I asked Shelby to write her name and she cam back with the below. Progress!

Olaf!
If you thought Halloween was only one day, you are mistaken. We are nearly a week out and we have been to three different Halloween functions. I guess it makes that $30 costume all worth it, right? Shelby picked an Olaf costume - the snowman from Frozen. It is funny to see other kids get excited about her....they point and say "look mom, Olaf!!"
First, Shelby's school had a little carnival on Friday. These are hard for me to get excited about after a long day, but they are important to Shelby and I do enjoy the opportunity to see what is going on in the classroom a little bit. Jack was done at 5pm, so he was able to make it too.
On Saturday Jack's gym hosted a really cute event for the kids. We had a PACKED day, so we were only there for about an hour, but they did a very nice job. Shelby enjoyed the balance beam and getting her nails painted :)
On Saturday night we went to our neighborhood Halloween function. We left the camera at home, but it was a very cute, well-attended function. We feel fortunate to live in a community with so many nice, young families.

Soccer Saturdays
Shelby has turned out to be quite the little soccer player and I dare say, the star of her team. Her first and second game got off to rocky starts, but man....once she got the hang of it, she has never looked back. This Saturday she had a really wonderful goal (three total!), where she was running down the field and actually slowed down the ball to realign her angle to the goal. It was impressive.. As for the Monday, post-work practices, they are tough on all of us, but an important part of the process. I love my little "soccer rocker."

| After she scores, she is so proud of herself and tosses her arms in the air. It is precious. |

The Pumpkin Patch
After two immensely busy weeks at work, I was simply craving some quality time with my sweet Shelby Pie. I watched her dance class at school and then picked her up early so we could do lunch and naps together at home. On our drive home, she spotted a pumpkin patch along the road and asked if we could go. I recall from the past that the pumpkins were OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive, so I knew we'd just be going for the other things, but the attractions are what pulled her in anyway.
You can tell from the pictures that Shelby had a great time. I made a huge mistake of riding a ride that went in circles....I was nauseous the rest of the afternoon. But it was worth it :)
