Weekend Fun

Saturday was the last day of football for the Colts. It was tournament day and both Todd and Evan were excited to see how the team would do. The first game was at 8:30 in the morning and it was really chilly. They won their first and second games and made it to the finals. They ended up losing the championship game, but came in second place, so that is really something to be proud of. Way to go team and Coach!

Colts Flag Football Team - Great Job!

Evan and Todd after the tournament. I don't know if Todd's expression is one of exhaustion or just relief that the season is over! It was fun, but also a lot of hard work.

On Sunday Evan and I made a trek to the pet store, which is one of his favorite places to go. He had coupons for some free fish and I needed to get some treats for Gwen. Evan put the fish in the pond, but it has been getting cooler here, so we will see how long they survive!



Last night Todd and Evan carved their annual pumpkin. I think that it turned out pretty good and they had a fun time. They will display it at Wanda's tonight, which is where Evan will do his Trick or Treating.

Boo!

Pond Chronicles Part III

Evan and Todd keep working on the pond, and it is paying off. This past weekend I saw some lovely flowers blooming and just had to take a photo. A big change after the snail destruction episode! Thus, we now have these pretty plants and one orange fish in the pond.

Evan is cleaning the pump every day and had the idea that get a fish that eats algae would help. We made our way to the pet store and got the biggest one we could find. The store clerk warned us not to expect miracles, but Evan was okay with that.

Since it looks like the pond is going to stay, Todd started fixing it up with some decorative slate. I'm impressed!
