Football and Pumpkins

This has been a fun week. Avery finished her Puddlejumpers class. She will really miss going. She got a certificate and was very proud of herself.

Reading a book.



Avery with her certificate and the fake smile!!



Homecoming


It was Homecoming week at Arlington. The girls played in a powder puff football game Thursday night. We went to watch Hannah. The teams tied and it looked like they had a lot of fun. Avery kept saying she wanted to go watch Hannah "be a boy" . This was the first year they have had a football homecoming. The weather was terrible. It was raining and cold. They had to do all the homecoming stuff in the gym before the game. But, we won the game!




Allie and the little girl cheerleaders got to cheer at the pep rally on Friday. They did a pom pom routine It was really cute. I tried to post the video, but I can't get it rotated. So you have to watch it sideways.








Saturday, we carved our pumpkin. Allie and Avery had a good time. They spent a lot of time digging around in the pumpkin getting out one seed at a time. Allie wanted it to have a mean face. I am not the best pumpkin carver, so this is as mean as it gets. But, I will say I am better than Chris. Last year he cut all the teeth out. So I did the carving this time. Do you think he planned that? Probably so! Anyway the girls had a great time!

Go Eagles!

Last night we went to Arlington's football game. They are doing really well this year. They won 6 games and only lost 1. They beat Heritage 42 to 13 last night. This year they have a little girls cheer squad for the elementary students. They practice once a week and they cheer at 2 football games and some basketball games. We signed Allie up and she loves it!!! Last night couldn't have come fast enough for her. She practices cheering all the time and has even taught Avery some cheers. They were really cute. I tried to put a video on here, but I can't figure it out. Maybe Chris can later.

All the cheerleaders. Allie is the first kid, on the first row.











This is what Avery does when you tell her to smile. Funny!




Avery actually loves this Eagle although in this picture she looks a little scared. She asked all night where the eagle was. When the eagle picked her up she said, "Take my picture".
