Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child: How to pack a shoebox with Bob and Larry

Of pioneers and soccer.

The park program that we helped Hubs with was a pioneer themed program.  On a little off time K, dressed here as Laura Ingalls Wilder, decided to try the stilts.  Kiddo was great!
As you can see . . .
. . . I wasn't nearly as successful.
The 3 layers of my Caroline Ingalls outfit wasn't terribly helpful.  
(The pouch on my side held my not-so-pioneer Epi pen.)
Finally, I got myself upright and moving.  I was told to have the sticks behind my arms and not in front.  It made a huge difference!
Today was the last day of fall soccer.  

K was in there. 

 When kiddo kicks the ball, she puts everything she has into it.  Not only does she become fully involved with every limb, but she also has her tongue hanging out of her mouth.  Last week, I got pictures of her as she ran across the field and her tongue was sticking out on one side and as she ran, she moved it all the way to the other side of her mouth.  It was funny to see in all of the action shots!

She got a goal in the last second of the game.  The game was left tied 2-2.  

We're ready for a sports break for late fall/early winter.  Archery will start back up in mid-January, swimming in late February and soccer again in late April.  A break now is a good thing! 

Have a great day!
