Saturday

Little League ended for the season this past Saturday. It was tournament play, which basically meant, you play until you lose. Our first game started at 11:30. We lost, so we didn't go on to play at 2. But if you ask James, he'll tell you that he won the baseball tournament. :)

Each kid on his team was given a trophy after the game. His coach also gave each boy a signed baseball and a bunch of treats. How can you not feel like a winner? James seemed to really enjoy the season, so we hope he'll want to play again this spring. JL really enjoyed being the ast. coach. He's thinking he may want to coach this spring.

James last at bat

Here he is with JL waiting for the go ahead to score a run

So proud of his trophy!

Wyatt being Dad

After playing on the ranch for a while, it was time to get ready for our church chili cook-off and trunk or treat! This is something my kids look forward to each year. Generally they get more candy here than they do on Halloween! It's ridiculous! But they are in kid heaven, so I figure what's a little candy here and there...

Wyatt declined to wear the costume I had hoped he would be. Instead, he was all for the little pumpkin costume!

All of us in our costumes

I'm pretty sure I never saw Wyatt without something in his mouth the entire night! Here he is chomping down on a brownie after eating two bowls of chili.

And here he is at the end of the night eating a few M&M's from his candy stash

Here's our trunk decor

Isabel and James picked each decoration and chose where it should go. They wanted our trunk to be the spookiest!

Cute, cute kids. My kids didn't cooperate with my costume aspirations either. Only I will know the cuteness that could have been...
