Benny had his last game. It was a great season, although I'm not sure how many games they actually won. He made a good buddy who goes to the other school in our neighborhood, but I'm sure they will remain friends since they both love sports.
Afterward, they had a little banquet where the kids got a piece of pizza, a Caprisun and a trophy. I'm sure I've posted about my dislike of kids getting a trophy for everytime they sneeze, but if they're going to get them anyway, the one that Benny got was pretty cute. It's a soccer ball sans face, but has arms and legs. In one of the hands is a mini trophy. It's kind of ridiculous, but so is getting a trophy for just showing up. Ok, I'll stop with it.
Then we went back to our house to carve pumpkins. We've been accumulating quite a few of them and with Halloween around the corner we needed to get down to business!
It was kind of a cool night, but we had a bonfire going and there was enough running around by the kids for them to stay warm. They had a good time designing their pumpkin faces and they had lots of help with carving and de-gooping.
Below are the fruits of their efforts (along with Grandpa's and their aunts' and uncles'). The boys have entered the "spooky" stage of childhood, I guess you could say. They really like making scary faces now, with sharp teeth and mean eyes.
But right now, we have a lion, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and a Spiderman for Halloween. Not exactly the spookiest, but things could change before Sunday!
