Soccer Party – medal time!
I didn’t have time this season to make the big soccer cake. A bit sad about that, but perhaps next season – if there is one, Cassie sounds like she wants to move on to something else – perhaps gymnastics.
She did, however, get her medal. She’s very proud of it. Tom had a really good season too. I think if she decides to stop playing, he will miss it way more than she will.
Final Soccer Game of Fall 08
The final soccer game was a week ago and the kids had a great time! It was a pretty relaxed game and even Cassie got in on the action a little more (she’s usually the kid just running around in circles looking at the clouds).
Here she is with Coach Dad – I’m not sure what they were doing, but it appeared to be funny.
The sad part is only 4 families showed up for the last game. Participation seems to taper off. It irks me a bit that the parents don’t see it as a commitment but we know people just get busy, I guess.
Longhorn fan girls…
I think Fridays are college football days at school… anyway, half the kids at Jamie’s party earlier this month were wearing burnt orange. I caught Cassie and the little girl next door and made them pose for a photo.
What’s so interesting is that Tom and I could care less about football. We went with the Longhorns stuff because… ummm, we live in Austin and you can find burnt orange all over the place.
Soccer Photos from Last Weekend
No game this weekend, so here’s some from last weekend. The team kicked butt! They rocked and did a great job. Goooo… Longhorns!
Just 2 more games before the season ends. A few friends have come out to watch Cassie’s game now and then – it’s very special for the kids to have people they love come watch. They love it!
Lego Mindstorms Videos – Finally!
Okay, I’m ignoring the fact that the sound didn’t come over, but I finally got the video off of my cell phone!
This is this week. They made helicopters. Way cool, dude!
I like last week’s the best though… robot dogs! They used the sensors so that if they started coming close to you, it would back up. Really cute. They didn’t program it to bark though – LOL
I think they made this one the week before… whatever… anyway, here’s a merry-go-round:
