Spider monkey!

Our little kitty Sasha has been a mostly indoor kitty but last night the kids took her outside to play. I was inside working on a paper when the kids came in yelling, "Sasha is a spider monkey! She climbed to the very top of the tree!" I wasn't concerned because one, there are not that many tall trees around our house and 2, the kids are sometimes a little over-dramatic.An hour later, they were still worried about her getting down so I went outside to help her and this is what I found!

It took us about an hour and a half to get her down. I don't think that she will be going outside to play again anytime soon.

And they're off!

The soccer season officially kicked off this weekend. Alex had his first game on Friday night. This is the first year that Alex has played for a state-level club and I am still learning the parent etiquette. Saturday morning at 7, we loaded up the van with some boys from the team and headed to the next game.

It was a good game that ended 1-1. Alex is having a lot of fun and learning a ton!

While we were away, the girls stayed with Aunt Debbie and did some shopping. I am not sure how to feel about these hot little boots they got while I was gone but the LOVE them!

They also made sure that Sasha got something new too....the found this little red dress at the dollar store:)

We will spend the next couple months watching Alex play soccer and are sooooo excited about it!
