My next door neighbor Jen and I took the kids to Marbles on Friday since we are all tracked out from school. It was a good time – I think we enjoyed the international section most and really got into the Marrakesh part. We did henna designs on our hands and made ‘plates’ to sell at the market. We haggled on the prices at our market too and they had a Moroccan tea party! They also loved making hieroglyphics with the stamp set.
Marbles is fun but at ten year old Hayley is definitely at the max end of the range there.

What an amazing game. Hats off to Notre Dame for giving the Heels a huge challenge. However it sure was nice to take out a quality opponent. Forcing five turnovers was big.
5-1 Heels, one game from bowl eligible – sounds mighty sweet.

To get in the Halloween spirit, Hayley and I made a Halloween wreath that we just adore. Then we set off for the pumpkin patch with our next-door neighbors where we bought many pumpkins (and pretended to eat them where I taught Ethan to fake throw up, lol).

Hayley went over to my folks and had a blast. They went fishing on a friend’s farm and Hayley got eight fish! The next day they took a train ride!

Hayley had some photos taken recently by a wonderful photographer Kelly Murphy. I bought a few of the photos as instant download digital images before I get the rest in print and on a CD.

I love Leslie Hall and her Gem Sweaters. If you don’t know the story, she collects and models horrible bedazzled sweaters. She also has a website that will crack you up – plus it highlights her band Leslie and the Lys that sings about sweaters and other important midwest diva issues.
Her CD made me snort with laughter. I didn’t know she had a video online for the band’s song about Gem Sweaters:

Tonight we went to Chili’s because they were giving all the profits to St. Jude’s Childrens Hospital. A very good cause of course!
We all went to celebrate Hayley’s awesome report card as well as ‘Nice to meet you day’, the anniversary of the first day we ever met Hayley. We had such fun – silly toasts, sharing a gooey dessert, sharing our feelings of love and happiness over our family. It was one of those nights all is right with our world. I won’t forget it for a long time.

A few photos from Hayley’s second soccer game of the season. She is playing for the U11 Rockets this season.
They won this game – they are undefeated actually. I’ll post photos from the game today (3-1 win) tomorrow probably. These galleries here will be just the ones of Hayley.

The last night of July, we piled up everyone for the nearly sold out massive Avril Lavigne & Jonas Brothers concert. It was INSANE but the girls had so much fun. We found their friends and had a group of ten girls from our neighborhood mostly of them on the swim team together. Great concert and such well-behaved kids.
I had posted a few photos right after the concert but here are all of them:
