Keegan Quote

Keegan, getting frustrated when her pen wouldn't write, "Write, pen." Scribble, scribble, scratch. "You are pretty useless, pen."

Soccer!

Keegan, loaded up with water, chair, ball, hoodie, etc., ready to play!
Looks like a lot of stuff for a one hour game, doesn't it?

 Kelsey, ready to watch.

 Keegan played goalie half of the game this week.  That always makes me nervous! They only scored twice on her out of nine attempts. I was pretty proud.  But still nervous :).

 

 

Kelsey thought it got a little chilly, haha.

 Funniest call on Keegan ever - Keegan was having a great play, dribbling up the sideline toward her goal.  Suddenly, the referee blew the whistle not one, but three times.  She and I both stared at him blankly, having no idea what had happened.

Turns out he blew it for a good reason, but it was nothing Keegan did.  A girl and boy had decided to take a short cut, carrying their chair and things right across the field! The ref said something to the effect of, "We are playing a game," but it didn't faze them.  They just ambled right on across.
A bit puzzled as to how to resolve the situation, the ref finally just waited out the walkers, then gave Keegan an indirect kick.  Seemed fair to me!

Caitlyn Quote

Caitlyn was giving an oral review of U.S. History.  After the Revolutionary War, she summed up the situation by saying, "Basically what was left was an independent mess."
:) Love it.

Aren't they cute?

One day the girls and I were talking and they arranged themselves like this.  It was so cute, I just had to document it with a picture.

That's the short story.

 The long story includes all of the above, but also the fact that every time I took a picture, Kelsey's eyes were closed,or almost closed

.

She had a spell when this happened ALL OF THE TIME.

Finally I started saying, "Kelsey, please keep your eyes open."

 It didn't help.

Eventually, Keegan gave this helpful demonstration, saying, "Kelsey, do like this!"

Hahaha.  The last picture might be my favorite of all :D.

Playing trivia -
The question, "What is Vermont famous for - cranberries, oranges, or maple syrup?"
Excited Kelsey, "CHEESE!"

Practically Wordless Wednesday

Keegan with a camera

 

What happens when Keegan plays with my camera....

 

She wasn't real keen on this one, but I thought it was too funny to omit :).

 

Summer

Now that fall is in the air, I am finally getting around to posting some leftover summer pictures. There are a lot of swimming pictures, but then again, we did a lot of swimming this year :).



Happy fall, y'all!
