September

Since school started up last month, we've been busy getting into our routine.  September has been busy but fun.  School is keeping the boys busy, but not too busy.  We headed up to Bandelier for a day trip over Fall Break.  Soccer started up too, so we are in the throws of weekly practices, games and tournaments.  It's always fun to start up the season again after a summer hiatus, and I know the boys enjoy it too.  Dawson is along for the ride most days and doesn't seem to mind all the car rides, stops, pick ups, games, parks, and general overall craziness!  He's a good sport.  Here are some bits from our month:

•  'Talk Like a Pirate' Day at Krispy Kreme.  Yes, we donned eye patches, stripes and in Dawson's case, a full on pirate costume.  We sold our for doughnuts, and we plan on doing it again and again because it's too fun not too!  Beckett refused to dress up with us but did enjoy the doughnut booty.  Who knows, maybe we can persuade him next year.  Good times!

• The boys took part in Spirit Week at school.  There was a crazy hair day where they had blue hair, twin day (pictured below), and others.  It was fun!

• Then there's our soccer days.  This time of year is just glorious, so being outside for the practices and games is more of a treat than a burden (like in the springtime).  Dawson loves playing in the grass, and we love cheering on our boy's teams.  Soccer season is in full swing over here!
