back to the midfield line before anyone else on the field, just like a professional! Way to go Paige!
