Flag Football

Jake is playing flag football this year. He says it is "ok." His team has not won a game yet so that is disappointing. However, he keeps on playing and pushing forward!

7th Grade Basketball

Zach made the Mahomet-Seymour 7th grade basketball team. We are proud of him for all his hard work and determination in making the team. There were lots of kids who tried out and he was one of the 15 who made it!

Players have to dress up on game days. Right down to ties and dress shoes! Makes for a pretty handsome young man, huh?
Paragi - #5!!
Ready for his 2nd game!
Playing Danville Southview. M-S won by 4! It got a little tight there at the end!

This new opportunity for Zach brings lots of changes for the family - two to three games a week, many crock pot meals and 6 am practices to name a few. But thus far, it has been a fun adventure!

Pumpkins, Costumes and Candy - Oh my!

One of our family traditions is painting our pumpkins. It is usually a fun time.

Jake was saying "Why I oughta!!" I love this kid!
Zach's M-S pumpkin. He painted a target on the other side and is trying to convince me to let him shoot it up with the BB gun!
Lizzie painted one side and drew words on the other.
Lizzie's class took a nature walk at school and collected leaves and nature "things." This is her leaf creation.
