weekend

fall sports are over.
and since i have been accused of not caring about sports…

lauren tried volleyball for the first time.
loved it.
she wishes the season was much longer.
she received the ‘most improved’ award!
she moved from the B team to the A team mid season.
it was so nice to see her really get in to a sport.

scott chose soccer over football…gasp!
he plays everyday at recess
he was really working at improving.
he scored almost every game and played hard!

this photo perfectly captures sean on the soccer field…
in his own world.
i believe this is spiderman?
he loved playing but can easily be distracted by his thoughts.

talby was finally old enough for soccer.
big year.
the only time she was unhappy was when she had to be a defender
staying by the goal…she hated that.
she just wanted to kick it!

feet photo by sean…one of my favorites.

annie wants her own soccer game so badly.
and she was tired of the camera.

and for the record…
i do care about sports.
i just don’t always enjoy being around the pressuring parents that are there.
i may show up to a game one of these days with a poster that says “HAVE FUN”
and run up and down the field shouting it…louder than the other parents
also having 4 kids in tow with me for every game is sometimes tough.
and i am not usually happy with my pictures i take.
but i do care about sports.

saturday was the family outing for craig’s office.
hanging out at the zoo.
lauren wanted to hide behind the camera that day…
kind of nice to share that job.

here’s what i look like from the back.
there were many of these…i’m not sure what she was trying to capture
boredom?
but i kind of like this behind-the-scenes shot of our life.

i took this one.
goats always look so annoyed.
they look like they can’t be bothered by you…
“you bore me” he says.

bob vila at work again.
craig is so good at stuff.
i am not trying to embarrass you honey.
just so impressed at all you can do.

new garbage disposal.
so look out rotten leftovers.
