It has been a busy/normal week for us. The pumpkin pictures were taken at a farm stand near us. Alyssa has been aching to get some pumpkins. In Montgomery we couldn't get pumpkins until just a couple of days before Halloween or they would rot but here we can have them all month long. Emma asked where the farmer was and when I pointed him out she looked confused and asked where the other farmer was. I guess she didn't think he looked like a farmer!
The field hockey pictures were taken yesterday. The temp was in the upper 50's and with a brisk wind we felt quite cold as you can tell by Diana's outfit. I don't know much about field hockey. It seems like soccer with sticks but they have a lot of rules and the whistle is always blowing. She played most of the game and did well. The three younger kids had a good time running around in the grass. Emma introduced herself to some of the opposing team's players. (Hi! I'm Emma. What's your name?) She has been very friendly lately which will surprise some of you I'm sure. Diana invited several of the girls from the team to our house afterward for food and a movie. We stayed up way too late watching the Red Sox game (Go Sox!) and so are pretty tired today.
Emma and Alyssa had their swim lessons this morning. Alyssa is a fish! I can see her doing swim team some day. Emma did better this morning. At least she got in the pool even though she wasn't happy about it. She didn't scream today which was a big improvement . She screamed through the entire lesson a couple of weeks ago.
