The kids went back to school today after being home for their 2 week fall break. I have to give parents who homeschool a lot of credit. I don't know how they do it. I was very excited to take them back to school today.
We did have 2 great weeks. First Erin and I went to LA. We had a lot of fun. Erin got her ears pierced and she bought a new American Girl doll. The picture is Erin and her dolls having lunch at the American Girl Doll Cafe. It was a fun weekend. Then last weekend we went camping as a family to Mount Madonna in Watsonville. It was a beautiful park with nice trails and also paved roads for the kids to bike ride and use their rip sticks. The weather was perfect. We had a great time and are planning our next camping trip. I am lucky that Mario does most of the planning. He has all his camping stuff very organized and he plans all the meals. I just have to pack for myself and the twins.
Nathan scored his first goal in soccer. He and Zachary had a game within an hour of us getting back from our camping trip. So we were all exhausted. Nathan didn't want to play. He didn't even want to put on his uniform. After a little pep talk, he went out there and played more aggressively than I have ever seen him play. Maybe I need to give that same pep talk to Zachary. I thought the five dollars Mario gave Nathan for his first goal would make Zachary try harder. Nope, he seemed happy for Nathan but not concerned at all that he didn't get five dollars. He is so aggressive at home, but not the slightest bit aggressive on the soccer field.
