Justin with friend Cory Elliott from Bakersfield

The final soccer games of the season.

Ahhh, a bit of a slow down. I volunteered on Monday at where Pollyanna and Deanna were co-leading Project Ride Smart. Usually two people have to fit 30 bicycle helmets in about 30 minutes. That’s 2 minutes/student, you’ve got to be FAST! It was still fast-paced today with three of us.On Thursday, I worked helping with blacktop drills. Afterward, I took Sophia to her soccer practice.Eek – a bit of a strain on this little chair. Compact iPad game play.

Thais and Lenin went to dinner and I got to watch all three grandchildren – yay! Resting after sending many cars down the race track:Big mess ahead:Blowing slime bubbles and watching TV at the same time:Avery wanted to chop some walnuts but he wasn’t strong enough to press down on the plunger. “Wait Grandma, I know what to do!”And this kitchen tool was renamed the Butt Nut Chopper.

At Sophia’s game.Nestled in Carson’s stroller until his game started.Defender waiting for the ball downfield.Lenin took Avery to his soccer game while Thais took Carson to gymnastics.

Yikes! Get down from there.This is an interesting way to tattle on my grandchildren … ?

On the way to school in the morning:Later in the evening, dinner (and World Series Game 7) at Thais and Lenin’s with family and neighbors:Kellen, next door neighbor:The crew gets ready to go trick-or-treating:Two sewers and their combined projects. Thais made Carson’s Baby Charizard and Lauren’s Wonder Woman. She is the Mother of All Dragons (Charizards). I made Sophia’s devil and Avery’s Charizard.
