Hailey had a really busy week a few weeks ago (and I've been really busy and just now am getting around to this post!) She had her first school project and in "Hailey-fashion" refused all help/suggestions! :) I read her the project sheet and she did a great job!! On Halloween they weren't allowed to dress up at her school but they did have a school wide Hat Parade. The assignment was to make or decorate a hat with a WORD. Hailey choose "little" and went to town. The only suggestion she accepted from me was how to fold the tape to stick on her drawings verses long strips across the top of the illustrations. :) I thought it turned out pretty cute!

| This is the entire school!!! I love it! It's like we are sending her to a private school! :) Her class is down to only 16 kids and at least one if not two more are leaving at the Christmas break! With two teachers (and a parent helper in the class everyday for 1 1/2 hrs during reading group/center time) it's A-W-E-S-O-M-E! |

| I cringe looking at her outfit....it was GAME day and in addition to her jersey she wanted to wear her shorts but it was too cold so this is what she opted for. :) |
Later that night we had one of our last soccer games of the season. Hailey scored THREE goals and had an awesome chase-down-from-behind-break-away defensive save! :) We put a pretty bad beating on the other team and it's so hard to take the drive out of 5 year olds and tell them to stop scoring! Before the last quarter I had a pep talk with the kids who were playing and told them to try and take it easy because the other team probably felt really sad. I didnt say anything about "letting" them score, but Leevi caught it once on film where Hailey is totally in position and doesn't do anything....she even let out a little cheer for the other team when they got their first goal. I didn't realize how obvious it was until Hailey asked me on the ride home if I was proud of her for letting them get a goal. :) We had a really fun season....more to post about that as soon as I can catch up!
If you listen closely to the video you and hear Leevi mumbling things like "no mercy...run it up...double digits...lookin for scholarships here" :)
I don't think there are any action clips in this video but it sums up how much fun we had during the season! :) We did have a pretty talented team this year but it will make for an interesting Spring Season when most of these guys move up to the next age bracket!
On Thursday she had Awanas and earned her Hang Glider Emblem, her Pilot Wings and two Jewels! She was so proud of herself (we were too!!!!!!) We are really happy that she enjoys going to Awanas!
Now that soccer has wrapped up until the Spring we aren't quite so busy! And there have been lots of breaks from school in November which is nice but at the same time eats up my free time to get things done (i.e. update the blog!!!) Leevi has travelled to Norway, Poland, Croatia, Kansas, Virginia, and Spain over the past two months! Talk about the Army Adventure! The extra money seems to make it worth our while but we definitely eat him up while he's here!!!!!! We are looking forward to our family vacation to Paris over Thanksgiving!!!!!!
