Busy Weekend! Lots of Rain!

This week we had alot of rain. I don't know why I am always surprised by it. But it came down very hard on Friday and Saturday. We have a big drain in front of our house and it gets all clogged by leaves very easily this time of year. Gary is out clearing out the leaves so it can drain. He had a neighbor boy Gus help him out. Well I think he likes walking in the big puddle. Who wouldn't!

Andrew played a great game of soccer on Saturday. It rained so hard during the game it looked like the field had a river running through it. The boys loved it and they won the game. His team this year is doing really well. Andrew has also improved by leaps and bounds this year. Yeah! Go Andrew!
This is the team after the rain stopped, at the end of the game of course.

The boys loved seeing all the worms get washed up to the surface of the field. I tried not too look to close. Gross!

Hard to believe this game was played at 8 am! The clouds were so dark and heavy with rain! Such cute boys!

Andrew looking a little wet!

No games get canceled here! Only if we see lightning. And that is rare around here. If we canceled all the games when it rained, we would never play. :-)

Vincent all dressed up for Newport Homecoming Dance. The theme for the Freshmen was "Cartoon Network'. So we decided that a stick man drawing would fit. I attached some clear vinyl tubing to his clothes and then inserted some glow stick necklaces and bracelets into the tubing. It turned out pretty cool. I got the idea from the Internet on a homemade costumes site.

Vincent said he got alot of attention at the dance from everyone. He was not sure about that, being a Freshman and everything. And he does not attend this school. He was a guest invited by some friends.

Vincent with this friends. He has know this group since Kindergarten. They are in the Spanish Immersion group. I am glad they are keeping in touch with Vincent. Since he goes to a different school this year.

Cute girls!

The skies finally cleared up. Vincent's team had a great game. He came very close to scoring 3 times. Their team won 2-1. We really enjoy watching his team play. And Gary is really enjoying not coaching any more. He can sit and enjoy and talk with the parents. He never got to do that before.
We have noticed that alot of his friends have been getting injured this year. At this game his team mate got a cut lip and needed 6 stitches and got a concussion also.
