Calvin has always loved to read stories before bedtime. Lately I have been letting him stay up with the light on and look at books until he is ready to go to sleep. He loves this, although I'm starting to rethink it. Some nights he will stay up for an hour reading. I go into check on him and he has books spread all over his bedroom floor. Normally when he is done he will lay down and pull his blankets up over him and go to sleep. One night when I went to check on him I found this:
It's like he was going to reach for one more book and just got so tired and passed out in the process.
Another night we took the boys to "Santa's Arrival" at the mall. It was neat, but it was SO crowded. They had coloring activities, milk and cookies, a visit with Mrs. Claus, music, Curious George, Care Bears, and ballet dancers. Unfortunately, the line to see Santa was so long that we didn't even bother. Calvin was upset, but has since been back to the mall to give Santa his "list" (which only consists of 3 items, thankfully!). We did get a picture of the boys with Mrs. Claus though.
Calvin went to a great pirate themed birthday party at the CC science and history museum, complete with a scavenger hunt, and we ended up with these pirate costumes that the boys had a great time with. Could it be next year's Halloween costume?
Calvin had his last soccer game this month. It was really amazing to watch him during the last game and think of the first game he ever played and what a difference there was. He actually got better in just two short months. And although his real love was playing goalie, he did pretty good on the field. I managed to get a video of him almost scoring a goal. He actually did score one shortly after I shot this video. In case you can't tell, Cal is number ten (or the one with with his shirt tucked in and shorts pulled up to his armpits - his doing, not mine!)

Calvin is so cute falling asleep while reading...talk about fostering a love of books in that one!
Impressed they came up with the idea for their own pool and started to make it happen!
One of the only reasons I am thankful to be living here is because of the fall colors. I'm sorry you never get a brake from the summer. You should take the pict of Calvin and the cute little caption that you thought of and submit it to a book/library/reading contest. Not sure if there is one out there but you just may win. That pict was so cute!
What a great video of him kicking so well. Looks like a pro out there on the field. Also loved his male cheerleader (keep up the good work cheering. That's what parents are for.)
Glad he loves to read. Funny how he fell asleep.
